  2. Microscopic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscopic_scale

    The shape and texture in each individual grain is made visible through the microscope. [7] As the microscopic scale covers any object that cannot be seen by the naked eye, yet is visible under a microscope, the range of objects that fall under this scale can be as small as an atom, visible underneath a transmission electron microscope. [8]

  3. Traveling microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling_microscope

    The precision is such that better-quality instruments have measuring scales made from Invar to avoid misreadings due to thermal effects. The instrument comprises a microscope mounted on two rails fixed to, or part of a very rigid bed. The position of the microscope can be varied coarsely by sliding along the rails, or finely by turning a screw.

  4. Scanning tunneling microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_tunneling_microscope

    Image of reconstruction on a clean surface of gold. A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is a type of scanning probe microscope used for imaging surfaces at the atomic level. . Its development in 1981 earned its inventors, Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer, then at IBM Zürich, the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscopy

    Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632–1723). The field of microscopy (optical microscopy) dates back to at least the 17th-century.Earlier microscopes, single lens magnifying glasses with limited magnification, date at least as far back as the wide spread use of lenses in eyeglasses in the 13th century [2] but more advanced compound microscopes first appeared in Europe around 1620 [3] [4] The ...

  6. Ocular micrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_micrometer

    Ocular micrometer Micrometer Eyepiece. An ocular micrometer or eyepiece micrometer is a glass disk, engraved with a ruled scale, that fits in an eyepiece of a microscope, [1] [2] which is used to measure the size of microscopic objects through magnification under a microscope.

  7. Microscope (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscope_(disambiguation)

    A microscope is an instrument used to see objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. Types of microscope include: Optical microscope; Stereo microscope; Digital microscope. USB microscope; Electron microscope. Scanning electron microscope; Microscope may also refer to:

  8. Fluorescence microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence_microscope

    [1] [2] A fluorescence microscope is any microscope that uses fluorescence to generate an image, whether it is a simple set up like an epifluorescence microscope or a more complicated design such as a confocal microscope, which uses optical sectioning to get better resolution of the fluorescence image. [3]

  9. List of measuring instruments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_measuring_instruments

    A pair of scales: An instrument for measuring mass in a force field by balancing forces. Balance; Check weigher measures precise weight of items in a conveyor line, rejecting underweight or overweight objects. Inertial balance; Katharometer; Mass spectrometers measure the mass-to-charge ratio, not the mass, of ionised particles. Weighing scale
