Website Detail Page

written by Michael Davidson
This site is a large collection of high school curricular materials on optics and microscopy.  The site contains a timeline of events in optics, short biographies of important scientists, explanations of optical phenomena, and teacher resources.  Users can link to comprehensive tutorials on basic microscopy, digital imaging, optical microscopy, and more.  Text information is supplemented with innovative Java-powered virtual microscopes that allow users to explore focus, magnification, and translation in a real-life manner.

Please note that this resource requires Java Applet Plug-in.
