What is a microscopic photo?
microscopic photography is a science of creating and recording images of microscopic material. It is generally used in various fields of science, from forensic to archeology. Early microscopic photography methods included adaptation of photographic equipment for use with microscopic lenses. In the 21st century, progress in digital photography enables greater flexibility in creating these pictures. Microscopic photography is also called photomicroscopy and the result is called a photomicrograph or simply a micrograph.
Photographs and microscopy were the result of progress in the construction of optics and lenses in the 17th to 19th century. The brilliant combination of mirrors and magnifying lenses brought small details of the image to sharp focus, as well as the human eye. In the correct arrangement, such lenses and mirrors could enlarge very distant, as in binoculars or very small. In the 18th century, pioneering photographers learned how to permanently record images on KOVUNEBO glass surfaces, called plates, through them chemical processes. Scientists soon realized that they could use a photo to record images they were looking at through their microscopes.
The oldest microscopic photograph has seen microscopic pictures directly on the photo plates. This was achieved using adapter rings to connect the microscope to the camera lens. In some cases, the camera lens has been removed, allowing the microscope to function as the lens itself. In the 20th century, special cameras were developed for recording micrographs on photographic film. Standard photo processing techniques at that time required immersion of film in the development of chemicals, causing some delay than the image could be analyzed.
Digital photography techniques have changed microscopy and microscopic photography. Modern micrography can display microscopic material in real time while still under micrOskop. It is also possible to record video and integration with computer systems, which can help if a detailed image analysis is required. Crime Labs use such micrographs in finding trace evidence of crime scenes. This is probably the most famous use of phototomicroscopy, thanks to television criminal dramas.
However,microscopic photography has other applications and has resulted in progress in many scientific fields. For example, geologists are investigating microscopic soil samples to evidence of atmospheric and environmental conditions in various historical times. Medicine and immunology also depends on micro -photography for research, diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Electron microscopes use electrons rather than light to investigate the material, including cellular and molecular structures, with much greater magnification than conventional microscopes. Images created by electron microscopes are also called micrographs.
