What Is Photomicrography?

Photomicrography is a method of taking pictures through a microscope. Animal and plant quarantine is one of the indispensable means of scientific research, exchange of experience, and arbitration negotiations. To achieve good microphotographic results, the most important thing is to have good microscope equipment and good microscope operation skills.

Photomicrography is an aid

Photomicrography seems to be far away from people's lives, in fact it is widely used in biomedicine

Although the term "photographing" is also used in microphotography, it is actually quite different from traditional photography. The light source for photomicrography is very unique. Traditional photography generally uses natural or artificial light sources, such as spotlights, incandescent lamps, etc. The microscope requires light sources such as lasers, mercury lamps, halogen lamps, LED lamps, etc. Light source requirements are more stringent. The second difference is the method of shooting. In the past, when people took photos, they only needed to press the shutter to form an image. However, modern photomicrography has benefited from the rapid development of electronic photosensitive elements and computer technology. It is not controlled on the microscope body. Shoot, but complete the photo process on the computer through software.

In addition, unlike the traditional optical lens of photography, the lens of microphotography is a professional objective lens composed of several lenses, which can magnify the subject and observe microscopic objects. In addition to the differences in software and hardware, photomicrography is also "unique" in terms of criteria for judging works. Modern people often pursue "perfection" when taking pictures. The camera's built-in filter function and post-editing software take turns to play. Photomicrography is just the opposite. Pursuing 100% restoration of truth, no matter the shape, quantity, or color of the object, it strives to present it "authentic". Excessive modification is a fatal flaw in the evaluation of works. However, this does not mean that microphotographic works do not consider aesthetics. The photographer can enrich the colors of the picture by staining the specimen in the early stage. While sharing the microworld, the science and art are perfectly combined.
