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 ...

The Movable Objective Microscope ® (MOM ®) is a two-photon microscope capable of imaging deep within living specimens when combined with a Ti:Sapphire Laser. The MOM design is unique in providing ...

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 ...

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 ...

You can find objective lenses at low prices by searching online shops. For example, Mr. Niemchuk seems to have gotten the following objective lens from AliExpress. A mount adapter is required to ...

Placing colloidal spheres in the immediate proximity of fluorescent molecules makes it possible to achieve single-molecule imaging at high temperatures with a low-cost system. In an optical microscope ...

One day, filmmaker Daniel Schweinert was enjoying taking pictures with a macro lens when he suddenly wondered what would happen if he attached a microscope objective lens to a digital camera.

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 ...
