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:
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:
- Light Source
- Condenser
- Objective
- Filters
- Eye pieces
- Stage
- Stand
Fluorescent Microscopy
Describe the technology, particularly including why you might use it over another within the same group.
Infrared Microscopy
Here's another technology in that group.
Figures of Merit
- Magnification
- Sharpness
- Numerical Aperture
- Contrast
- light source
