  2. Electron microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_microscope

    Electron microscope. An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of electrons as a source of illumination. They use electron optics that are analogous to the glass lenses of an optical light microscope to control the electron beam, for instance focusing them to produce magnified images or electron diffraction patterns.

  3. Fluorescence microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence_microscope

    A fluorescence microscope is an optical microscope that uses fluorescence instead of, or in addition to, scattering, reflection, and attenuation or absorption, to study the properties of organic or inorganic substances. [1] [2] "Fluorescence microscope" refers to any microscope that uses fluorescence to generate an image, whether it is a simple ...

  4. Confocal microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confocal_microscopy

    Confocal microscopy. Confocal microscopy, most frequently confocal laser scanning microscopy ( CLSM) or laser scanning confocal microscopy ( LSCM ), is an optical imaging technique for increasing optical resolution and contrast of a micrograph by means of using a spatial pinhole to block out-of-focus light in image formation. [1]

  5. Microscope slide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscope_slide

    Microscope slide. A set of standard 75 by 25 mm microscope slides. The white area can be written on to label the slide. A microscope slide is a thin flat piece of glass, typically 75 by 26 mm (3 by 1 inches) and about 1 mm thick, used to hold objects for examination under a microscope. Typically the object is mounted (secured) on the slide, and ...

  6. Phase-contrast microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-contrast_microscopy

    Phase-contrast microscopy (PCM) is an optical microscopy technique that converts phase shifts in light passing through a transparent specimen to brightness changes in the image. Phase shifts themselves are invisible, but become visible when shown as brightness variations. When light waves travel through a medium other than a vacuum, interaction ...

  7. Scanning probe microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_probe_microscopy

    v. t. e. Scanning probe microscopy ( SPM) is a branch of microscopy that forms images of surfaces using a physical probe that scans the specimen. SPM was founded in 1981, with the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope, an instrument for imaging surfaces at the atomic level. The first successful scanning tunneling microscope experiment ...

  8. Digital microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_microscope

    Digital microscope. An insect observed with a digital microscope. Entomologist using a digital microscope to magnify a miniature insect. A digital microscope is a variation of a traditional optical microscope that uses optics and a digital camera to output an image to a monitor, sometimes by means of software running on a computer.

  9. Condenser (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    A condenser (right) and its respective diaphragm (left) A condenser is an optical lens that renders a divergent light beam from a point light source into a parallel or converging beam to illuminate an object to be imaged. Condensers are an essential part of any imaging device, such as microscopes, enlargers, slide projectors, and telescopes.
