Better Lenses
Not much change in the basic microscope design occurred, but better lenses were crafted to solve problems like color distortion and poor image resolution. -
Ernst Abbe
Ernst Abbe discovered that oil-immersion lenses prevented light distortion at highest magnification power. These are still used today on 1000x-objective microscopes -
The modern compound microscope
A German schientist Ernst Abbe and Carl Zeiss made a compound microscope with complex lenses that greatly improve the image -
transmission electron micorscope
German physicist Ernst Ruska created the first electron microscope, -
scanning electronic mmicroscope
This machine send electrons over the surface of a specimen -
scanning tunneling microscope (STM)
An STM measures electrons that leak or "tunnel" from the surface of the specimen -
Virtual Microscope
The Virtual Microscope (VM) is a computer system consisting of both software and hardware for scanning microscopic images of cells, tissues and body fluids and converting them into a digital image. The technology allows the images to be transferred to a CD and to the Internet, and is particularly beneficial for quality assurance, training and educational purposes. -
Global Microscope
The enabling environment for financial inclusion assesses the regulatory environment for financial inclusion across 12 indicators and 55 countries. For the second year, the Microscope takes a broad look at financial inclusion, evaluating the regulatory ecosystems supporting expanded access to financial services. -
