Ultramicroscope (Noun)
Meaning
Light microscope that uses scattered light to show particles too small to see with ordinary microscopes.
Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- Using an ultramicroscope allows scientists to visualize extremely small particles, even those in colloidal suspensions, by highlighting the light they scatter.
- Researchers developed the ultramicroscope in the early 20th century as an alternative to ordinary microscopes, enabling the observation of nanoscale particles.
- This breakthrough ultramicroscope employs cutting-edge technology that magnifies light-scattered signals to illuminate and display nanoparticles not seen by standard light microscopy.
- Experts designed a portable ultramicroscope capable of visualizing ultrafine particulates within real-time conditions and the rugged demands of the manufacturing process.
- High-sensitivity cameras equipped in ultramicroscopes utilize novel photomultiplication capabilities, letting analysts characterize complex specimens made of scattering light-micro objects unseen previously.
