    This is a somewhat complicated subject and the discussion that follows goes well beyond the entry in the glossary. Numerical Aperture (N.A.): This is a number that expresses the ability of a lens to...

    Stereo Microscopy for Material Analysis: When to Use It for Microstructure Evaluation, Surface Inspection, and Failure Analysis(Post)

    In materials science, manufacturing, and quality control, understanding the characteristics of a material often begins with visual inspection. Before researchers move to high-magnification imaging tec

    Digital Camera Adapters(Page)

    Digital camera adapters are used to connect digital cameras to the trinocular port on your microscope or through the eyetube. Note that camera adapters are not universal but are specific to the type...

    What Are the Functions of Objective Lenses?(Post)

    What is a Microscope Objective Lens? A microscope objective lens is a fundamental component of a microscope responsible for gathering and magnifying the image of a specimen. Positioned in close proxim

    How Microscopy Supports Archaeology and Artifact Conservation(Post)

    When people think about archaeology, they usually picture excavation sites, brushes, and carefully uncovered ruins. But much of the real discovery happens long after artifacts leave the ground. In lab

    Infinity Corrected Optics (Page)

    What are Infinity Corrected Optics? Before Infinity corrected objectives were introduced, all microscopes had a fixed tube length. Microscopes that do not utilitze an infinity corrected optical...

    Environmental Microscopy: Identifying Particulates, Microplastics, and Airborne Contaminants(Post)
