Immersion Oil and the Microscope

Since the microscopist's major field of interest is the application of microscopes and related equipment, the fields in which the instruments are used are, in a sense, secondary. However, many scientists, having selected a field, find the use of a microscope a necessity but secondary to their major field of ...

Introduction to Optical Liquids

Any liquid can be used for its optical properties, but in practice the need for stability, low toxicity, system compatibility, transparency, and low cost in addition to specific refractive index and dispersion values would make finding a suitable liquid for an application an enormous and complicated task, if Cargille Laboratories ...

Quality to the Core - Ensuring Sapphire Crystal Quality for LED Applications

Sapphire is the preeminent material for LED epi-ready wafers because of its approximate lattice match to that of GaN, and its cost benefit relevant to that of native substrates. The growth of the LED market, driven by increasing demand for applications such as commercial and residential lighting, is increasing demand ...
