WordDefinition
interferogramnounAn image produced by using an interferometer.
interferometernoun(physics) Any of several instruments that use the interference of waves to determine wavelengths and wave velocities, determine refractive indices, measure small distances, temperature changes, stresses, and many other useful measurements.
mach-zehnder interferometernounA device used to determine the relative phase shift variations between two collimated beams derived by splitting light from a single source.
phase contrast microscopenounA microscope that uses the change of phase when light is transmitted or reflected from a transparent or reflective specimen to form an image; used especially to study living cells.
michelson interferometernounAn optical interferometer that uses a beam splitter to split a light source into two arms, each of which is reflected back toward the beam splitter which then combines their amplitudes using the superposition principle. The resulting interference pattern is typically directed to a photoelectric detector or camera.
microscopenounAn optical instrument used for observing small objects.
light microscopenounA scientific instrument which provides a magnified view of very small objects that are illuminated with visible light which then passes through optical lenses.
phase contrast microscopynounA form of light microscopy in which small differences in refractive index of a transparent specimen are converted into amplitude (contrast) differences in the final image.
immersion oilnoun(microscopy) A transparent oil of a specific refractive index and viscosity used to increase the resolving power of a microscope by filling the gap between the objective lens and the specimen.
phaseometernounAlternative form of phasemeter. [A device for measuring the difference in phase of two alternating currents of electromotive forces.]
transmissometernounAn optical instrument used to measure the transmission of light through a material; typically used to measure visibility through fog.

microscopynounThe use of microscopes.
photomicroscopynounThe use of a photomicroscope.
object findernounA device in microscopes for locating an object in the field before examination at higher magnification.
photomicrographnoun(photography) A photograph taken using a microscope.
microcatornounAn instrument used to measure very small differences in length
thermomicroscopynounA method for observing the phases of solid drug substances.
photomicroscopenounAn instrument (microscope plus camera) that is used for making photomicrographs.
diffractometernounA device that uses diffraction (especially X-ray diffraction) to investigate the structure of matter.
