  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

  3. Ball lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lens

    In 1677, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek used a small ball lens to create a single-lens microscope with 300× magnification, allowing the first observation of spermatozoa. Ball lenses have found uses in many micro-imaging applications, ranging from electron microscopes to single-lens smart-phone microscopes to nano-microscopy.

  4. List of lens designs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lens_designs

    This list covers optical lens designs grouped by tasks or overall type. The field of optical lens designing has many variables including the function the lens or group of lenses have to perform, the limits of optical glass because of the index of refraction and dispersion properties, and design constraints including realistic lens element center and edge thicknesses, minimum and maximum air ...

  5. 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.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Optical axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_axis

    Optical axis (coincides with red ray) and rays symmetrical to optical axis (pair of blue and pair of green rays) propagating through different lenses. An optical axis is an imaginary line that passes through the geometrical center of an optical system such as a camera lens, microscope or telescopic sight. [1]

  8. 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 ...

  9. Optical resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_resolution

    The original application called for placing the chart at a distance 26 times the focal length of the imaging lens used. The bars above and to the left are in sequence, separated by approximately the square root of two (12, 17, 24, etc.), while the bars below and to the left have the same separation but a different starting point (14, 20, 28, etc.)
