What is Polarizing Microscope? A polarizing microscope is an optical microscope that allows one to see birefringent materials—materials that give off two rays of light moving at varying speeds and indices of refraction—and contains certain added components for enhanced viewing contrast and more precise structural detail. As for the components of the microscope procedure that … Read more

What is transmission electron microscope? A transmission electron microscope (TEM) is an electron microscope that transmits electrons through a sample to observe it. Scientists use transmission electron microscopes to analyze materials and examine their microstructural and compositional properties. A transmission electron microscope transmits a highly focused beam of electrons through a sample to observe and … Read more

This reflects the seemingly marvelous developments that have occurred from the history of microbiology to the present day. Advances in technology and subsequent research in the field over the years have meant that once we learned how to study these tiny creatures, we only grew in appreciation for these vital little agents. But in 1590, … Read more

What is Inverted Fluorescent Microscope? Ever peeked into the world of living cells? Scientists use a nifty tool called an inverted fluorescent microscope for this. Unlike regular microscopes, this one flips the script—literally. Imagine the lenses sitting above the sample and the light source shining from below. This upside-down setup makes it perfect for studying cells chilling at the bottom … Read more

Microscopes have been around for the ages. Roman philosophers had mentioned “burning glass” within their works. However, the first microscope of this type was not invented until the 1300’s. Two lenses were set on opposite sides of the tube. This tube of magnifying power was the basis for our modern-day microscope.

Digital microscopes are modern microscope which does not have an eyepiece. This is a huge contrast from an optical microscope. Digital microscopes have an electronic camera that acts as the detector as well as the imaging output gadget. It displays the images takes place via a computer’s screen or monitor, which defines the scope of the microscope’s digital.

The oil immersion method enhances the resolving power of a microscope, enabling light microscopy to distinguish finer details. Immersion oil—clear and colorless, having a refractive index of about 1.515—is placed in between the lens and the specimen. The refractive index is higher; therefore, less light is refracted. If less light is refracted, then less is … Read more
