Trinocular Microscopes

• Image Analysis
  The extraction of numerical data from images has a long history. The use of a calibrated scale to extract length data from objects seen in a microscope is an example of image analysis. Much of the foundation of image analysis was developed using manual analysis techniques on photographic prints.read more...


• Electronic Photography on the Microscope
  With an electronic camera and a microscope, it would seem that all the parts necessary for electronic photography are present. Actually, some type of controlling device and storage device for the images is necessary. This generally takes the form of a desktop personal computer. read more...


• Microscope Requirements
  The essential requirement for a microscope intended for image capture is a port for the electronic camera. This generally is referred to as a trinocular microscope, since the third port is also required for most photomicrographic systems, the old Zeiss Universal system incorporated the camera into the microscope, and therefore did not require a trinocular port. read more...


• Connecting Cameras to Microscopes
  The connection of camera to the microscope is very important to facilitate its functions and the processing to have accurate images as seen in the microscopic field. The detector element in electronic cameras is generally a rectangle or a square, regardless of the shape of the individual pixel sensors. read more...


• Digital Photography on Microscopes
  Digital photography is advancement in the investigatory field to study images of objects under the microscope. Digital photography is simply the replacement of a film type camera with an electronic camera such as a video camera. The key to digital photography is that no film is involved. read more...


• Introduction to Trinocular Microscopes
  Trinocular microscopes have three objectives, which are the metal tubes that contain the lenses, instead of the usual one, or even two. This type of microscope will often be used for biological or medical applications, as usually their extra functions enable more complicated and closer examination of a specimen. That third eyepiece in trinocular microscopes allows for photo microscopy. read more...
