A microscope objective lens produces a real, magnified image of an object placed within the field of view. Before it is observed the image is then magnified again by the ocular lens, also known as the ...

Researchers from the Optics Group at the Universitat Jaume I in Castellón have managed to correct in real time problems related to image aberrations in single-pixel microscopy using a recent ...

Device that could scan blood and water for pathogens combines the chip technology found in digital cameras with microfluidics, the science of channeling liquid on a tiny scale. Leslie Katz led a team ...

LASER COMPONENTS supply microscope objective lenses compatible with all major brands. The objective lens is the closest optic to the observed specimen and consist of a series of lenses in a compact ...
