Canada

Canada is a country in North America.

Confocal microscopy

Confocal microscopy, most frequently confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) or laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), is an optical imaging technique for increasing optical resolution and contrast of a micrograph by means of using a spatial pinhole to block out-of-focus light in image formation.

Dark-field microscopy

Dark-field microscopy (also called dark-ground microscopy) describes microscopy methods, in both light and electron microscopy, which exclude the unscattered beam from the image.

See Nikon Small World and Dark-field microscopy

Deconvolution

In mathematics, deconvolution is the inverse of convolution.

See Nikon Small World and Deconvolution

Differential interference contrast microscopy

Differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy, also known as Nomarski interference contrast (NIC) or Nomarski microscopy, is an optical microscopy technique used to enhance the contrast in unstained, transparent samples.

See Nikon Small World and Differential interference contrast microscopy

Fluorescence microscope

A fluorescence microscope is an optical microscope that uses fluorescence instead of, or in addition to, scattering, reflection, and attenuation or absorption, to study the properties of organic or inorganic substances.

See Nikon Small World and Fluorescence microscope

Life

Life is a quality that distinguishes matter that has biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from matter that does not.

See Nikon Small World and Life

Lions Eye Institute

The Lions Eye Institute (LEI) is an Australian medical research institute affiliated with the University of Western Australia.

Microscope

A microscope is a laboratory instrument used to examine objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye.

See Nikon Small World and Microscope

Microscopy

Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye (objects that are not within the resolution range of the normal eye).

See Nikon Small World and Microscopy

Nikon

() is an optics and photographic equipment manufacturer headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.

Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology is a clinical and surgical specialty within medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders.

See Nikon Small World and Ophthalmology

Optical microscope

The optical microscope, also referred to as a light microscope, is a type of microscope that commonly uses visible light and a system of lenses to generate magnified images of small objects.

See Nikon Small World and Optical microscope

Perth

Perth (Boorloo) is the capital city of Western Australia.

See Nikon Small World and Perth

Phase-contrast microscopy

Phase-contrast microscopy (PCM) is an optical microscopy technique that converts phase shifts in light passing through a transparent specimen to brightness changes in the image.

See Nikon Small World and Phase-contrast microscopy

Photography

Photography is the art, application, and practice of creating images by recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.

See Nikon Small World and Photography

Polarized light microscopy

Polarized light microscopy can mean any of a number of optical microscopy techniques involving polarized light.

See Nikon Small World and Polarized light microscopy

Time-lapse photography

Time-lapse photography is a technique in which the frequency at which film frames are captured (the frame rate) is much lower than the frequency used to view the sequence.

See Nikon Small World and Time-lapse photography

United States

The United States of America (USA or U.S.A.), commonly known as the United States (US or U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in North America.
