Microscopic otologic photography using a standard 35-mm camera
The American Journal of Otology
|January 1, 1981
Abstract:
For years microscopic otologic photography required expensive sophisticated equipment or specialized camera attachments. Recently one of the authors reported using an automatic 35-mm single lens reflex camera to reproduce high-quality slides. The authors now describe how reliable, inexpensive microscopic otologic photography can be performed using a pre-set standard 35-mm single lens reflex camera without the need for metering, automatic adjustments, or sophisticated equipment.

01:18Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy
Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.

01:22Overview of Microscopy Techniques
The early pioneers of microscopy opened a window into the invisible world of microorganisms. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes that leveraged nonvisible light, such as fluorescence microscopy that uses an ultraviolet light source and electron microscopy that uses short-wavelength electron beams. These advances significantly improved magnification, image resolution, and contrast. By comparison, the...
