New research from Portland State University focused on identifying signs of life—biosignatures—in extreme environments here ...

But there’s enough for us to get a good idea of how they work. Stereo microscopes use one of two optical designs — the Common Main Objective (CMO) optical system and the Greenough optical system.

We study and develop optical microscopes that help biologists and engineers address ... and quantifying the optical path length distributions of transparent objects. To explore these topics, we ...

Optical microscopes depend on light, of course, but they are also limited by that same light. Typically, anything under 200 nanometers just blurs together because of the wavelength of the light ...

The optical light microscope MeF4M is used for examination of flat surfaces and for examination of materiallographic and metallographic sections. This research into the microstructure of materials. In ...

Because of the trinocular-type camera port and a built-in 0.55× C-mount adapter, the microscope allows direct mounting of any Nikon DS Series digital camera. An optical path switching lever ...

Late 1600s – Dutch scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek constructed a microscope with a single spherical lens. It magnified up to ×275. 1800s - the optical quality of lenses increased and the ...
