  2. Leptospira interrogans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptospira_interrogans

    One flagellum is inserted at each end of the bacterium. The cells are thin, about 0.15 μm, and long, between 6-20 μm, with a corkscrew shaped body with spiral or hooked ends. [1] The hooked ends often resemble a question mark, and this is where the name ‘interrogans’ comes from. [12]

  3. Microscopy - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  4. Comparison microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_microscope

    A comparison microscope is a device used to analyze side-by-side specimens. It consists of two microscopes connected by an optical bridge, which results in a split view window enabling two separate objects to be viewed simultaneously. This avoids the observer having to rely on memory when comparing two objects under a conventional microscope.

  5. Staining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staining

    Light microscopes are used for viewing stained samples at high magnification, typically using bright-field or epi-fluorescence illumination. Staining is not limited to only biological materials, since it can also be used to study the structure of other materials; for example, the lamellar structures of semi-crystalline polymers or the domain ...

  6. Optical microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_microscope

    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. Optical microscopes are the oldest design of microscope and were possibly invented in their present compound form in the 17th century.

  7. Stereo microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereo_microscope

    The stereo, stereoscopic or dissecting microscope is an optical microscope variant designed for low magnification observation of a sample, typically using light reflected from the surface of an object rather than transmitted through it. The instrument uses two separate optical paths with two objectives and eyepieces to provide slightly ...

  8. Hearing the shape of a drum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_the_shape_of_a_drum

    So, the answer to Kac's question is: for many shapes, one cannot hear the shape of the drum completely. However, some information can be inferred. On the other hand, Steve Zelditch proved that the answer to Kac's question is positive if one imposes restrictions to certain convex planar regions with analytic boundary. It is not known whether two ...

  9. Striation (fatigue) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striation_(fatigue)

    Scanning electron microscope image of fatigue striations produced from constant amplitude loading. The crack is growing from left to right. Striations are marks produced on the fracture surface that show the incremental growth of a fatigue crack. A striation marks the position of the crack tip at the time it was made.
