  2. Microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscopy

    Scanning electron microscope image of pollen (false colors) Microscopic examination in a biochemical laboratory. Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye (objects that are not within the resolution range of the normal eye).

  3. Microscope slide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscope_slide

    A microscope slide (top) and a cover slip (bottom) A microscope slide is a thin flat piece of glass, typically 75 by 26 mm (3 by 1 inches) and about 1 mm thick, used to hold objects for examination under a microscope. Typically the object is mounted (secured) on the slide, and then both are inserted together in the microscope for viewing. This ...

  4. 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. Optical microscopes are the oldest design of microscope and were possibly invented in their present ...

  5. Point spread function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_spread_function

    By virtue of the linearity property of optical non-coherent imaging systems, i.e., . Image(Object 1 + Object 2) = Image(Object 1) + Image(Object 2). the image of an object in a microscope or telescope as a non-coherent imaging system can be computed by expressing the object-plane field as a weighted sum of 2D impulse functions, and then expressing the image plane field as a weighted sum of the ...

  6. 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.

  7. Stereo microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereo_microscope

    The stereo microscope should not be confused with a compound microscope equipped with double eyepieces and a binoviewer. In such microscopes, both eyes see the same image, with the two eyepieces serving to provide greater viewing comfort. However, the image in those microscopes is no different from that obtained with a single monocular eyepiece.

  8. 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.

  9. Microtome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtome

    Precision-cut kidney slices refer to thin sections of the kidney tissue that are prepared using a microtome to study kidney functions, drug metabolism or disease processes. Researchers use these slices to study the impact of substances on renal function. [13] [14] This includes drug metabolism [15] [16] and the effects of toxic substances. [17]
