"Telecentricity" is an important design feature of an optical system, in which all rays passing through the system are very nearly collimated and parallel to the optical axis in the image space, the object space, or both.

Gislao The optical microscope has been a standard tool in life science as well as material science for more than one and a half centuries now. To use this tool economically and effectively, it helps a lot to understand the basics of optics, especially of those essential components which are part of every microscope. http://www.leica-microsystems.com/science-lab/the-optical-microscope-some-basics/ Thu, 03 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200 Helmut Rühl Stereo microscopes are often nicknamed the workhorse of the lab or the production department. Users spend many hours behind the ocular inspecting, observing, documenting or dissecting samples. Which factors need to be considered when selecting... http://www.leica-microsystems.com/science-lab/factors-to-consider-when-selecting-a-stereo-microscope/ Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100 Daniel Goeggel Manufacturers digital cameras race to outdo each other with ever-increasing numbers of megapixels. The world record for professional medium format digital cameras has now surpassed 60 megapixels per shot using a very large and expensive sensor with a resolution of about 9000 x 6700 pixels. Each time you capture such an image you get about 180 MB of uncompressed data and even more if you switch to 16-bit per colour for full dynamic range. http://www.leica-microsystems.com/science-lab/digital-cameras/ Fri, 01 May 2009 00:00:00 +0200 Urs Schmid This article explains how to avoid the phenomen of "empty magnification" in microscopy. http://www.leica-microsystems.com/science-lab/beware-of-empty-magnification/ Sun, 18 May 2008 12:00:00 +0200 Dipl. oec.-troph. Anja Schué A study carried out jointly by Leica Microsystems and the Institute of Neuroinformatics at the University of Zurich and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology provided the basis for an innovation in stereomicroscopy: FusionOptics™. The significant performance increase attained by FusionOptics™ is highly valuable for everyday work at the microscope. http://www.leica-microsystems.com/science-lab/fusionoptics/ Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0200 Dr. Daniel Kiper, Dipl. oec.-troph.
