  • The Electron Microscope: Looking At The Building Blocks Of The Universe
    If you think viewing something at one hundred degrees of magnification is special, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. There are, and have been for a while, electron microscopes which can provide two million degrees of magnification, even though there are very few human beings who will ever have any reason to magnify anything to that extent.
  • The Highly Specialized Fiber Optic Microscope
    The standard microscope is a fixture in millions of school, medical, and research laboratories around the world. It is used by grammar school kids and Ph.D. researchers alike, and most of us have at least a rudimentary understanding of how it works.
  • The Small But Essential Microscope Slide
    One of the sometimes overlooked pieces of equipment in any research lab is the humble microscope slide. Yet without a high quality microscope slide, the characteristics of the specimen being viewed can often be confused with the characteristics of the surface on which it is placed.
  • The Advantages Of A Stereo Zoom Microscope
    If you have had no experience with microscopes other than your exposure to them in high school biology lab, you may have never heard of a stereo zoom microscope. You almost certainly used a compound microscope throughout your high school career.
  • The Stereoscopic Microscope: The Positives Of Double Vision
    The stereoscopic microscope is to science fair projects what Jell-o is to first time cooks; a foolproof project that will actually do what it is expected to do. Stereoscopic microscopes have been around forever, with their design unaffected by the advent of such 20th century wonders as the electron and digital microscopes.
  • Choosing A Student Microscope
    While you want to buy your budding scientist his or her own microscope for research done outside of the school laboratory, you don’t know what features are essential and what features are just there to make the microscope sound more impressive than it actually is.
  • The Compound Microscope Alternative: The Video Microscope
    Microscopes, without any doubt, are marvelous inventions without which the current state of life on Earth would be very different indeed. Microscopes have led to the discovery of countless medically and chemically-based improvements in the human condition.
