Digital microscopeA digital microscope is a variation of a traditional optical microscope that uses optics and a digital camera to output an image to a monitor, sometimes by means of software running on a computer. A digital microscope often has its own in-built LED light source, and differs from an optical microscope in that there is no provision to observe the sample directly through an eyepiece. Since the image is focused on the digital circuit, the entire system is designed for the monitor image. The optics for the human eye are omitted.
Calibration curveIn analytical chemistry, a calibration curve, also known as a standard curve, is a general method for determining the concentration of a substance in an unknown sample by comparing the unknown to a set of standard samples of known concentration. A calibration curve is one approach to the problem of instrument calibration; other standard approaches may mix the standard into the unknown, giving an internal standard. The calibration curve is a plot of how the instrumental response, the so-called analytical signal, changes with the concentration of the analyte (the substance to be measured).
Microscope à statif inverséLe microscope 2D à statif inversé permet une observation sur un plan focal. Indispensable dans cette discipline car les échantillons sont opaques, lourds et certaines fois indéplaçables. Leur surface est attaquée par un procédé chimique et polie pour être observée en réflexion. Reichert (Vienne) type MEF2 utilisé dans les années 1970-1980. Il permet en microbiologie d'observer des cellules vivantes en lumière transmise et/ou fluorescence.
