  2. Diaphragm (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    In optics, a diaphragm is a thin opaque structure with an opening at its center. The role of the diaphragm is to stop the passage of light, except for the light passing through the aperture . Thus it is also called a stop (an aperture stop , if it limits the brightness of light reaching the focal plane, or a field stop or flare stop for other ...

  3. Aperture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperture

    Different apertures of a lens In biology, the pupil (appearing as a black hole) of the eye is its aperture and the iris is its diaphragm. In humans, the pupil can constrict to as small as 2 mm (f / 8.3) and dilate to larger than 8 mm (f / 2.1) in some individuals.

  4. Condenser (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Condensers typically consist of a variable-aperture diaphragm and one or more lenses. Light from the illumination source of the microscope passes through the diaphragm and is focused by the lens(es) onto the specimen. After passing through the specimen the light diverges into an inverted cone to fill the front lens of the objective.

  5. Köhler illumination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Köhler_illumination

    In a ray diagram of the illumination light path, this can be seen as the image-forming rays passing parallel through the sample. Köhler illumination requires several optical components to function: Collector lens and/or field lens; Field diaphragm; Condenser diaphragm; Condenser lens; Schematics of Köhler illumination.

  6. Thoracic diaphragm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_diaphragm

    Structure of diaphragm shown using a 3D medical animation still shot. The thoracic diaphragm, or simply the diaphragm (/ ˈ d aɪ ə f r æ m /; [1] Ancient Greek: διάφραγμα, romanized: diáphragma, lit. 'partition'), is a sheet of internal skeletal muscle [2] in humans and other mammals that extends across the bottom of the thoracic ...

  7. Optical microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_microscope

    Diagram of a simple microscope. There are two basic types of optical microscopes: simple microscopes and compound microscopes. A simple microscope uses the optical power of a single lens or group of lenses for magnification. A compound microscope uses a system of lenses (one set enlarging the image produced by another) to achieve a much higher ...

  9. Bright-field microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bright-field_microscopy

    A bright-field microscope has many important parts including; the condenser, the objective lens, the ocular lens, the diaphragm, and the aperture. Some other pieces of the microscope that are commonly known are the arm, the head, the illuminator, the base, the stage, the adjusters, and the brightness adjuster.
