  2. Optical microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_microscope

    Scientist using an optical microscope in a laboratory. The optical microscope, also referred to as a light microscope, is a type of microscope that commonly uses visible light and a system of lenses to generate magnified images of small objects.

  3. 6-APA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-APA

    6-APA ((+)-6-aminopenicillanic acid) is a chemical compound used as an intermediate in the synthesis of β–lactam antibiotics. The major commercial source of 6-APA is still natural penicillin G. The semi-synthetic penicillins derived from 6-APA are also referred to as penicillins and are considered part of the penicillin family of antibiotics ...

  4. Optics and vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics_and_vision

    The metric equivalent is 6/6 vision where the distance is 6 meters. The 20/ x number does not directly relate to the eyeglass prescription required to correct vision; rather an eye exam seeks to find the prescription that will provide at least 20/20 vision.

  5. Visual pathway lesions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_pathway_lesions

    The optic tract is a continuation of the optic nerve that relays information from the optic chiasm to the ipsilateral lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), pretectal nuclei, and superior colliculus. [14] The optic tract represents the first stage in the visual pathway in which visual information is transferred in a homonymous nature. [ 15 ]

  6. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    The visual system is the physiological basis of visual perception (the ability to detect and process light).The system detects, transduces and interprets information concerning light within the visible range to construct an image and build a mental model of the surrounding environment.

  7. Optical path - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_path

    The figure shows the optical path of a Mirau-objective respectively a Mirau-interferometer. Reference beam (4 to 6) and object beam (7) have identical optical path length and can thus cause white light interference. Optical path (OP) is the trajectory that a light ray follows as it propagates through an optical medium.

  8. Telescopic sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescopic_sight

    Wire reticles are the oldest type of reticles and are made out of metal wire or thread, mounted in an optically appropriate position in the telescopic sight's tube. Etched reticles are an optic element, often a glass plate, with inked patterns etched onto it, and are mounted as an integrated part of the lightpath. When backlit through the ...

  9. Magneto-optical trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto-optical_trap

    Experimental setup of the MOT. In atomic, molecular, and optical physics, a magneto-optical trap (MOT) is an apparatus which uses laser cooling and a spatially varying magnetic field to create a trap which can produce samples of cold neutral atoms.
