What is a Microscope? A microscope is an instrument designed to make fine details visible. The microscope must accomplish three tasks: • To produce a magnified image of the specimen (magnification). 2. To separate the details in the image (resolution). 3. To render the details visible to the eye, camera, or other imaging device (contrast).
Introduction- Optical Microscopy • Use visible light as illumination source • Has a resolution of ~o.2m • Range of samples characterized - almost unlimited for solids and liquid crystals • Usually nondestructive; sample preparation may involve material removal • Main use – direct visual observation; preliminary observation for final charac-terization with applications in geology, medicine, materials research and engineering, industries, and etc. • Cost - $15,000-$390,000 or more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGBgABLEV4g&feature=endscreen&NR=1 using a microscope

Image Formation by a Converging Lens Two fundamental properties of lenses: • Deviating a light beam parallel to its own axis, then making it to pass through the focus; • Leaving unaltered the path of the rays which pass through the lens center. The A ray (principal ray) passes through the lens center and is not deflected. The B ray comes to the lens moving parallel to the axis and passes through F1. The C ray which in a similar way passes through F2 and leaves the lens parallel to the optical axis. Any two of these three characteristic rays can be utilized to determine the size and placement of the image formed by the lens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k1NNIOzjFo&feature=related to~3:42

Maximum Magnification of a Lens 1/f = 1/O + 1/i • Angular magnification is maximum when virtual image is at “near point” of the eye, i.e. 25 cm (i = -25 cm) • Using the lens formula, o = 25f/(25+f ) • 0 h/25 and h/o f in cm
Magnification when the Eyes are Relaxed 1/f = 1/O + 1/i • The eyes can focus at points from infinity to the “near point” but is most relaxed while focus at infinity. • When o = f, i = • For this case, 0 h/25 and h/f
Limitations of a Single Lens • From the formula, larger magnificationrequires smaller focal length • The focal length of a lens with magnification 10 is approximately 2.5cm while that of a 100 lens is 2.5mm. • Lens with such a short focal length (~2.5mm) is very difficult to make • Must combine lenses to achieve high magnifications
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3SsxIUm0As Compound Microscope at~10:20-11:10 Image Formation in Compound Microscope Compound microscope consists of two converging lenses, the objective and the eyepiece (ocular). • Object (O) placed just outside focal point of objective lens • A real inverted (intermediate) image (I1) forms at or close to focal point of eyepiece. • The eyepiece produces a further magnified virtual inverted image (I2). • L – Optical tube length 25cm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcyF4kLKQTQ at~1:57 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKA8_mif6-E
Magnification of Compound Microscope • Magnification by the objective m0 = s’1/s1 • Since s’1 L and s1 f0, therefore magnification of objective mo L/fo • Magnification of eyepiece me = 25/fe (assuming the final image forms at ) • Overall magnification M = mome =

Resolution of an Optical Microscope – Physical Limit • Owing to diffraction, the image of a point is no longer a point but an airy disc after passing through a lens with finite aperture! • The disc images (diffraction patterns) of two adjacent points may overlap if the two points are close together. • The two points can no longer be distinguished if the discs overlap too much
Resolution of Microscope – Rayleigh Criteria Rayleigh Criteria: Angular separation of the two points is such that the central maximum of one image falls on the first diffraction minimum of the other =m 1.22/d

Resolution of Microscope – in terms of Linear separation • To express the resolution in terms of a linear separation r, have to consider the Abbe’s theory • Path difference between the two beams passing the two slits is • Assuming that the two beams are just collected by the objective, then i = and dmin = /2sin I II =m 1.22/d I II
Resolution of Microscope – Numerical Aperture • If the space between the specimen and the objective is filled with a medium of refractive index n, then wavelength in medium n = /n • The dmin = /2n sin = /2(N.A.) • For circular aperture dmin= 1.22/2(N.A.)=0.61/(N.A.)where N.A. = n sin is called numerical aperture Air n=1.0 Immersion oil n=1.515 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2asdncMYMo at~5:12-6:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgHcQvt6ssk at~1:30-1:37
Numerical Aperture (NA) NA=1 - theoretical maximum numerical aperture of a lens operating with air as the imaging medium Angular aperture (72 degrees) One half of A-A NA of an objective is a measure of its ability to gather light and resolve fine specimen detail at a fixed object distance. NA = n(sin ) n: refractive index of the imaging medium between the front lens of objective and specimen cover glass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0Z4H2O_Stg at~2:00-3:40 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8PQ9RMUoA8 at~6:20-7:50
Factors Affecting Resolution • Resolution = dmin = 0.61/(N.A.) • Resolution improves (smaller dmin) if or n or • Assuming that sin = 0.95 ( = 71.8°) • (The eye is more sensitive to blue than violet)

Optical Aberrations Reduce the resolution of microscope Aberrationin optical systems (lenses intended to produce a sharp image) generally leads to blurring of the image. It occurs when light from one point of an object after transmission through the system does not converge into a single point. • Spherical (geometrical) aberration – related to the spherical nature of the lens • Chromatic aberration – arise from variations in the refractive indices of the wide range of frequencies in visible light Two primary causes of non-ideal lens action: Astigmatism, field curvature and comatic aberrations are easily corrected with proper lens fabrication.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCYX_XQgnSA&feature=related at~6:30-7:10 Defects in Lens • Spherical Aberration – Peripheral rays and axial rays have different focal points (caused by spherical shape of the lens surfaces). • causes the image to appear hazy or blurred and slightly out of focus. • very important in terms of the resolution of the lens because it affects the coincident imaging of points along the optical axis and degrade the performance of the lens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKNFW0YwDYw -Canon lens production http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E85FZ7WLvao http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/aberrations/spherical/index.html
Defects in Lens • Chromatic Aberration • Axial - Blue light is refracted to the greatest extent followed by green and red light, a phenomenon commonly referred to as dispersion • Lateral - chromatic difference of magnification: the blue image of a detail was slightly larger than the green image or the red image in white light, thus causing color ringing of specimen details at the outer regions of the field of view A converging lens can be combined with a weaker diverging lens, so that the chromatic aberrations cancel for certain wavelengths: The combination – achromatic doublet weaker diverging lens http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH7rbRu7Av8&list=PL02D1D436A44B521A chromatic aberration http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8PQ9RMUoA8 at~3:30-4:30
Defects in Lens • Astigmatism - The off-axis image of a specimen point appears as a disc or blurred lines instead of a point. • Depending on the angle of the off-axis rays entering the lens, the line image may be oriented either tangentially or radially A o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ4rDNOX7So at~3:27-4:15 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RijnutOU4o http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/aberrations/astigmatism/index.html
Defects in Lens • Curvature of Field - When visible light is focused through a curved lens, the image plane produced by the lens will be curved • The image appears sharp and crisp either in the center or on the edges of the viewfield but not both http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/aberrations/curvatureoffield/index.html
Defects in Lens • Coma - Comatic aberrations are similar to spherical aberrations, but they are mainly encountered with off-axis objects and are most severe when the microscope is out of alignment. Coma causes the image of a non-axial point to be reproduced as an elongated comet shape, lying in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXmaY2txEBo&list=PL02D1D436A44B521A&index=4 http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/aberrations/coma/index.html
