Research Microscope computer artwork
The optical microscope, often referred to as the " light microscope", is a type of microscope which uses visible light and a system of lenses to magnify images of small samples. Optical microscopes are the oldest design of microscope and were designed around 1600. Basic optical microscopes can be very simple, although there are many complex designs which aim to improve resolution and sample contrast. The cluster of 5 lenses at the base of the optical column are known as objective lenses and come in wide range of magnifications. The top of the optical column is used to focus the sample image into a camera for photomicrography

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing computer artwork of a research microscope. The optical microscope, also known as the "light microscope" is an ancient yet revolutionary invention dating back to 1600. Utilizing visible light and a series of lenses, this type of microscope magnifies images of small samples with remarkable precision. The simplicity of basic optical microscopes contrasts with the complexity found in advanced designs that strive to enhance resolution and sample contrast. At the foundation of the optical column lies a cluster of five lenses called objective lenses, each offering various levels of magnification for detailed examination. Meanwhile, at the top end of the column, we find an essential component used to focus the sample image into a camera specifically designed for photomicrography. This stunning artwork beautifully captures both the elegance and functionality inherent in microscopy research. It symbolizes humanity's tireless pursuit to unravel nature's mysteries by peering into its intricate details through optics and lenses. As we delve deeper into this microscopic world using visible light as our guide, we unlock new realms previously hidden from our naked eyes. Displayed here is not just an image but also an ode to scientific exploration—a testament to mankind's insatiable curiosity about our surroundings. This photograph serves as a reminder that science knows no bounds when it comes to expanding our knowledge and understanding of life on Earth and beyond.
