Microscope maintenance is crucial for ensuring accurate observations and prolonging the life of your valuable instrument. When cleaning a microscope, you'll want to approach the task with care, preci ...
Microscope Resolution Explained Using Blood Cells(Post)Quite often people tell us the microscope resolution they need, but they don't really know what they mean by resolution. That's okay, as it is not necessarily a straight-forward concept. What is Reso ...
Stereo Microscope Requirements for High Magnification Inspection in Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printed Microstructures(Post)Additive manufacturing (AM) and micro‑scale 3D printing have unlocked designs that traditional machining can’t touch; lattice structures, microfluidic channels, conformal cooling, and ultra‑fin ...
What Microscope Magnification Should I Start With?(Post)What Objective Magnification Should I Start With? An important point to understand when working with compound microscopes and their objective lenses is that the field of view changes as the magnifica ...
Features of Infrared Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopes(Post)Features and Benefits of the Infrared Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope Semiconductor wafers, bonded wafer "sandwiches," and other microelectronic devices often require the ability to perform examin ...
Simple Microscope(Post)What Is a Simple Microscope? A simple microscope is a fundamental optical device comprised of a single lens that magnifies objects when they are placed close to the lens. This lens, typically convex ...
How To, When To and Why Use Immersion Oil(Page)Why Use Microscope Immersion Oil? When light passes from a material of one refractive index to another (for example: from glass to air), it bends. In the space between the microscope objective lens ...
Numerical Aperature(Page)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 ...
Microscope Magnification Versus Microscope Resolution(Page)In microscopy there are two concepts that many people often think of as one concept, but they are in fact very different. These two concepts are microscope resolution and microscope magnification. Fr ...
Microscope Parts and Specifications(Page)Historians credit the invention of the compound microscope to the Dutch spectacle maker, Zacharias Janssen, around the year 1590 (more history here). The compound microscope uses lenses and light t ...
Microscope Maintenance Tips(Page)Routine optical and mechanical maintenance of compound microscopes can ensure that your microscope works well for years. The microscope maintenance information provided below is not meant to replace ...
Clear Microscopy Images: Free of Dust & Dirt Specks(Page)If you've ever looked through a microscope and noticed dark specks on the microscopy image, chances are some part of the microscope is dirty. It can sometimes be difficult to trouble shoot exactly wh ...
