Phrases 25
- electron microscopesplural of electron microscope: Any of several forms of microscope that use a beam of electrons, rather than one of light, and thus has a much greater resolving power.
- light microscopesplural of light microscope: A scientific instrument which provides a magnified view of very small objects that are illuminated with visible light which then passes through optical lenses.
- optical microscopesplural of optical microscope: A scientific instrument which provides a magnified view of very small objects that are illuminated with visible light which then passes through optical lenses.
- scanning electron microscopesplural of scanning electron microscope: An electron microscope whose image is made up of a matrix of points from scanning the surface of a sample.
- compound microscopesplural of compound microscope: A microscope with more than one lens, arranged so that the image formed by one lens is further magnified by another.
- fluorescence microscopesplural of fluorescence microscope: A microscope that uses fluorescence to form an image
- interference microscopesplural of interference microscope: An instrument used to study the differences in the phase of light transmitted through a specimen.
- projection microscopesplural of projection microscope: A type of microscope designed to cast magnified images onto a wall or screen for an audience, rather than for use by a single observer at an eyepiece.
- reflecting microscopesplural of reflecting microscope: a microscope whose objective is composed of two mirrors, one convex and the other concave; it is free of chromatic aberration
- simple microscopesplural of simple microscope: A microscope with only one lens.
- solar microscopesplural of solar microscope: An apparatus for projecting upon a screen, by means of sunlight, an enlarged view of any object; essentially the same as the combination of lenses used in the magic lantern, taken in conjunction with a heliostat.
- stereo microscopesplural of stereo microscope: a microscope with two eyepieces, used for observing stereoscopic images
- dissecting microscopesplural of dissecting microscope: a microscope with two eyepieces, used for observing stereoscopic images
- atomic force microscopesplural of atomic force microscope: A device used to map the atomic structure of a surface by measuring the force acting on the very fine tip of a wire moved over the surface
- field emission microscopesplural of field emission microscope: the instrument used in field emission microscopy
- phase contrast microscopesplural of phase contrast microscope: A microscope that uses the change of phase when light is transmitted or reflected from a transparent or reflective specimen to form an image; used especially to study living cells.
- scanning tunneling microscopesplural of scanning tunneling microscope: A device used to form an image of the surface of a conductor or semiconductor with atomic resolution.
- transmission electron microscopesplural of transmission electron microscope: A form of electron microscope in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through a thin layer of sample.
- X-ray microscopesplural of X-ray microscope: A device that uses soft X-rays to produce images of very small objects.
- scanning transmission electron microscopesplural of scanning transmission electron microscope: An electron microscope that transmits a very narrow beam of electrons through a sample; it can detect individual large or heavy atoms.
- stimulated emission depletion microscopesplural of stimulated emission depletion microscope: A scanning laser microscope that uses a short excitation pulse followed by a depletion pulse tuned to an emission line of a fluorescent dye
- petrographic microscopesplural of petrographic microscope: An optical microscope used in petrography to view thin sections of rocks and minerals.
- epifluorescence microscopesplural of epifluorescence microscope: An optical microscope designed to study properties of organic or inorganic substances using the phenomena of fluorescence and phosphorescence instead of transmitted light.
- monochromated scanning transmission electron microscopesplural of monochromated scanning transmission electron microscope: A scanning transmission electron microscope that is able to focus electrons to a probe of about 0.14 nm and thus distinguish individual atoms.
- oxyhydrogen microscopesplural of oxyhydrogen microscope: A 19th‑century projection microscope that used an intensely bright oxyhydrogen flame to throw greatly magnified images of microscopic specimens onto a screen for audiences.
