Microscopy ergonomics
Upon walking in o a busy laboratory it isn't unusual to see microscopes sitting on books, tilted at odd angles, and otherwise precariously supported in a variety of positions to accommodate their users.

Reflected Light Microscopy
Reflected light microscopy is often referred to as incident light, epi-illumination, or metallurgical microscopy, and is the method of choice for fluorescence and for imaging specimens that remain opaque even when ground to a thickness of 30 microns.

Anatomy of a Microscope - Substage Condensers
The substage condenser gathers light from the microscope light source and concentrates it in o a cone of light that illuminates the specimen with uniform intensity over the entire viewfield.

Anatomy of a Microscope - Field Curvature
Curvature of field in optical microscopy is an aberration that is familiar to most experienced microscopists. This artifact is the natural result of using lenses that have curved surfaces.
