- Apparatus:
- Include a block diagram of your microscope, including all optical elements and relevant distances. It is not necessary to document the details of the mechanical construction.
- Describe your design calculations and considerations.
- Why not put in a nice snapshot of your ‘scope? (optional, but certainly a cherished memory in the making)
- Magnification
- Procedure
- Document the samples you used and how you captured images (camera settings, software used, etc…)
- Data
- Include example images.
- Analysis and Results
- Report the nominal and actual magnifications and fields of view you measured for the three objectives in a table. Report the length and width of the FOV (in distance units), not its area (in distance units squared).
- Document the method you used to find magnification.
- List the error sources that contributed significantly to systematic error and uncertainty in your measurement. To the degree possible, quantify the type and magnitude of the error.
- Discussion (optional for magnification measurement)
- Explain any challenges you faced in the magnification measurement.
- Procedure
- Particle diameter measurement
- Procedure
- Document the samples you used and how you captured images (camera settings, software used, etc…)
- Data
- Include example images.
- Analysis and Results
- Report the average size of the microspheres in each sample and a measure of variation.
- Describe how you measured the microspheres.
- List the error sources that contributed significantly to systematic error and uncertainty in your measurement. To the degree possible, quantify the type and magnitude of the error.
- Discussion
- Explain any challenges you faced measuring the size of silica microspheres.
- How did your measurements differ from the manufacturer's specified values? What factors contributed to the difference?
- Procedure
