The Concept of Magnification Magnification of the Microscope • MMicroscope = MObjective X M EyepieceX MIntermediate Factor M = Magnification • Example: Objective = 60 x Eyepiece = 10 x Intermediate Factor = 1 x Overall M = 600 x
Resolution • Resolving power, the limit up to which two small objects are still seen separately.

Differences between light and stereomicroscopy • Stereomicroscopy : Two Identical Objectives with axes - Including a small angle ( Greenough Concept ) - Parallel share a common Objective ( Telescope Concept ) - Stereo Imaging Obtain - Longer Working Distance - Low Magnification - Huge Samples - Specimen Prepare Tools • Light Microscopy : ( Upright / Inverted ) Single Objective with axis - Infinity Optics Design - Wide range of Observation - Short working Distance - High Magnification - Thin and small Specimen

Bright Field Hemlock Leaf • Bright Field is the most universal technique used in light microscope. • Usually used in samples with colorimetric staining or good contrast.
光軸中心點校正 • 選擇明視野位置, 使用10X 物鏡將樣品對焦 • 將視野光圈關到最小 • 上下移動聚光鏡使八角型邊緣清晰
判斷中心位置偏離方向,利用聚光鏡中心校正桿將調整至中心位置判斷中心位置偏離方向,利用聚光鏡中心校正桿將調整至中心位置 • 將光圈慢慢放大,最後全開以覆蓋全視野大小
Fine structures can often not be seen in front of a bright background. Dark Field
Hoffman Modulation Contrast D : dark, 1% transmittance G : gray, 15% transmittance B : bright, 100% transmittance
Increase visibility and contrast in unstained and living material by detecting optical gradients (or slopes) and converting them into variations of light intensity. Diatoms
