A British nanotech invention has revolutionized the humble optical microscope by quadrupling its magnification power to a level far beyond what could previously be achieved with visible light. The new ...
Most animal cells range in size from 10 - 50 μm, and plant cells from 10 - 100 μm. The human eye can see objects as small as 50 μm. We require a microscope to see cells in further detail. The ...
You can find objective lenses at low prices by searching online shops. For example, Mr. Niemchuk seems to have gotten the following objective lens from AliExpress. A mount adapter is required to ...
The magnification (or power) you will see through a given optical system depends on the telescope and the eyepiece. The simple formula is: Magnification = Focal length of telescope ÷ focal length of ...
Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force microscope, then we look at a real AFM (an nGauge AFM from ICSPI) and do a few ...
