A significant percentage of technical experts who employ optical microscopes have had little or no formal training in optical microscope basics. Some, typically, were required to use microscopes during their technical education but, in general, microscope terminology and technology was a sideline to their major training. As a result, many useful basic microscope technical details were not learned because they were not necessary to accomplish what was needed in order to survive their major class work. At Florida State University, we try to make the [earning of microscope technology an inherent part of the students training. An important part of this training is this compendium of 50 of the most frequently asked questions about Optical Microscopy.
