  2. Rhizopus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizopus

    Rhizopus 400x magnification. Rhizopus species grow as filamentous, branching hyphae that generally lack cross-walls (i.e., they are coenocytic). They reproduce by forming asexual and sexual spores. In asexual reproduction, spores are produced inside a spherical structure, the sporangium.

  3. Spirogyra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirogyra

    Spirogyra (common names include water silk, mermaid's tresses, and blanket weed) is a genus of filamentous charophyte green algae of the order Zygnematales, named for the helical or spiral arrangement of the chloroplasts that is characteristic of the genus. Spirogyra species, of which there are more than 500, are commonly found in freshwater ...

  4. Condenser (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Abbe condensers are difficult to use for magnifications of above 400X, as the aplanatic cone is only representative of a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.6. This condenser is composed of two lenses, a plano-convex lens somewhat larger than a hemisphere and a large bi-convex lens serving as a collecting lens to the first.

  5. Optical microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_microscope

    A simple microscope uses a lens or set of lenses to enlarge an object through angular magnification alone, giving the viewer an erect enlarged virtual image. [1] [2] The use of a single convex lens or groups of lenses are found in simple magnification devices such as the magnifying glass, loupes, and eyepieces for telescopes and microscopes.

  6. Dark-field microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark-field_microscopy

    While the dark-field image may first appear to be a negative of the bright-field image, different effects are visible in each. In bright-field microscopy, features are visible where either a shadow is cast on the surface by the incident light or a part of the surface is less reflective, possibly by the presence of pits or scratches.

  7. Biomagnification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomagnification

    Biomagnification, also known as bioamplification or biological magnification, is the increase in concentration of a substance, e.g a pesticide, in the tissues of organisms at successively higher levels in a food chain. [1] This increase can occur as a result of: Persistence – where the substance cannot be broken down by environmental processes.

    They sell a digital camera for ~US$230 that attaches to any regular microscope, or have dedicated digital ones for ~$270 (40x max). If you want a higher magnification than that, you need to go into the $1000+ range. -- 174.21.224.109 06:56, 29 January 2010 (UTC) Since when are dry optical microscopes limited to under 400x?

  9. Telecentric lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecentric_lens

    Bi-telecentric lens with 208 mm diameter front element and a C-mount camera interface 3D render simulating a photo taken with a fixed focal length and a telecentric lens. A telecentric lens is a special optical lens (often an objective lens or a camera lens) that has its entrance or exit pupil, or both, at infinity.
