Talk Summary
Since its invention in the 17th century, microscopy has revolutionized our understanding of the world, allowing us to observe structures invisible to the human eye. In this talk, we will take a historical journey through the major milestones of optical microscopy, from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek’s early experiments to modern innovations that have taken this technique to new limits of resolution and application. We will explore the fundamentals of optical microscopy, including the principle of image formation, the importance of diffraction, and improvements in illumination and contrast that have revealed previously unattainable details.
