The examination of structure at the microscopic scale, between micrometers and angstrom units, has changed dramatically in recent decades. Many new types of microscopy have emerged, notably the many ...
There are two types of microscopes available: simple and compound microscopes. A simple microscope is equipped with one lens but a compound microscope has both an eyepiece and an objective lens.
For human researchers, it takes many years of work to discover new super-resolution microscopy techniques. The number of possible optical configurations of a microscope -- for example, where to place ...
Microscope stages are platforms where specimens are placed for observation with a microscope. They are often equipped with a mechanical device which holds the specimen slide in place, but allows the ...
Science presenter Jon Chase describes three different types of microscope. He explains how a light microscope works, and takes a look at sperm, red and white blood cells, and the surface of a leaf.
Transmission electron microscopy is a general type of electron microscopy that generates an image of the internal structure of a thin sample using a beam of electrons to achieve much higher ...
But simultaneous experiments using another type of microscopy, which visualizes lipids directly, showed no such thing. In fact, coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy identified ...
