Ablation The controlled removal of material by vaporisation or molecular fragmentation using high energy radiation is called ablation.
Ceramic specimen A thin section of the ceramic sample is cut of (5 mm thickness). One surface is treated by a process of repeated lapping and cleaning. After drying it is mounted to the microscope slide with resin. The exposed face is now reduced to ....
Fluorescent probes Many fluorescent dyes or fluorochromes can specifically interact with certain target molecules, like most nucleic acid stains (DAPI, ...
Gout microscopy This is the maximum amount of charges (electrons) the photodiodes of a CCD chip can accommodate. It is also called well depth and usually ...
Oblique Illumination Achieving conditions necessary for oblique illumination, which has been employed to enhance specimen visibility since the dawn of microscopy, can be ...
Phase Contrast Phase contrast was introduced in the 1930's for testing of telescope mirrors, and was adapted by Zeiss laboratories into a commercial microscope several years ...
Polarised Light Microscopy The polarised light microscope is designed to observe and photograph specimens that are visible primarily due to their optically anisotropic character. In order to ...
Polymer specimen During the solidification of polymer melts there may be some organisation of the polymer chains, a process that is often dependent upon the annealing conditions. When nucleation occurs, ...
Reflected Darkfield Microscopy Darkfield illumination with reflected light enables visualisation of grain boundaries, surface defects, and other features that are difficult or impossible to detect with ...
Transmitted Darkfield Illumination Transmitted darkfield illumination can be used to increase the visibility of specimens lacking sufficient contrast for satisfactory observation and imaging by ordinary ...
