🔬 ZEISS has been making microscopes since the mid-19th century. After simple models (L: dissecting microscope, 1847), they developed compound microscopes (R: Bierseidel-Stativ, 1898). Ernst Abbe's work enabled theoretical calculations in microscope design starting in 1872 💪😀 Images are free for use.

During my most recent trip to Jena, I paid a visit to both #CarlZeiss and #ErnstAbbe's monuments again 😍 They are such inspiring individuals 👨🏻‍🎓 Learn more about the visionary entrepreneur Carl Zeiss & his legacy #microscopy #teamzeiss #zeiss #optics 😀👉 m.youtube.com/watch?v=1der...

My preferred way to gently clean mirrors: remove loose dust with a dust blower, remove the mirror from the holder, apply 1-2 drops of EtOH to the mirror surface, put a sheet of optical paper on the mirror, remove it by sliding it sidewise over the surface#microscopy #optics #photonics - DONE 🧼 🧽💪😀

To check whether the light enters the objective straight, I am using another useful tool that should be part of every optical lab: a long double pinhole, this time it is assembled with Thorlabs parts. The longer the double pinhole, the more precise your alignment will be #microscopy #photonics 🔬🔧💪😀

Are you using darkfield microscopy in your lab? I used it frequently to check the distribution of nanoparticles/fiducials for superresolution microscopy / SMLM / iPALM at Janelia - It’s such a powerful 💪 but underestimated microscopy technique 🔬😀

If you don't have fancy fluorophores around for science outreach events, a bottle of tonic water & a UV light source can be a great start as well to introduce students to the basics of fluorescence 🌈 🚀😎 #microscopy #optics #photonics - Please try to avoid the Jablonski diagram 😉👇

In 2021, Janelia’s Innovation Manager, Michael Perham, & I pitched a new Microscope Breadboard Laser Alignment Tool to Thorlabs & guess what, in 2022, it became part of their portfolio! 🤩 - Gosh, I am still so proud! #optics #openhardware #microscopy 😀👉 www.thorlabs.com/newgrouppage...

At ZEISS in Oberkochen, we have a stunning collection of old microscopes 🔬 in a place called Schatzkammer / treasury at the Carl Zeiss Museum of Optics / Microscopy - Although the origin of some of the 🔬 is unknown, they represent an essential part of tool development history & craftsmanship ❤️😀
