The light or optical microscope is the most common type of microscope, using glass lenses to focus beams of visible, infrared and ultraviolet electromagnetic radiation for imaging and compositional analysis at a typical resolution of 0.2 µm. Superresolution or sub-diffraction techniques can now resolve fluorescent objects below 50 nm.

M&A Facebook Group
The M&A Facebook group aims to provide an informal resource for microscopists to keep up-to-date with what's happening at M&A, and also a forum to facilitate discussions centred upon areas of interest such as SPM, electron and light microscopy.
This is the place to meet the M&A team, make new contacts, find details of shows we are attending and learn about other events in the microscopy world.
