Optical Microscopy

The details of optical microscopy can be found in the well known work by Davidson and Abramowitz[1][2] as well as in Olympus[3] and Nikon Microscopy U[4].

The basics parts of a Microscope are illustrated in the figure below:

basic parts of a Microscope[5]


These days microscopes are equipped with more and more advanced CCD digital cameras, which has revolutionized the image caption, interpretation and manipulation. Also, improved designed objective lenses, new light sources, and motorized stages have taken digital microscopy to levels of image quality not found even 10 years ago. Still, microscope optics physics is the same, so the same basic elements have to be considered when choosing the right microscopy for the task at hand[6]

  • Light Source
  • Condenser
  • Objective
  • Filters
  • Eye pieces
  • Stage
  • Stand

Fluorescent Microscopy

Main article: Fluorescent Microscopy

Describe the technology, particularly including why you might use it over another within the same group.

Infrared Microscopy

Main article: Infrared microscopy

Here's another technology in that group.

Figures of Merit

  • Resolution
  • Depth of Field
  • Image mode
  • Magnification
  • Sharpness
  • Numerical Aperture
  • Contrast
  • Light source

Applications

Cell biology, microfabrication, geology, crystallography, etc.
