  2. Objective (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective_(optics)

    These lenses are often color coded for easier use. The least powerful lens is called the scanning objective lens, and is typically a 4× objective. The second lens is referred to as the small objective lens and is typically a 10× lens. The most powerful lens out of the three is referred to as the large objective lens and is typically 40–100×.

  3. High-power field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-power_field

    The area provides a reference unit, for example in reference ranges for urine tests. [3]Used for grading of soft tissue tumors: Grading, usually on a scale of I to III, is based on the degree of differentiation, the average number of mitoses per high-power field, cellularity, pleomorphism, and an estimate of the extent of necrosis (presumably a reflection of rate of growth).

  4. Optical microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_microscope

    A 40x magnification image of cells in a medical smear test taken through an optical microscope using a wet mount technique, placing the specimen on a glass slide and mixing with a salt solution. Optical microscopy is used extensively in microelectronics, nanophysics, biotechnology, pharmaceutic research, mineralogy and microbiology. [28]

  5. Magnification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnification

    Stepwise magnification by 6% per frame into a 39-megapixel image. In the final frame, at about 170x, an image of a bystander is seen reflected in the man's cornea. Magnification is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something. This enlargement is quantified by a size ratio called optical magnification.

  7. Numerical aperture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_aperture

    In microscopy, NA is important because it indicates the resolving power of a lens. The size of the finest detail that can be resolved (the resolution) is proportional to ⁠ λ / 2NA ⁠, where λ is the wavelength of the light. A lens with a larger numerical aperture will be able to visualize finer details than a lens with a smaller numerical ...

  8. Operating microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_microscope

    Design features of an operating microscope are: magnification typically in the range from 4x-40x, components that are easy to sterilize or disinfect in order to ensure cross-infection control. There is often a prism that allows splitting of the light beam in order that assistants may also visualize the procedure or to allow photography or video ...

    The magnification of such a telescope is given by M = f 2 f 1 , {\displaystyle M={\frac {f_{2}}{f_{1}}},} Afocal systems are used in laser optics, for instance as beam expanders , Infrared and forward looking infrared systems, camera zoom lenses and telescopic lens attachments such as teleside converters , [ 3 ] and photography setups combining ...
