Is it possible to modify a light microscope into a fluorescent microscope?

Most microscopes for fluorescent techniques can also be used for regular optical viewing.  Just make sure that the exact model you get has both types of light sources that you require.

No it can come out very different, depending on the materials involved.\n\nThe light can come out a different color. \nThe light can come out a different amplitude. \nThe light can come out in a different direction. \nThe light can come out with a different polarization.\nThe light can come with a phase lag.

they are cheap compare to electron microscope.\nbut there is limitation of zooming large.

one way is chlorophyll fluorimetry,a method of studying light absorption by photosynthetic pigments in marine algae.\nthis sight might help good luck.

The manufacturer may be able to supply you with the spectral analysis for a particular light source.  For example flourescent bulbs use UV to cause phosphors to emit light and may absorb most or all the UV in the process.

The above link lists the five basic types of instruments that are called "microscopes"; but each of them has many variations. For example, the compound microscope includes stop contrast, phase contrast, differential interference contrast, darkfield, and fluorescence microscopes, to name a few.  There are also atomic force microscopes and scanning tunneling microscopes that are variations on the transmission electron microscope, xray microanalysis microscopes that are variations on scanning electron microscopes, etc., etc.

if you need to see bacterial morphology, it's probably 100x objective (total magnification = 1000x).  This would be under oil immersion.  This is the only magnification i know of that comes standard on a compound microscope that would allow you to see bacterial morphology clearly....anything lower (ie-400x) and you won't be able to see much more than some tiny speckles on a slide.

C\n\nThe ribosomes are far to small to see with a ligh microscope. Under an electron microscope, they look like tiny dots (of whatever color you stained them).\n\nAlso, you won't be able to make out the details of the cell membrane either, only that it exists.

Well, I don't think it was discovered, but rather developed (or invented)... here's a quote:\n\nPrior to 1930, all microscopes were optical. In 1931, German physicist Ernst Ruska developed the electron microscope that used a beam of moving electronics to illuminate an object instead of light. Magnetic lenses or electric coils produce magnetic fields to deflect the electrons in the same manner that glass lenses bend light rays. The specimen has to be in a vacuum, however, because electrons cannot travel through air. Electron microscopes give point-to-point resolutions of less than 0.2 nanometers. This high resolution permits the direct visualization of many molecules and some atoms.

You can use a regular camera, but only if your microscope comes with a place to attach the regular camera. Basically all research quality microscopes do have a place where you can attach either a digital or a camera which uses film as long as it is a SLR camera and you can take the camera lens off (you basically attach the microscope instead of the lens in front of your camera). If you use a film camera, you may have to work out proper exposure times and be very careful with proper focusing. With a digital camera it is easier to check as you can look at the image you just took if it came out OK. Normally you can also attach digital cameras to a computer and see a large version of the image you took on the computer screen. \nYou won't get any good images holding a regular camera in front of an eyepiece like where you put your eye. For one thing it is difficult to hold the camera consitently in the correct place. Another is that light falling in from the side will be bad for the image quality. I think also the size of the image there may not be large enough to allow you to take an image of a high resolution.\nThere are also cameras you can buy which you can put onto your eyepiece instead of the ocular lens. They give decent images.

Most microscopes have lighting underneath the slide tray.  If the slide were opaque, not clear, you would not get sufficient lighting up through the slide and into the optics.

Some minerals may also be fluorescent under ultraviolet light, that is they absorb UV light and emit in the visible. Other optical properties such as index of refraction and pleochroism (differential light absorption) require an optical microscope to measure.  Certain minerals that display fluorescent properties also display a multicolored effect when having ample illumination with ultraviolet light.

put bacteria under a microscope and hook it\nup to a pc and project  it would be COOL!!!!!!!

See if these fit\n\n1) bright field\n\n2) cilia\n\n3) contrast? = staining

Using a set of callipers if the droplet is large enough. If not then using an eyepeice micrometer and a microscope.
