This page lists topics related to microscopes, including the history of microscopes, different types of microscopes, and parts of compound and stereo microscopes.
A simple microscope is the earliest type of microscope. It has only one lens and functions as a magnifying glass. Compound microscopes use two convex lenses to obtain higher magnification. The first compound microscope was invented in the early 1600s.
Microscope parts include eyepiece (10x), objective lenses (4x, 10x, 40x, 100x), fine and coarse focus, slide holder, condenser, iris diaphragm, illuminator, and specimen stage.
A microscope is an instrument to see objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. Microscopes are made up of a few lenses for magnification.
Ferns are vascular plants. Unlike other vascular plants that reproduce via seeds and flowers, ferns reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers.
A fluorescence microscope is an optical microscope that uses fluorescence instead of other light properties to generate an image.
Cytoplasmic streaming is the movement of the cytoplasm within a cell. It plays an important role in transporting essential molecules across big cells.
Have you ever seen sand under a microscope? If not, come to join us. This post showed you how to observe sand under a microscope.
Microscopy stains enhance the visualization of cells and cell parts under a light microscope. Methylene Blue, Eosin Y, Bismarck Brown Y, Janus Green B, Neutral Red, Gram’s Iodine Solution, Copper(II) sulfate, and Copper(II) acetate.
Our idea is to cover the microscope parts that each user may touch with plastic wrap. Between two users, the plastic wrap cover will be replaced to prevent potential viruses from transfer.
Carefully lower the coverslip slowly with an angle. This permits air to escape from the other side so you can make a bubble free microscope slide.
