2 What Does a Microscope Need To Do? Three things need to be accomplished: 1. M A G N I F Y Produce a magnified image of the specimen. 2. C O N T R A S T Render the details within the specimen visible to the imaging device: e.g. eye, camera, photomultiplier tube 3. R E S O L V E Distinguish between objects or features within the specimen. All three things need to be accomplished.

3 Magnification and Contrast but Low Resolution

4 Magnification and Resolution but Low Contrast

5 Contrast and Resolution - but Low Magnification

6 Magnification, Contrast, Resolution

7 Magnification Magnify: Produce a magnified image of the specimen. Magnification = Mag. Objective lens x Mag. Eyepiece Lens 20x lens X 10x eyepiece = 200x magnification 60x lens X 10x eyepiece = 600x magnification 7d/fe cbcd585a2307b6ab0.jpeg GalleryPrints/Display/GP2129.jpg

16 Simple Biconvex Lens If an object is at 2F in front of the lens then an intermediate image is formed at 2F behind the lens and it is a real image. This image is formed at the intermediate image plane. Real Images: 1. Need to cross through a focal point 2. Are inverted 3. Can be projected onto a surface, captured on film or a digital detector.

26 Magnifying Glass or a Mirror

27 Two Lens Systems Modern microscopes use a two lens system with the objective lens being one and the tube lens being the second.

28 Finite vs Infinity Corrected Optics Davidson M.W and Abramowitz M., Optical Microscopy, review article, Olympus America Inc.

29 Infinity Corrected Optics 1. Can add in additional optics between the objective lens and the tube lens. 2. Can focus by moving the objective and not the specimen (stage). 3. Eliminate i "ghost images" that t can be caused by reflections from the surfaces of lenses in finite systems.

30 Abbe s Theory of Image Formation Ernst Karl Abbe ( ) A German physicist who created the first mathematical formulation for microscope design. Prior to his work microscopes components and design was done primarily by trial and error. He worked with Carl Zeiss to develop early scientific research microscopes. He derived the formula for the theoretical resolution of the microscope. Depends on the wavelength of light, numerical aperture of the lens, refractive index of the imaging medium.

31 Interference & Diffraction Patterns Destructive Interference Slit or aperture No Interference. Modified by Claire Brown, McGill Imaging Facility using Constructive Interference

32 Interference & Diffraction Patterns Destructive Interference 1 st order Defracted Constructive Interference Zero Order not Defracted 2 nd order Defracted Constructive Interference

33 Imaging a Line Grating Diffraction pattern depends ds on colour ou of light. Larger spacing with longer wavelength. Red light is diffracted more than blue light

34 White Light Diffraction See a spectrum of light when white light is diffracted by a grid pattern. Blue less diffraction than red. Higher order diffraction is due to smaller features in the image. Smaller features cause a bigger difference in the amount of diffraction between the different colours. Increasing Diffraction

59 Köhler Illumination August Köhler ( ): A German professor who first described d a new way to illuminate microscope samples in He later went on to work for Carl Zeiss in Germany as a Physicist for 45 years. Köhler Illumination: Used to create even illumination over the specimen field of view without having an image of the light source in the field of view.

60 Conjugate Image Planes Conjugate Image Planes: A set of image planes that are optically linked and whose images are superimposed. A collector lens focuses the light source at the back focal plane of the objective putting the front focal plane of the condenser and the filament image in conjugate planes. Therefore, the filament image is no longer conjugate to the image plane, and is no longer visible.
