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 ...

[Birdbrain] is trying to make their own microfluidic devices. To aid in this quest, they need a quality microscope to see what they’re doing. Instead of buying one outright, they purchased a cheap ...

The Foldscope is constructed out of greeting card paper, a watch battery, and a dirt cheap lens. But don’t be fooled, you can use it to detect more than 20 diseases. Many of the world’s most fatal and ...

Which digital microscopes are best? Whether an academic researcher or a casual hobbyist, the microscope is an essential part of nearly every scientist’s toolkit. While all microscopes let you examine ...

Small modifications to an ordinary optical microscope have helped turn it into a powerful instrument that can be used for studying complex cellular biology in real time at the nanoscale level. And ...

MR. BECK has in this little book collected and set out in elementary form a considerable amount of information useful to the microscopist. The optics of the instrument are described in a simple manner ...
