Description: The MCL-MANNZ is an integrated micro-positioner and piezo nanopositioning system for use with inverted optical microscopes. Easy to operate and affordable, the MCL-MANNZ combines a manual ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists have developed a custom microscope to image microbes in soil and plants at the micrometer scale. Live imaging of microbes in soil would help ...

THE usual method of measuring the dimensions of microscopic objects is to compare them against an eye-piece scale or to use a calibrated filar micrometer eye-piece. Such methods are not capable of ...

Usually, catalytic reactions are analyzed by checking which chemicals go into a chemical reactor and which come out. But as it turns out, in order to properly understand and optimize catalysts, much ...

Place a stage micrometer on the microscope stage, and using the lowest magnification (4X), focus on the grid of the stage micrometer. Rotate the ocular micrometer by turning the appropriate eyepiece.

This lesson describes how the eyepiece graticule and stage micrometer are used to measure the size of an object with an optical microscope. The PowerPoint and accompanying resource have been designed ...

Raman spectroscopy, unlike infrared, reaches sub-micrometer resolution but is hindered by weak signals and fluorescence ...

Give your students hands-on microscopy skills without the lab. This resource pairs a free interactive light microscope simulator with a structured worksheet that walks students through calibration, ...

Calibration is the process of adjusting and verifying that an instrument, for example, an optical microscope, is taking measurements accurately by comparing them to a known measurement standard or ...
