  2. Pseudoscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoscope

    Pseudoscopic binocular microscope design by Father Cherubin d'Orleans, 1677. Before the pseudoscope itself was created intentionally, it existed in binocular instruments as an imperfection. The first binocular microscope was invented by the Capuchin friar Cherubin d'Orleans. Because his instrument consisted of two inverting systems, it produced ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_instrument

    The binocular device is a generally compact instrument for both eyes designed for mobile use. A camera could be considered a type of optical instrument, with the pinhole camera and camera obscura being very simple examples of such devices.

    Binocular Compound Lab Microscope. This compound lab microscope is fairly compact and ideal for advanced high school and college students. It features eight magnification settings up to 2,000 ...

  5. Stereoscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscope

    A typical stereoscope provides each eye with a lens that makes the image seen through it appear larger and more distant and usually also shifts its apparent horizontal position, so that for a person with normal binocular depth perception the edges of the two images seemingly fuse into one "stereo window". In current practice, the images are ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_microscope

    Diagram of a simple microscope. There are two basic types of optical microscopes: simple microscopes and compound microscopes. A simple microscope uses the optical power of a single lens or group of lenses for magnification. A compound microscope uses a system of lenses (one set enlarging the image produced by another) to achieve a much higher ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt–Pechan_prism

    Binoculars diagram showing a Schmidt–Pechan prism. A Schmidt–Pechan prism is a type of optical prism used to rotate an image by 180°. These prisms are commonly used in binoculars as an image erecting system. The Schmidt–Pechan prism makes use of a roof prism section (from the German: "Dachkante", lit. roof edge).

  8. Binoviewer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binoviewer

    In contrast to binoculars, it allows partially stereoscopic viewing and partially monocular viewing, this because the eyes and brain still process the image binocularly, as both images are produced by the same objective and do not differ except for aberrations induced by the binoviewer itself.

  9. 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 ...
