WHAT CAN BE SEEN UNDER A MICROSCOPE BESIDES WHAT IS ON THE SLIDE ITSELF? MANY MECHANICAL PIECES AND PARTS WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH ONE ANOTHER TO ALLOW THE NAKED EYE TO SEE SOMETHING THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE INVISIBLE. DEPENDING ON THE STRENGTH OF THE MAGNIFICATION, IMMERSION OILS MAY BE USED TO INCREASE THE RESOLVING POWER AND CLARITY OF THE IMAGE.
THE IMMERSION SERIES IS A THOUGHTFUL AND METICULOUS INVESTIGATION OF HOW IMMERSION OILS WOULD APPEAR AS THE SUBJECT SPECIMEN, RATHER THAN A VISUAL CONDUIT. MERGING SIMPLE ORGANIC SHAPES AND CURVES WITH KALEIDOSCOPIC SYMMETRY AND SACRED GEOMETRY, THE EFFECTS THESE OILS HAVE ARE MAGNIFIED TO BE OBSERVED IN PERCEIVED MICROSCOPIC DETAIL.
SIMPLE AND COMPOUND MICROSCOPES USE NUMEROUS LENSES, WHICH ARE USED TO MAGNIFY THE MICRO, AS ILLUSTRATED IN LENSES. THIS AND OTHER PIECES SHOW THE AMOUNT OF PRECISE DETAIL NEEDED FOR A MICROSCOPE TO SIMPLIFY FUNCTION. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEMS NEEDED IS A STEADY BEAM OF LIGHT FROM THE EYE TO THE OBJECT. AND SEEING IS EXACTLY WHAT MUST BE DONE TO EXPLORE, LEARN, AND DISCOVER THE UNKNOWN.
