Light Microscopy
Principles of Light Microscopy
The materials presented here contain basic information about the physics of light, the optics of lenses and the components of a microscope.
Materials from the Peter Evennett Course

Illumination
This section contains information about proper illumination of your sample in the microscope and details on one method termed "Köhler Illumination".

Theory of Image Formation
This section describes how the microscopical image is formed by diffraction and what consequences (like resolution) arise from that.
Materials from the Peter Evennett Course
A video by Peter Evennett showing Abbes diffraction experiments can be found here or on Vimeo (in HD).
