  2. Condenser (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    A condenser between the stage and mirror of a vintage microscope. Condensers are located above the light source and under the sample in an upright microscope, and above the stage and below the light source in an inverted microscope. They act to gather light from the microscope's light source and concentrate it into a cone of light that ...

  3. Optical microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_microscope

    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 compound form in the 17th century.

  4. Curved mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curved_mirror

    A convex mirror diagram showing the focus, focal length, centre of curvature, principal axis, etc. A convex mirror or diverging mirror is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges towards the light source. [1] Convex mirrors reflect light outwards, therefore they are not used to focus light.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lieberkühn_reflector

    A Lieberkühn mirror from Emil Busch AG (now Rathenower Optische Werke) circa 1930, digital collection of the Deutsches Museum. [1]A Lieberkühn reflector [2] (also known as Lieberkühn mirror [3] or simply Lieberkühn [2] [4]) is an illumination device for incident light illumination (epi-illumination) in light microscopes.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror

    A mirror reflecting the image of a vase A first-surface mirror coated with aluminium and enhanced with dielectric coatings. The angle of the incident light (represented by both the light in the mirror and the shadow behind it) exactly matches the angle of reflection (the reflected light shining on the table). 4.5-metre (15 ft)-tall acoustic mirror near Kilnsea Grange, East Yorkshire, UK, from ...

  8. Objective (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Two Leica oil immersion microscope objective lenses; left 100×, right 40×. The objective lens of a microscope is the one at the bottom near the sample. At its simplest, it is a very high-powered magnifying glass, with very short focal length. This is brought very close to the specimen being examined so that the light from the specimen comes ...

    Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632–1723). The field of microscopy (optical microscopy) dates back to at least the 17th-century.Earlier microscopes, single lens magnifying glasses with limited magnification, date at least as far back as the wide spread use of lenses in eyeglasses in the 13th century [2] but more advanced compound microscopes first appeared in Europe around 1620 [3] [4] The ...
