  • There are two different kinds of magnification: magnification and linear magnification. The basics of these are explained here.

    I’m currently reading Evenings at the Microscope by Philip Henry Gosse, (1859) and he speaks not of magnification (not 10X or 40X) but of diameters. For example, a fly tarsus observed under a power of 600 diameters. Any idea on how this relates to magnification?

    Wonderful. Thank you. About the technical components of a microscope, @Microbehunter, you have a video on Phase Contract. Awesome. Thanks for that. Can you add one for other contrast techniques like DIC (differential interference contract), Florescence, Polarising and Is there something special for Metallurgy?

    Good video. Another concept I would love to see you explain is Field Number. It is marked on my objective lenses as 20 but descriptions of FN that I see involve apply to the eyepiece, not objective lens. Confusing!

    • @Microbehunter
      @Microbehunter  5 лет назад

      It could be that the FN on the objective specifies the maximum usable FN of the eyepiece. Older objectives had about a FN of 18, the newer ones a FN of 28. There is no point in attaching eyepieces whose FN is larger than the FN provided by the objective, and this might be the reason, why some objectives have the FN written on it.

    If you are not able to put a scale bar in the picture, what is the most “meaningful” number you can use to describe the magnification (in your opinion)? eg. The NA or the objective used.

    • @Microbehunter
      @Microbehunter  5 лет назад +1

      NA is a measure of resolution and does not say anything about size. Objective used is possible, but then again this is not very informative because it disregards other parameters that are relevant for the total magnification (camera distance, magnification of photoeyepiece, or reduction optics, pixel density on the camera etc.). If you specify the objective on the picture, then do not simply say 10x or 40x, but write out "10x objective" so that the person looking at the picture knows that it refers to the objective used and not to a 10x total magnification.

    This is a very informative video.
    Does this for explanation also applies to telescopes?

    • @Microbehunter
      @Microbehunter  5 лет назад +2

      Almost: a 50x telescope will make the object appear with a 50x larger diameter, so in that sense it is the same. Stars are so far away that they will still appear as a point, however. So in that sense magnification is still not relevant. Telescopes actually should be seen as light-gathering instruments that make faint objects appear visible and not so much as magnifying devices. Magnification is relevant in telescopes for observing the moon, planets, other objects on earth. But the magnification "on paper" (the linear magnification) is irrelevant,. The moon shown on a print-out is actually not magnified, but rather smaller than in real life (of course). So we do not use magnification and scale bars here.

    Hi, I just got myself a microscope so it might be a silly question but how do you get the original reference size? How do you know that the length of the bar is 0.1mm? I saw some additional scales that one attaches somewhere to give a reference grid or lines but I don't really know how these work or how (maybe) these can be done DIY style.
    I'm interested in hearing more on the subject.
    Great channel. You helped me a lot in deciding to buy a used Olympus over a new noname. I am over the moon with my purchase and very excited to explore.

    • @Microbehunter
      @Microbehunter  5 лет назад +3

      In brief - you need a micrometer slide. They contain a scale. You take a picture of this slide and then can count the pixels. Alternatively you can do an approximation using a ruler. Using the 4x objective, take a picture of the ruler (1mm) and then count the pixels of 1 mm. For the 10x objective, this might be too large to see. Therefore multiply the pixels of the 4x objective by 2.5 to get the 10x value. I will do a video on this.
