ISO 10934 specifies terms and definitions to be used in the field of light microscopy and advanced techniques in light microscopy. A light microscope is a biology laboratory instrument or tool that uses visible light to detect and magnify very small objects and enlarge them. They use lenses to focus light on the specimen, magnifying it thus producing an image. The specimen is normally placed close to the microscopic lens.
ISO 10934 on light microscopy is useful for:
Microscopic magnification varies greatly depending on the types and number of lenses that make up the microscope. The functioning of the light microscope is based on its ability to focus a beam of light through a specimen, which is very small and transparent, to produce an image. The image is then passed through one or two lenses for magnification for viewing. ISO 10934 specifies the vocabulary and definitions relating to light microscopy.
ISO 10934 is very useful to understand the functioning of light microscopes and perform your task efficiently.
ISO 10934:2020 supersedes BS ISO 109341:2002 and BS ISO 109342:2007, which are withdrawn.
The main changes are as follows:
