NSF applicants from a microscopy group at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign sought a new scanning electron microscope, and included a plan to involve schoolchildren in the project.
This manual shows you how a typical light field microscope is setup and includes a tutorial on how to use the basic features of LFDisplay.
The microstructure study was carried out using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and included image analysis of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) around the coarse aggregate.
"We fill newspapers and airtime and of course everything that happens at the club is put under the microscope and that includes players' performances.
Head width of all males, their mates and the control females was measured under a dissecting microscope at 40× magnification and included in all analyses as a covariate.
We also investigated how variations in the imaging setup affected the segmentation quality by imaging the same culture of Oct4-GiP mESC with three different microscopes and cameras, including color and b/w cameras (Fig. 3).
Gledhill's microscope work includes experimenting with liquids and crystals to create abstract images, exposing the delicate beauty of butterflies' wings using a macro lens, and exploring the individualism of snowflakes and their complex and intricate structures.
All microphotographic images for examining each set of the experimental groups were taken under the same camera and microscope settings including the dimension, voxel size, and exposure parameters (intensity, exposure time and gain for each channel, as well as threshold values for black as 0, white as 255, and binning 1 × 1), except pERK which has threshold values from 99 to 255.
The microscope attachment includes an objective lens, a mechanism to adjust the height of the sample slide to bring the sample into focus, and an LED light to bright-field illuminate the sample.
This microscope also includes a Super-X quad EDX detector for elemental analysis, providing information about atom position and composition simultaneously.
