Microscope Optical Components
Selected Literature References
The subject of microscope optical components has been reviewed on numerous occasions by a number of distinguished scientists. Many references are comprehensive and cover a majority of topics concerning lenses, principal planes, off-axis light rays, virtual images, and image planes. The list of reference materials provided in this section attempts to cover both early reviews and the latest information available on microscope the microscope optical train.
