Microscopes - Digital microscope

A digital microscope is a light microscope in which the optical acquisition of the image is not performed by the eyes, but by light-sensitive diodes. The image can then be viewed on a display and, if necessary, measured. The optical magnification is generated by connecting lenses in series, which allows magnifications of up to 2500x with this device. The magnified display of the specimen is achieved by focusing the visible light through two lens systems, the objective and the eyepiece system. The lenses are arranged so that the image produced by the objective, the intermediate image, is at the focal point of the eyepiece. The viewer sees a magnified, virtual image of the real image through the eyepiece. With a digital microscope it is also possible to make three-dimensional images.
