The most common microscopes in schools and universities are compound, stereo (binocular) and digital microscopes. These are the units we will focus on in this guide. Below is an overview of the ...

The youngsters went out on to the common looking for natural things to study under the microscope and collected mosses, ...

The world’s first fully 3D-printed microscope can be made in a few hours and for a fraction of the cost of traditional ones.

But there’s enough for us to get a good idea of how they work. Stereo microscopes use one of two optical designs — the Common Main Objective (CMO) optical system and the Greenough optical system.

Researchers have designed and built the world’s first microscope made entirely from 3D-printed parts. And because the open-source plans are already available online, almost anyone can assemble ...

In electronics work, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) is the most common. You hit something with electrons and watch for secondary electron emissions. However, biologists more often use a ...

Stereo microscopes come in two configurations, Greenough and the common main objective (CMO) designs. The more-expensive CMO design uses a single objective, whereas Greenough microscopes use two.
