11. 3-D MICROSCOPY
Optical Microscope is a type of microscope which uses visible light and
a system of lenses to magnify images of small samples.
The image from an optical microscope can be captured by normal light-
sensitive cameras to generate a micrograph.
WHAT IT IS ?
Dutch spectacle makers, Zacharias Jansen and his father Hans were
responsible for making the first compound microscope in the late 16th century
FIRST BREAKTHROUGH
First compound microscope
Monocular - only use one eyepiece when viewing
the specimen.
Inexpensive
Binocular - with two eyepieces which proves to be
more comfortable.
Most common choice.
Trinocular - has a third eyepiece tube that can be
used by another person simultaneously or by a CCD
camera.
Most expensive .

BASIC FUNCTION
MAGNIFICATION
 Magnification of a compound optical microscope is the product of the powers
of the ocular (eyepiece) and the objective lens.
 If the magnification of the eyepiece is 10x and the magnification of the objective
lens is 40x, the overall magnification is 400x.
 The maximum normal magnifications of the ocular and objective are 10× and
100× respectively, giving a final magnification of 1,000×.
 Microelectronics, nanophysics, biotechnology, pharmaceutical research,
mineralogy and microbiology
 Medical diagnosis, the field being termed
histopathology when dealing with tissues, or in smear
tests on free cells or tissue fragments.
 Measuring microscopes are used for precision measurement.
APPLICATIONS
 In Industrial use, binocular microscopes are common.
LIMITATIONS
 At very high magnifications with transmitted light, point objects are seen as
fuzzy discs surrounded by diffraction rings , airy disks.
 Impacts of diffraction limit the ability to resolve fine details.
Airy Disks
3-D microscopy images (upper) and SEM images (lower) of Si
samples, laser treated at 25 kHz (A), 70 kHz (B) and 100 kHz (C)
