With conventional biological microscopes, special tools are needed for adjusting the components required for phase contrast observation. With the SI-PH Phase Condenser, centering of the ring aperture, ...

New work enables optical microscopes to measure these nanometer-scale details with a new level of accuracy. Over the last two decades, scientists have discovered that the optical microscope can be ...

Infrared microscopy involves the examination of small samples, usually within the 10 to 100 μm range. Spatial resolution becomes a significant concern on the scale. The infrared light's relatively ...

Hey folks! I figured this would be best in the observatory. I'm relearning how to use microscopes and learning for the first time how to really use them more effectively, so that I can show my ...

Over the last two decades, scientists have discovered that the optical microscope can be used to detect, track and image objects much smaller than their traditional limit--about half the wavelength of ...
