  2. Dual speed focuser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_speed_focuser

    The fine focusing knob connects to the input axle while the fast focusing knob connects to the holder shelf. On the other side, the axle from the Crayford focuser is connected to the holder shelf. When one rotates the fine focusing knob, the three balls are driven by the input axle and rotate along the inner circumference of the case at a ...

  3. Optical microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_microscope

    Adjustment knobs move the stage up and down with separate adjustment for coarse and fine focusing. The same controls enable the microscope to adjust to specimens of different thickness. In older designs of microscopes, the focus adjustment wheels move the microscope tube up or down relative to the stand and had a fixed stage. [citation needed]

  4. Condenser (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    The focus of the first lens is traditionally about 2mm away from the plane face coinciding with the sample plane. A pinhole cap can be used to align the optical axis of the condenser with that of the microscope. The Abbe condenser is still the basis for most modern light microscope condenser designs, even though its optical performance is poor.

  5. Control knob - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_knob

    Two control knobs for a heating/cooling system. The left knob controls the temperature while the right controls the fan speed. A control knob is a rotary device used to provide manual input adjustments to a mechanical/electrical system when grasped and turned by a human operator, so that differing extent of knob rotation corresponds to different desired input.

  6. Parfocal lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parfocal_lens

    Many zoom lenses, particularly in the case of fixed-lens cameras, are actually varifocal lenses, which gives lens designers more flexibility in optical design trade-offs (e.g., focal length range, maximal aperture, size, weight, cost) than parfocal zoom, which is practical because of auto-focus, and because the camera processor can ...

  7. Traveling microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling_microscope

    A traveling microscope. E—eyepiece, O—objective, K—knob for focusing, V—vernier, R—rails, S—screw for fine position adjustment. A travelling microscope is an instrument for measuring length with a resolution typically in the order of 0.01mm.

  8. Instrument myopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_myopia

    A microscope might force the person to use only one eye, it presents the person with a limited field of view, it presents a magnified view, and it allows the person to adjust the focus of the instrument for any viewing distance. Ideally, the person will choose a focus adjustment on the instrument that allows the eyes to have relaxed ...

  9. Catadioptric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catadioptric_system

    Léon Foucault developed a catadioptric microscope in 1859 to counteract aberrations of using a lens to image objects at high power. [2] In 1876 a French engineer, A. Mangin, invented what has come to be called the Mangin mirror, a concave glass reflector with the silver surface on the rear side of the glass. The two surfaces of the reflector ...
