This photo of some Monarch butterfly abdominal scales was taken by Rob Wood with a Canon 80D DSLR through a <a href="https://www.microscopeworld.com/p-4295-richter-optica-hs-3m-3-monocular-student-microscope-400x.aspx">Richter Optica HS-3 Biological microscope</a>, at 400X. The large objects are scales, while the football-shaped objects are OE spores. Each spore contains 8 protozoa.<br />

The fluorescence microscope can reveal the presence of a single molecule. The basic function of a fluorescence microscope is to irradiate the specimen with a desired and specific band of wavelengths, and then to separate the much weaker emitted fluorescence from the excitation light.<br />

<br />
The microscope's aperture diaphragm can be found on the condenser of the microscope and it is typically a lever that is adjusted, or a built-in slider on the condenser. <br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
The aperture diaphragm on the microscope will usually have numbers on it that correlate to the <a href="https://www.microscopeworld.com/t-na.aspx" target="_blank">numerical aperture</a> (N.A.) on your <a href="https://www.microscopeworld.com/c-222-high-power.aspx" target="_blank">objective lenses</a>.</div>

</tbody></table>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Setting up Koehler Illumination</h3>
<ol>
<li>Start by adjusting the field diaphragm (on the bottom of the microscope where the light is). Focus on your image and open the field diaphragm all the way up so lots of light shines through.</li>
<li>Close the aperture diaphragm (on the condenser) down so you can see the edges of it. Is this dark circle centered in your field of view? If not, use the small centering screws on either side of the condenser to move the circle into the center. </li>
<li>Open the aperture diaphragm back up until the image contrast is sharp and the edges of the aperture diaphragm are crisp and clear.</li>
</ol>

<ul>
<li><b>Glomerular Disease:</b> This is damage to the kidney filters and can be caused by infections such as Lyme disease or cancer.</li>
<li><b>Pyelonephritis: </b>This is an infection of kidney tissues. If a veterinarian finds this infection, the bacteria that is causing the inflammation of kidney tissues can often be killed.</li>
<li><b>Neophrolithiasis:</b> These are kidney stones. Unlike in humans, kidney stones actually do not typically cause dogs too much pain in the early stages.</li>
<li><b>Ureteral Obstruction with Hydronephrosis:</b> This is a kidney blockage. If a dog has kidney stones and they fragment, they can cause a kidney blockage that will not allow urine to pass and the kidneys will swell and become damaged.</li>
<li><b>Tubulointerstitial Disease:</b> This is damage to kidney tabules, often with an unknown cause. This type of kidney disease can only be determined by using a <a href="https://www.microscopeworld.com/c-458-veterinarian-lab-microscopes.aspx" target="_blank">microscope</a> to examine a kidney biopsy (see image below). </li>
<li><b>Leptospirosis:</b> This is a bacterial infection and can cause kidney disease along with organ problems in both people and dogs. Infection can be caused by contact with urine or other bodily fluids from the infected dog.</li>
<li><b>Toxins: </b>These are medications, household chemicals, and even ordinary food like grapes or raisins. If your pet ingests toxins contact <a href="https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control" target="_blank">ASPCA Poison Control</a> immediately.</li>
<li><b>Cancer: </b>The good news is that kidney cancer is not common in dogs. The bad news is that treatment options for kidney cancer in dogs is quite limited. If only one kidney is affected it can be removed with a positive outcome. If the cancer is benign or has not spread the outcome can be good as well.</li>
<li><b>Amyloidosis: </b>This is a protein issue with the kidneys where protein deposits replace normal tissue. </li>
<li><b>Hereditary: </b>Some purebred dogs have a higher rate of kidney disease than others. Additionally, some young dogs will fail to develop normal kidneys.</li>
</ul>

Chromosomes are only visible under a <a href="https://www.microscopeworld.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">light microscope</a> when the cell is undergoing the metaphase of cell division. During metaphase, when a chromosome is in its most condensed state, the X-shape structure is called a metaphase chromosome.<br />

<ul>
<li>Skeletal muscle</li>
<li>Smooth muscle</li>
<li>Cardiac muscle</li>
</ul>
<b>Skeletal muscle</b> covers the skeleton and gives the body shape. Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that is most often thought of when the term "muscle" is used.<br />

Andersen of Steinberg, Norway captured the image below of a marmalade hoverfly. His setup included using the <a href="https://www.microscopeworld.com/p-2190-mitutoyo-m-plan-apo-5x-objective.aspx">Mitutoyo M Plan Apo 5x Objective lens</a>, connected to his Canon EOS 7D camera.<br />
<br />
The marmalade hoverfly (Episyrphus balteatus) is a relatively small hoverfly of the Syrphidae family, widespread through the Palaearctic region which covers Europe, North Asia and North Africa. The upper side of the abdomen is patterned with orange and black bands. These insects often form dense migratory swarms, which may cause panic among people for their resemblance to wasps.<br />
<br />
Harald captured this image using a 100 image stack (Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8).<br />

<ul>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Isnuk-vxXMg/WVPqOHpz61I/AAAAAAAAE8g/lc1BG9ycDQ88Nbus35wiOsBow4nl6kegwCLcBGAs/s1600/Axio-Lab-A1_system.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Isnuk-vxXMg/WVPqOHpz61I/AAAAAAAAE8g/lc1BG9ycDQ88Nbus35wiOsBow4nl6kegwCLcBGAs/s320/Axio-Lab-A1_system.jpg" width="320" /></a>
<li>Sit in the proper position keeping your back straight and your shoulders back. Distribute your body weight evenly on both hips, and keep your feet flat on the floor.</li>
<li>Arrange your work space so that it is close to you.</li>
<li>Ensure there is proper padding if leaning on hard surfaces.</li>
<li>Work with elbows in close proximity to the body.</li>
<li>Work with wrists in a straight and neutral position.</li>
<li>Adjust and/or elevate your chair, workbench, or microscope as needed to maintain an upright head position.</li>
<li>Adjust <a href="https://www.microscopeworld.com/c-233-eyepieces.aspx" target="_blank">microscope eyepieces</a> or mount the microscope on a 30° stand for easier viewing.</li>
<li>Repair and <a href="https://www.microscopeworld.com/p-304-microscope-cleaning-kit.aspx" target="_blank">clean microscopes</a> regularly. <a href="https://www.microscopeworld.com/t-cleanlens.aspx" target="_blank">Learn how to clean lenses here</a>.</li>
<li>If possible, spread microscope work throughout the day and between several people. </li>
<li>Schedule works breaks. Every 15 minutes, close your eyes or focus on something in the distance. Every 30 minutes get up to stretch and move.</li>
</ul>
Microscopy is a demanding and rewarding field to work in. By maintaining an ergonomic work space you can ensure years of healthy and pain-free work.<br />

It surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition in the form of starch, though it can also contain oils and protein. This can make endosperm a good source of nutrition in the human diet.

These two concepts are magnification and resolution. From a technical perspective, resolution is a quantified concept that is defined by the numerical aperture (NA) rating of the objective lenses of the microscope. Numerical Aperture is a number that expresses the ability of a lens to resolve fine detail in an object being observed. Magnification is simply how much an image is enlarged.<br />
<br />
Below are two images of the same small printed part with text on it. The first image was captured using a <a href="https://www.microscopeworld.com/c-429-stereo-microscopes.aspx" target="_blank">stereo microscope</a> with a lens that has NA of 0.10. This image was captured at 90x. Notice in the image below captured with the stereo microscope it is very hard to even read any of the printed text on the circuit. It should also be noted that it took nearly two hours to capture an image of this quality.<br />
<br />

The next image was captured using a <a href="https://www.microscopeworld.com/c-449-upright-metallurgical-microscopes.aspx" target="_blank">metallurgical microscope</a> with a lens that has NA of 0.30 and a magnification of 100x. This image took a few minutes to capture. The magnifications of the two captured images are similar however, notice how much easier it is to read the printed letters in the image that was captured with the metallurgical microscope. That ability is due to better resolution, which was obtained because of a higher numerical aperture of the lens used.</div>

The ears of corn are actually fruit that produce the kernels (seeds) that people eat. Total production of corn worldwide surpasses that of wheat or rice. However, this is not all used for food. Corn is also used for producing ethanol, animal feed, corn starch and corn syrup.<br />
<br />
The United states produced 361 million tons of corn in 2014, followed by China with 215 million tons and Brazil with 80 tons.<br />
