In part three in a series from the OSN Technology and Equipment Workshop featured at Hawaiian Eye 2010, John Vacca, vice president and director of the specular microscope division at Tomey USA, ...

Magnification can be worked out from a photograph or drawing using the equation below: The same unit of measurement should be used when making the calculation - metre (m), millimetre (mm) or ...

When I was younger, I spent a lot of time collecting things around the house and using a microscope to examine them. While I had a lot of fun examining things, the one thing that was lacking was the ...

Effective stereo microscope selection depends on understanding application demands and the performance factors that affect 3D ...

iMicro Q2p is a new tiny phone microscope designed to be used with almost any modern smart phone whether it be Android or iOS powered, allowing you to discover a world normally hidden from view. The ...

The magnification of a microscope is not the only factor that’s important when viewing cells. The detail that can be seen is also important. Think about a digital photo. It can be enlarged, but over a ...

Fundamentally, a microscope comprises two subsystems: an illumination system to illuminate the sample and an imaging system that produces a magnified image of the light that has interacted with the ...

In 2011, while waiting for his new lab to be built at Stanford University, bioengineer Manu Prakash traveled to labs around the world, including in his home country of India. When he came across ...

Optical microscopy is a very useful technique to examine the appearance of a sample with greater detail, but there are some limitations that provide a boundary to its use in practice. Cross section of ...

Optical microscopic imaging resolution has a theoretical limit of approximately 200 nm within the visible light spectrum due to the far-field diffraction limit, which prevents the technique from being ...

Light microscopy is used to make small structures and samples visible by providing a magnified image of how they interact with visible light, e.g., their absorption, reflection and scattering. This is ...
