David Biss of Optikos walks through a brief history and primer on microscopy, which was largely unchanged until the last 70 years. With that backdrop, this presentation delves into common types of modern microscopy: confocal microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, multiphoton microscopy, and superresolution microscopy. He explores a comparison of similarities and differences between these modalities and considerations for selection. Attendees will learn that the optical principles of lens design for microscope objectives have not changed significantly over time, i.e., the importance of contrast and resolution. However, new microscopy modalities have improved the core principles to address specific market applications. Specifically, microscopy has evolved significantly from early single-lens devices to sophisticated techniques capable of observing individual molecules and complex biological processes. Key advancements include improvements in lens technology, the development of various light sources, the introduction of fluorescence microscopy, and the rise of super resolution microscopy techniques.
