• Everything About Microscope Eyepieces

  You might wonder what is the function of the eyepiece on a microscope, and its simply part of the optics that magnify the object you are trying to view. The two main parts of the optical system in a microscope are the eyepiece and objective. In this article we review everything about microscope eyepieces.

• What is Immersion Oil and Why is it Used?

  Oil immersion microscopy is a technique used in modern microscopy to increase the resolution and clarity of microscopic images. It involves using a special type of oil to fill the gap between the microscope objective lens and the microscope slide. This process improves the light gathering ability of the microscope, allowing for sharper images and more accurate measurements.

• What is a Microscope?

  Let’s review the basics of any microscope based upon light, and the types such as compound, stereo, biological, metallurgical, fluorescence, inverted, and more. A optical microscope is one that utilizes light to view a specimen, but there are many ways to utilize light in different configurations for the desired application, such as biology, scientific, or inspection. There are other types of non-light based microscopes such as electron microscopes that allow you to get further down to smallerFew readers

Pocket Microscopes

• How to Use and Focus a Pocket Microscope

  It's very important with a pocket microscope that you put the object flat against the base, and you focus it properly. Start Flat Lowest Zoom Focus Slowly Let's go over each one: 1. Start Flat - It's easiest to learn how to focus properly when you are resting on a flat surface like a table or desk. An object can NOT be inside the clear base OR too far away from the bottom of the base. Objects must be flush with the bottom of the microscope to work. 2. Lowest Zoom - OSome readers

• Why is My Image Upside Down?

  Most optics, such as microscopes or telescopes may have an image that is upside down and backwards. In optics, this is the standard and is completely normal - the microscope is not broken. This is due to the nature of the optics itself. All pocket microscopes are like this as well as most reflector telescopes. The reason is that most applications don't require the additional expensive optics to correct the image. Images could be corrected with prisms or other systems, but it dramaticalFew readers
