Over on YouTube [Applied Science] shows us how to make an f/0.38 camera lens using an oil immersion microscope objective. The f-number of a lens indicates how well it will perform in low-light. To ...

A microscope objective lens produces a real, magnified image of an object placed within the field of view. Before it is observed the image is then magnified again by the ocular lens, also known as the ...

Zooming in: image of mouse embryo. (Courtesy: Gail McConnell/University of Strathclyde) A new microscope lens that offers the unique combination of a large field of view with high resolution has been ...

Scientists have developed the first flat lens for immersion microscopy. This lens, which can be designed for any liquid, may provide a cost-effective and easy-to-manufacture alternative to the ...

Dr. Brown is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physiology at McGill University, where she uses advanced light microscopy methods to study the molecular mechanisms regulating cell adhesion ...

Smaller and more versatile laser confocal microscopy platforms would potentially be of great value for in vivo imaging of live biological specimens, in scenarios where the size of conventional ...

The little picture: Microscopes are cool. There is something fascinating about looking at objects that you cannot normally see with your naked eye. Of course, carrying a microscope around for whenever ...

A global leader in agricultural genetics sought durable, economical UV microscope objectives. Issues in meeting these objectives included optical design complexity, wavefront control, and fabrication ...
