Microscopy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Microscopy mi·cros·co·py (Pronunciation[mahy-kros-kuh-pee, mahy-kruh-skoh-pee]) is the technical field of using microscopes to view samples or objects. There are three well-known branches of microscopy, optical electron and scanning probe microscopy Optical and electron microscopy involve the diffraction reflection , or refraction of electromagnetic radiation incident upon the subject of study, and the subsequent collection of this scattered radiation in order to build up an image. This process may be carried out by wide field irradiation of the sample (for example standard light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy ) or by scanning of a fine beam over the sample (for example confocal microscopy and scanning electron microscopy Scanning probe microscopy involves the interaction of a scanning probe with the surface or object of interest. The development of microscopy revolutionized biology and remains an essential tool in that science , along with many others.

Frequently Asked Questions - Mortimer Abramowitz, senior microscopist at Olympus America Inc., answers the 50 most commonly asked questions about microscopy and photomicrography. Physics of Light and Color - Visible light represents only a small portion of the entire electromagnetic spectrum of radiation that extends from high-frequency gamma rays through X-rays, ultraviolet light, infrared radiation and microwaves to very low frequency long-wavelength radio waves. The complex phenomenon of visible light is classically discussed in terms of rays and wavefronts. Starting with the nature of electromagnetic radiation, a wide variety of topics are covered in this section, including refraction, reflection, diffraction, interference, birefringence, polarization, primary colors, human vision, mirrors, prisms, beamsplitters, laser systems, geometrical optics, filtration, color temperature, and the speed of light.

Literature Light Microscopy For many biologists, the microscope belongs to the gadgets they use most. The reason is obvious: cells are the basic units of life and their size is, with only few exceptions, below the upper limit of the resolution of the human eye. Numerous statements on the refraction of light by lenses or waterfilled spheres and the resulting magnification proof, that the effects of magnification were already known in antiquity. In the 13th century, the British natural scientist ROGER BACON used segments of glass spheres as magnifying glasses and recommended them to partially sighted persons as spectacles. The grinding of lenses was perfected in the following centuries. The physician P. BORCH records, that HANS and ZACHARIAS JENSEN (father and son) from the Dutch town Middelburg invented the compound microscope at the beginning of the 17th century by placing one lens behind the other. They are regarded as the inventors of the telescope, too. Other sources name C. J. DREBBEL (1572 - 1634) from Alkmaar as the inventor of the microscope. Even if this should not be the case, he has helped a lot to make the microscope known. The term microscope was introduced by members of the Italian Accademia de Lincei (Academy of The Lynx), whose most prominent member was G. GALILEI.

Microscopy and related methods: overview; types; bright field microscopy dark field optics phase contrast oil immersion ... wet (Vaseline) mount Recommended studies: See "Lab guides" microscopy/invertebrates Light Microscopy The light microscope, so called because it employs visible light to detect small objects, is probably the most well-known and well-used research tool in biology. Yet, many students and teachers are unaware of the full range of features that are available in light microscopes. Since the cost of an instrument increases with its quality and versatility, the best instruments are, unfortunately, unavailable to most academic programs. However, even the most inexpensive "student" microscopes can provide spectacular views of nature and can enable students to perform some reasonably sophisticated experiments. A beginner tends to think that the challenge of viewing small objects lies in getting enough magnification. In fact, when it comes to looking at living things the biggest challenges are, in order, obtaining sufficient contrast finding the focal plane obtaining good resolution recognizing the subject when one sees it The smallest objects that are considered to be living are the bacteria. The smallest bacteria can be observed and cell shape recognized at a mere 100x magnification. They are invisible in bright field microscopes, though. These pages will describe types of optics that are used to obtain contrast, suggestions for finding specimens and focusing on them, and advice on using measurement devices with a light microscope.

Electron Microscopy What are Electron Microscopes? Electron Microscopes are scientific instruments that use a beam of highly energetic electrons to examine objects on a very fine scale. This examination can yield the following information: Topography The surface features of an object or "how it looks", its texture; direct relation between these features and materials properties (hardness, reflectivity...etc.) Morphology The shape and size of the particles making up the object; direct relation between these structures and materials properties (ductility, strength, reactivity...etc.) Composition The elements and compounds that the object is composed of and the relative amounts of them; direct relationship between composition and materials properties (melting point, reactivity, hardness...etc.) Crystallographic Information How the atoms are arranged in the object; direct relation between these arrangements and materials properties (conductivity, electrical properties, strength...etc.) Where did Electron Microscopes Come From?
