I have attached to this page a general purview of imaging with the light microscope. The text is designed to provide individuals with information on how the microscopes work, without excessive detail. For those who need more information about optical theory, there are many published sources of information that will expand significantly beyond my text pages. Press here to switch to Principles of Light Microscopy. An important part of my research efforts in the laboratory center on mechanisms that regulate progression through mitosis.
Mitosis is a dynamic process that is process that is best viewed in living cells.
