The document discusses the dark field microscope, which was invented in 1830 by J.J. Lister. It describes how a dark field microscope works by placing an opaque disc under the condenser lens so that only light scattered by objects on the slide reaches the eye. This causes pigmented objects to appear in false colors. Some uses of the dark field microscope include examining unstained cells and samples in pond water or prepared slides, as well as determining mobility in cultures. While it produces beautiful images, it also has some disadvantages.
The document provides an overview of microscopy through a seminar presentation. It defines microscopy, discusses the history and properties including magnification, resolution, and contrast. It describes the main parts of a microscope and different types such as brightfield, darkfield, phase contrast, fluorescence, confocal, transmission electron, scanning electron, scanning tunneling, and inverted microscopes. Applications of each microscope type are also outlined.

FLUORESCENT MICROSCOPE
When a substance absorbs light, the electrons present at the outermost orbit absorbs
energy and get excited; on the way back to the ground state, it emits a part of the energy
absorbed. This phenomenon is termed as fluorescence.Fluorescent microscopeinvolves
staining of specimens with special fluorescent dyes (fluorescein, acridine orange, etc).
When a fluorescent dye is applied to a substance, it absorbs a wavelength of light
(excitation wavelength) and emits light of different wavelength (emission wavelength).

In the late 16th century several Dutch lens makers designed devices that magnified objects, but in 1609 Galileo Galilei perfected the first device known as a microscope. Dutch spectacle makers Zaccharias Janssen and Hans Lipperhey are noted as the first men to develop the concept of the compound microscope.
Darkfield (dark ground) microscopy is a simple and popular method for making unstained transparent specimens clearly visible. Such objects often have refractive indices very close in value to that of their surroundings and are difficult to image in conventional brightfield microscopy. For example, many small aquatic organisms have a refractive index ranging from 1.2 to 1.4, resulting in a negligible optical difference from the surrounding aqueous medium. These are ideal candidates for darkfield illumination.

3. Microscope simple, compound & stereo - BasicsNethravathi Siri
A simple microscope uses a single lens to magnify objects and forms a virtual image. It provides low magnification and is used to examine things like skin, algae, and soil samples.
A compound microscope has two lens systems that provide higher magnification by compounding the magnification of the objective and eyepiece lenses. It allows detailed examination of stained slides and is commonly used in biology labs and medical diagnostics.
A stereo microscope uses two separate optical paths and lens systems to provide a three-dimensional view of surfaces. It has lower magnification than compound microscopes and is used for examining things like insects and circuit boards.
This document provides an introduction to phase contrast microscopy and fluorescent microscopy. It discusses that phase contrast microscopy, developed in 1934, uses optical techniques to produce high-contrast images of transparent samples like living cells. It works by converting differences in refractive index to intensity differences visible to the eye. Fluorescent microscopy illuminates samples with high-energy light, causing fluorophores to emit lower-energy light, which can then be filtered and observed. Both techniques allow viewing of unstained, living samples like cells in more detail.
Dark-field microscopy is used to illuminate unstained samples causing them to appear bright against a dark background. This type of microscope contains a special condenser having a central blacked-out area.
The document discusses different units of measurement used in the metric system to express the sizes of microorganisms, including the meter, decimeter, centimeter, millimeter, micrometer, and nanometer. It then describes different types of microscopes used to observe tiny objects, including simple microscopes with one lens, compound microscopes with more than one lens, and electron microscopes which use an electron beam. Compound microscopes are often used to observe microorganisms and cells at magnifications of up to 1000 times smaller than what can be seen with the naked eye.
Dark field microscopy is a technique that allows samples to appear brightly lit against a dark background. It works by blocking the transmitted light and only allowing oblique rays to illuminate the specimen. This allows largely transparent and unstained samples to be visible. The document discusses how dark field microscopy works, some inexpensive alternatives to expensive equipment, applications like viewing bacteria and minerals, and advantages like being able to see unstained samples clearly. However, it also has disadvantages like being prone to distortions and requiring careful sample preparation. Evidence is presented for its use in research to image things like functionalized gold nanoparticles targeting cancer cells.
Confocal microscopy provides high-resolution images with better contrast compared to widefield microscopy. It uses point illumination and a pinhole to eliminate out-of-focus light. A laser excites fluorescence in the sample, which is detected through the pinhole to build up an image point-by-point. By collecting optical sections at different depths, confocal microscopy can generate 3D reconstructions and analyze thick samples without physical sectioning. It finds applications in cell and developmental biology.
Phase Contrast Microscopy - Microbiology 1st RAHUL PAL
Phase contrast microscopy uses differences in phase shifts of light waves passing through a specimen to visualize unstained living cells. It allows biologists to study living cells and cell division. Dark field microscopy produces a dark background and bright specimen image using oblique illumination. It is used to view unstained or little absorbed objects like bacteria, algae, and diatoms. Electron microscopy uses a beam of accelerated electrons instead of light for higher resolution imaging of nano-scale structures. Types include analytical electron microscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy.
This document discusses dark field microscopy. It begins by defining dark field microscopy as a technique that produces bright objects against a dark background without using stains. This is achieved through a condenser that blocks light from entering the objective lens directly, allowing only light scattered from the specimen to pass through. Applications of dark field microscopy include viewing unstained samples like microorganisms, cells, and fibers. Advantages are its ability to examine transparent specimens, while disadvantages include sensitivity to dust or bubbles. Recent developments include using smartphone microscopy with LEDs for portable dark field imaging of nanoparticles.
This document discusses phase contrast microscopy. It begins by defining a microscope and microscopy. It then describes the main types of microscopes, including optical, electron, and scanning probe microscopes. It focuses on the light microscope, explaining that it uses visible light and is commonly used in biology to view structures like cells. It defines magnification and resolution. It describes the different modes of light microscopy - bright field, dark field, and phase contrast - and explains that phase contrast microscopy allows observation of living cells by enhancing contrast between structures with small refractive index differences. It notes that phase contrast microscopy was invented by Frits Zernike, for which he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1953.
Darkfield microscopy illuminates sample edges to appear as silhouettes against a dark background. It uses a modified condenser to direct light obliquely below the sample, blocking directly transmitted light. This technique is useful for viewing thin, unstained, or living samples like bacteria, allowing observation without staining. While simple, it produces high-quality images but requires a clean sample to avoid confusing background particles.
Confocal microscopy allows high-resolution imaging of the layers of the normal human cornea. It illuminates small spots across the cornea and synchronously images each spot, allowing visualization of individual layers without interference from other layers. The cornea consists of an epithelium containing superficial, wing and basal cells, anterior and posterior limiting laminae, stroma containing keratocytes, Descemet's membrane, and endothelium. Cell structures are clearly visible within each layer. The technique provides insights into normal corneal structure and aging changes.
The microscope has evolved significantly since its earliest forms in the 1st century AD. Some key developments include:
1) The earliest microscopes in the 1st century AD had simple lenses that provided around 10x magnification.
2) In the late 16th century, experiments using multiple lenses in a tube led to improved magnification. Galileo later established the optical principles behind using lenses.
3) In the 17th century, Anton van Leeuwenhoek made tiny lenses that greatly increased magnification and allowed him to discover bacteria and microorganisms, while Robert Hooke used early microscopes to observe plant and animal cells.
Phase contrast microscopy allows biologists to study living cells by making subtle phase shifts in light passing through a specimen visible as brightness variations in the image. It reveals many cellular structures not visible with bright field microscopy and does not require staining cells. Frits Zernike invented phase contrast microscopy in the early 1930s and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1953 for this important advancement in microscopy. Phase contrast works by separating illuminating background light from scattered specimen light and manipulating them differently to increase contrast between foreground and background details in the image.
This document provides information about confocal microscopy. It discusses:
- How confocal microscopy works by excluding light from out-of-focus planes to generate high-contrast images with better resolution than conventional microscopes.
- The history of confocal microscopy, which was pioneered by Marvin Minsky in 1955 using pinholes and point-by-point illumination.
- Key aspects of confocal microscopy like using fluorophores, laser excitation, and building 3D images by combining thin optical sections.

The document discusses different types of microscopes. It explains that microscopes are used to magnify small objects and can range from simple magnifying glasses to complex research instruments. Simple microscopes use a single lens for magnification, while compound microscopes use multiple lenses to achieve higher magnification. Specific microscope techniques discussed include light microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, confocal microscopy, phase contrast microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy.
Dark field microscopy produces bright images of unstained samples against a dark background. It works by using a condenser with an opaque disk to block directly transmitted light, allowing only obliquely scattered light from the sample to enter the objective lens. This causes specimens to appear bright on a dark background. It is useful for viewing transparent or unstained samples like bacteria, algae, and minerals. Special care must be taken to avoid dust or bubbles that will appear as bright objects in the image.

Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye (objects that are not within the resolution range of the normal eye). There are three well-known branches of microscopy: optical, electron, and scanning probe microscopy, along with the emerging field of X-ray microscopy.

Targeting Hsp90 and its pathogen Orthologs with Tethered Inhibitors as a Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategy for cancer and infectious diseases with Dr. Timothy Haystead.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

Current Ms word generated power point presentation covers major details about the micronuclei test. It's significance and assays to conduct it. It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
