    Scanning electron microscope image of pollen (false colors) Microscopic examination in a biochemical laboratory. Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye (objects that are not within the resolution range of the normal eye). [1]

  3. Optical microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_microscope

    Scientist using an optical microscope in a laboratory. 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 ...

    a microscope associated apparatus used for manual counting of cells in body fluids like blood, etc. including for sperm count: Wintrobe's tube: used for ESR (Wintrobe's method), PCV, haematocrit, etc. Westergren's tube and ESR stand: used for ESR (Westergren's method)

  5. Microscope slide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscope_slide

    A microscope slide (top) and a cover slip (bottom) A microscope slide is a thin flat piece of glass, typically 75 by 26 mm (3 by 1 inches) and about 1 mm thick, used to hold objects for examination under a microscope. Typically the object is mounted (secured) on the slide, and then both are inserted together in the microscope for viewing. This ...

  6. Scanning transmission electron microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_transmission...

    A scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) is a type of transmission electron microscope (TEM). Pronunciation is [stɛm] or [ɛsti:i:ɛm]. As with a conventional transmission electron microscope (CTEM), images are formed by electrons passing through a sufficiently thin specimen. However, unlike CTEM, in STEM the electron beam is focused ...

  7. Raman microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raman_microscope

    The Raman microscope is a laser-based microscopic device used to perform Raman spectroscopy. [1] The term MOLE (molecular optics laser examiner) is used to refer to the Raman-based microprobe. [ 1 ] The technique used is named after C. V. Raman , who discovered the scattering properties in liquids.

    Microscope: to observe microscopic specimens that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Microtitre plates: mostly used for ELISA: Microtome: cuts prepared specimens for analysis under microscope Nichrome wire loop: used to inoculate test samples into culture media for bacterial or fungal cultures, antibiograms, etc.; sterilized by flaming to red hot ...

  9. Comparison microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_microscope

    A comparison microscope is a device used to analyze side-by-side specimens. It consists of two microscopes connected by an optical bridge, which results in a split view window enabling two separate objects to be viewed simultaneously. This avoids the observer having to rely on memory when comparing two objects under a conventional microscope.
