2. Optical microscope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_microscope

   Optical microscope. The optical microscope, also referred to as a light microscope, is a type of microscope that commonly uses visible light and a system of lenses to generate magnified images of small objects. Optical microscopes are the oldest design of microscope and were possibly invented in their present compound form in the 17th century.

3. Condenser (optics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condenser_(optics)

   A condenser is an optical lens that renders a divergent light beam from a point light source into a parallel or converging beam to illuminate an object to be imaged. Condensers are an essential part of any imaging device, such as microscopes, enlargers, slide projectors, and telescopes. The concept is applicable to all kinds of radiation ...

4. Bright-field microscopy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bright-field_microscopy

   Bright-field microscopy is the simplest of a range of techniques used for illumination of samples in light microscopes, and its simplicity makes it a popular technique. The typical appearance of a bright-field microscopy image is a dark sample on a bright background, hence the name.

5. Objective (optics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective_(optics)

   In optical engineering, an objective is an optical element that gathers light from an object being observed and focuses the light rays from it to produce a real image of the object. Objectives can be a single lens or mirror, or combinations of several optical elements. They are used in microscopes, binoculars, telescopes, cameras, slide ...

6. Microscopy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscopy

   The single lens with its attachments, or the system of lenses and imaging equipment, along with the appropriate lighting equipment, sample stage, and support, makes up the basic light microscope. The most recent development is the digital microscope, which uses a CCD camera to focus on the exhibit of interest. The image is shown on a computer ...

7. Stereo microscope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereo_microscope

   Modern stereomicroscope optical design. The stereo, stereoscopic or dissecting microscope is an optical microscope variant designed for low magnification observation of a sample, typically using light reflected from the surface of an object rather than transmitted through it. The instrument uses two separate optical paths with two objectives ...
