Without looking through the eyepiece, lower the stage completely and carefully place the microscope slide on the microscope stage with the specimen on the slide directly over the opening in the stage. If your microscope has stage clips, secure the … Continue reading →

Canon has designed a system that makes it easier and more reliable to capture high-dynamic-range (HDR) photos by better pairing an in-body image stabilization (IBIS) with shake detection algorithms that actively correct for changes in a scene at the point … Continue reading →

Sigma may be about to bolster its lens range with the launch of a new 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom, featuring a Sony E mountSony E mountThe E-mount is a lens mount designed by Sony for their NEX (“New E-mount eXperience”) and … Continue reading →

This can be done in a steady stream, or a series of washes. The important aspect is to ensure that all the color has come out that will do so easily. This step washes away unbound crystal violet, leaving Gram-positive … Continue reading →

The reference to the F-Stop f8 is significant because it represents the middle aperture on most lenses and a setting at which the camera’s zone of focus is increasing. So “f8 and be there” is a nice way of saying … Continue reading →

Select Pro Mode from the options at the bottom of the Samsung Camera app to make manual adjustments to the following: ISO: Set the ISO between 50 and 800. Aperture & Shutter Speed: Select between the f/1.5 and f/2.4 cameras … Continue reading →

The brightness of a lens is decided by a combination of focal length and lens diameter. If the focal length of two lenses is the same, the lens with the larger diameter will be brighter. What is affected by focal … Continue reading →

You can photograph just about anything with a telephoto lens, as long as it’s far enough away from you to be within your lens’s focal range. These lenses can work wonders for distant wildlife, photos of people, and cityscapes or … Continue reading →

Popular among enthusiasts and professionals alike, and an industry standard for videography, mirrorless crop sensor cameras (mirrorless cameras with APS-C or micro four-thirds format sensors) capture stellar images and footage but have smaller and lighter bodies and lenses than full … Continue reading →

As working distance is inversely proportional to the magnification, the more the magnification the least will be the working distance. So, the objective lens with 100X Magnification will have the least working distance and an objective lens with magnification 5X … Continue reading →

Working distance and magnification are inversely related. This means that as you increase the magnification, you have to move the lens closer to the specimen to achieve an optimal image. What is the relationship between the power of the objective … Continue reading →

The objective lens consists of several lenses to magnify an object and project a larger image. According to the difference of the focal distance, lenses of different magnifications are available, such as 4x, 10x, 40x, and 50x. Where is the … Continue reading →

Always place the 4X objective over the stage and be sure the stage is at its lowest position before putting the microscope away. 9. Always turn off the light before putting the microscope away. What lens is closest to the … Continue reading →

The power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of the focal length. Lens power is measured in dioptres (D). p o w e r o f a l e n s ( D ) = 1 f o … Continue reading →

If your microscope has stage clips, secure the slide under the stage clips. If your microscope has a mechanical stage, turn the control knobs (below one side of the stage) to position the specimen directly over the opening in the … Continue reading →
