Light Microscope
Working Principle
- Light microscope visible light aur lenses ka use karta hai chhoti objects ko magnify karne ke liye.
- Jab light specimen se pass hoti hai aur lenses usse focus karte hain, toh ek magnified image banta hai.
- Specimen ko itna thin hona chahiye ki light usse easily pass kar sake, aur lenses usse magnify karke image banate hain.
-
Refraction: Lenses light ko bend karte hain, jo specimen ko magnify karne mein madad karta hai. Jab light specimen se pass hoti hai, uska interaction lenses ke saath ek clear aur enlarged image create karta hai.
-
Resolution: Light microscope ka resolution visible light ke wavelength tak limited hota hai. Typical resolution 0.2 micrometers (μm) ke aas-paas hota hai, matlab woh objects ko differentiate kar sakta hai jo kam se kam 0.2 μm door ho.
Parts
-
Eyepiece (Ocular lens): Ye lens hai jise user dekhne ke liye use karta hai, generally 10x magnification ke saath.
-
Objective Lenses: Ye lenses ek rotating turret par mounted hote hain aur different magnifications (4x, 10x, 40x, 100x) offer karte hain jo specimen se light collect karte hain aur image banate hain.
-
Stage: Ye ek flat platform hota hai jahan microscope slide ko place kiya jata hai.
