    Telescope Light and other kinds of electromagnetic radiation coming from the universe outside the Earth must travel enormous distances through space and time to reach observers. Only the brightest and nearest stars can be seen with the unaided eye. To see farther and to clarify and measure what is seen, a telescope is needed. The word telescope is derived from the Greek words tele, "from afar," and skopos, "viewer." Even a simple homemade telescope can clearly show Saturn's rings, Jupiter's bands

There are two main purposes of a microscope: 1) to increase the magnification of an object 2) to have a high resolving power Both of these will be examined; however, a greater emphasis will be placed on the resolving power. Magnifying Power (brief overview) Magnifying power: is also called angular magnification. Figure 1a shows an object y in front of a lens. Rays of light reflect off the object through the lens and a now larger image

During the late 1700’s, the microscope was reinvented with 1500x magnification. The most recent advancement in microscopes is the electron microscope, which was invented in 1930. This particular model uses an electron beam, instead of light & 4,000,000x magnifications with incredible resolution. There are many different parts of a microscope and each one has its

    save time and reduce damage to the implant after surgery (Hendrikus et al, 2008). Manual implant templating is rather difficult to execute due to X-ray film magnification factors that is constantly changing. In the process of digital templating, the templates and images can be automatically scaled to obtain the appropriate magnification scaling factor. However, the accuracy is depending on the scaling techniques used. By creating a better scaling techniques, the pre-surgical evaluation process

For the lab, the microscope should be carry by the arm and the base. The objective lenses needed to be at low-power and gradually switch to the high-power. To focus on a specimen, gently move the coarse or the fine adjustment knob. Later, total the magnification of the ocular lens times by the objectives lenses. In the letter “e” and the cheek cells, the primary focus

    Refracting Telescopes Introduction: A telescope is a device used to magnify distant objects. Telescopes can be used to look at things on earth or at objects in space. The telescopes for use on the earth are known as terrestrial telescopes and the telescopes for looking into space are known as astronomical telescopes. The refracting telescope is one of many different types of telescope. Refracting telescopes work by refracting the light through an initial convex lens, (known as the objective

We will explore the image-intensification tube, the various gain parameters associated with the tube, and the magnification mode of the image intensifier. The image-intensifying tube is extremely intricate and allows for the conversion of the x-ray beam to be converted As x-rays exit the patient, they interact with a cesium iodide input phosphor which converts the x-ray

    Missing Figures A Brief History of Telescopes Although telescopes has been around for several hundreds of years, there has been great discrepancy as to who invented it first. Here is one authors opinion. Lippershey was a Dutch spectacle marker during the early 17th century (approximately 1600). He was one of the first who created the "looker" (now called telescope) by placing two pieces of lenses together. The discovery that placing lenses together can magnify images were made by children who
