A
Guide to Microscopy and Microanalysis
A comprehensive annotated listing of sites in electron, light, confocal,
laser, scanning probe, nuclear magnetic, x-ray microscopy, image analysis,
nondestructive evaluation, spectroscopy, surface science.
Biological
Applications of Electron and Light Microscopy
A site devoted to links providing images taken with electron microscopes
of insects, worms, plants, cells, and microorganisms.
Histology
Part of the University of Kansas. Great source of histology slides
ranging from cell structure to human physiology.
History
of the Light Microscope
Learn about the history of light microscope from the creation of
the first lens to microscopes of the 19th century.
Images from the Microscope
Explore the world of optical microscopy. Check out the photo gallery and have fun with the virtual microscopy.
Magnetic Resonance Microscopy
MRM is basically MRI at a microscopic level. MRI can be accomplished at almost any hospital but for acquiring MRM data sets of the type we have worked with, there are only a few facilities world wide. All of our scans have been done at the Duke University Center for In Vivo Microscopy.
Microscopy-UK
From this home page you can visit image galleries, movies, 3D microscopy, books, projects, join the club and more.
Mimivirus - Unintelligent Design
With the recent discovery of a truly monstrous virus, scientists are again casting about for how best to characterize these spectral life-forms. The new virus, officially known as Mimivirus (because it mimics a bacterium), is detailed in this Discover article.
Scanning
Electron Microscope
Learn about how scanning electron microscopes work and view the
image gallery. There are also teacher resources on using microscopes
for in the classroom.
University
of Delaware - Histology
Mammalian Histology at the University of Delaware is taught at a
comprehensive level and concentrates heavily on human tissues and organ
systems. A sizeable collection of color light microscopic images as
well as black and white electron microscopic images have been archived
and can be accessed by links with this home page.
