  2. Objective (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    A typical microscope has three or four objective lenses with different magnifications, screwed into a circular "nosepiece" which may be rotated to select the required lens. These lenses are often color coded for easier use. The least powerful lens is called the scanning objective lens, and is typically a 4× objective

  4. Microscopic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscopic_scale

    The microscopic scale (from Ancient Greek μικρός (mikrós) 'small' and σκοπέω (skopéō) 'to look (at); examine, inspect') is the scale of objects and events smaller than those that can easily be seen by the naked eye, requiring a lens or microscope to see them clearly. [1]

  5. Magnification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnification

    A telescope, which uses its large objective lens or primary mirror to create an image of a distant object and then allows the user to examine the image closely with a smaller eyepiece lens, thus making the object look larger. A microscope, which makes a small object appear as a much larger image at a comfortable distance for viewing. A ...

  6. Condenser (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    As with objective lenses, a condenser lens with a maximum numerical aperture of greater than 0.95 is designed to be used under oil immersion (or, more rarely, under water immersion), with a layer of immersion oil placed in contact with both the slide/coverslip and the lens of the condenser. An oil immersion condenser may typically have NA of up ...

  8. 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.

  9. Dispersion staining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_staining

    Prior to this paper these colors were thought to be the result of the microscope lenses (chromatic aberration) and not the result of the slide mounted subject and the medium in which it was mounted. In 1884 and 1895 Christian Christiansen published his data on the first analytical application of dispersion colors, the Christiansen filter .
