Microscopy
Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye (objects that are not within the resolution range of the normal eye).
Objective (optics)
Optical element that gathers light from the object being observed and focuses the light rays to produce a real image.
Optical element that gathers light from the object being observed and focuses the light rays to produce a real image.
They are used in microscopes, binoculars, telescopes, cameras, slide projectors, CD players and many other optical instruments.
Refraction
Redirection of a wave as it passes from one medium to another.
Redirection of a wave as it passes from one medium to another.
It is what optical lenses are based on, allowing for instruments such as glasses, cameras, binoculars, microscopes, and the human eye.
Histology
Histology,
Histology,
Histology is the microscopic counterpart to gross anatomy, which looks at larger structures visible without a microscope.
Eyepiece
An eyepiece, or ocular lens, is a type of lens that is attached to a variety of optical devices such as telescopes and microscopes.
Magnifying glass
Convex lens that is used to produce a magnified image of an object.
Convex lens that is used to produce a magnified image of an object.
For more convenient use or for magnification beyond about 30×, one must instead use a microscope.
Laboratory
Facility that provides controlled conditions in which scientific or technological research, experiments, and measurement may be performed.
Facility that provides controlled conditions in which scientific or technological research, experiments, and measurement may be performed.
The classical equipment includes tools such as Bunsen burners and microscopes as well as specialty equipment such as operant conditioning chambers, spectrophotometers and calorimeters.
Microscopic scale
The microscopic scale is the scale of objects and events smaller than those that can easily be seen by the naked eye, requiring a lens or microscope to see them clearly.
Naked eye
Naked eye, also called bare eye or unaided eye, is the practice of engaging in visual perception unaided by a magnifying, light-collecting optical instrument, such as a telescope or microscope, or eye protection.
Optical microscope
The optical microscope, also referred to as a light microscope, is a type of microscope that commonly uses visible light and a system of lenses to generate magnified images of small objects.
