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 ...

Neuroscientists have developed innovative objectives for light microscopy by using mirrors to produce images. Their design finds correspondence in mirror telescopes used in astronomy on the one hand ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

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 ...

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 ...

The image shows a 6 mm long, 12.5 day old mouse embryo obtained with the Mesolens. The inset shows a blow-up of the eye region revealing the individual cell nuclei. It is possible to identify fine ...

Classic design: the Schmidt objective produces detailed images of neurons in a mouse brain. (Courtesy: Anna Maria Reuss (USZ) & Fabian Voigt (UZH)) Researchers in Switzerland have built what they ...

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 ...

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 ...
