Brightfield microscopy is the most elementary form of microscope illumination techniques... The name "brightfield" is derived from the fact that the specimen is dark and contrasted by the surrounding bright viewing field.... In brightfield microscopy a specimen is placed on the stage of the microscope and incandescent light from the microscope's light source is aimed at a lens beneath the specimen.... light passes through the specimen and then is collected by an objective lens situated in a turret above the stage.... This technique can be used to view fixed specimens or live cells. Since many organic specimens are transparent or opaque, staining is required to cause the contrast that allows them to be visible under the microscope. 2, record 2, English, - bright%2Dfield%20optical%20microscopy

La microscopie optique en champ clair (ou «à fond clair») est la plus simple et la plus ancienne des techniques de microscopie. [...] L'illumination se fait par transmission de lumière blanche, c'est-à-dire que l'échantillon est illuminé par dessous et observé par dessus. Les limitations de cette technique sont principalement un faible contraste de la plupart des échantillons biologiques et une résolution faible due au flou créé par la matière hors du plan focal. En contrepartie, la technique est simple et l'échantillon ne nécessite qu'une préparation minime. 1, record 2, French, - microscopie%20optique%20en%20champ%20clair

Microscope objectives use the principle of aplanatic refraction and to reduce the refraction at the front lens of the objective for higher powers, cedar wood oil(refractive index 1. 517) is placed between the cover glass(index 5. 1, say) and the plane surface of the front lens of higher index... Besides aiding aplanatism the numerical aperture is increased by this process, which therefore increases resolving power. 2, record 3, English, - immersion%20objective

[Electron Microscopy of Cotton. Preparation of Ultrathin Sections.... ] Expansion Technique.... ion Etching(Spit).... Preparation of Fibers.... Auxiliary Techniques. Dispersion Staining. Cotton fibers are embedded in a cargille medium, the refractive index of which is chosen such that its wavelength dispersion curve and that of the object intersect at...=580 nm. When viewed with a central stop in the microscope objective lens, the fiber then has a magenta color. For untreated cotton the refractive index of the medium has to be nD=1. 59, and for mercerized cotton 1. 54. 2, record 15, English, - dispersion%20staining%20optical%20microscopy

Stereozoom Microscopes. Mention was made earlier that the zoom concept is particularly well suited to stereomicroscope applications. This is due to the fact that the upper useful magnification range of numerical aperture objectives.(...) The two zoom lenses in Fig. 3A are cam driven in the conventional fashion and the first zoom lens is designed to vary the effective numerical aperture in much the same way as described for the compound microscope in Fig. 1B. 2, record 16, English, - stereozoom%20microscope

Le microscope stéréoscopique à zoom est un perfectionnement récent [du microscope stéréoscopique] qui permet de faire varier le grossissement dans certaines limites. Beaucoup de microscopes stéréoscopiques modernes ont une application précise, comme l'assemblage répétitif, et ont un grossissement unique. 1, record 16, French, - microscope%20st%C3%A9r%C3%A9oscopique%20%C3%A0%20zoom
