2 How do we see? target source detector …and often you’ll need a lens
3
3 Magnifying Glass Magnification: 2-10x (Loupes 30x) One lens (Many Lenses and Prisms) Usually a biconvex lens - both sides are convex
4
4 Focal Length Magnified Right Side Up Shrunk Upside Side Up Focal Length
5
5 Chromatic Aberration A kind of distortion (color) Can be fixed to a certain extent Imperfections also lead to distortions Tilting the lens leads to another distortion
6
6 Examples of Chromatic Aberration
7
7 Activity: Assemble the Telescope! Arrrrgh!
8
8 Telescope #1 Galilean Telescope Produces Upright Images
9
9 Telescope #2 Wider Field of View
10
10 Telescope #3 Allows for Larger Objectives (collects more light) Reflecting Telescope
11
11 Microscope Light Source Stage and Sample Objective Lens Ocular Lens (Eyepiece)
12
12 Telescope -> Microscope
13
13 Magnification Objective Lenses 4x Magnification 10x Magnification 40x Magnification 100x Magnification 10x Magnification Total Magnification: 40x, 100x, 400x, 1000x Other techniques: Feature Size
14
14 Focus Coarse and Fine Focus Knobs Larger Magnification Usually Means Shorter Depth of Field
15
15 Example Image
16
16 Digital Microscope
17
17 Direct Viewing Light from the sample goes directly to your eye
18
18 Indirect Viewing Light from the sample goes to a sensor, and an image is produced later on film, a screen, or as data in a computer
19
19 Images and Rasterisation Computer Graphics: Any Magnification What about feature size?
20
20 Digital Microscope Time! Try looking at different objects Fill out lab sheet about magnification
21
21 Microscopy without Light Other radiation Special sensors Machine intervention Computer image processing False Color
22
22 Scale
23
23 X-Rays and Gamma-Rays!
24
24 Other Radiation – Radio Waves
25
25 What Comes Next? How to view things that do not emit light? How to view things smaller than the wavelength of light? What do we actually “see” when we use such techniques? http://www.mrs.org/s_mrs/doc.asp?CID=1803&DID=171434
