摘要:

光学是物理学的一个重要子领域,用于仪器设计,并用于各种其他学科,包括材料科学,物理学和生命科学,如发育生物学和细胞生物学。重要的是要教育学生从各种学科和背景的光学基础知识,以训练下一代跨学科的研究人员和仪器谁将推动发现的界限。在本文中,我们提出了一个实验系统开发,教学生在几何光学的基础知识,包括射线和波动光学。学生通过设计,建造和测试由零部件制成的自制光学显微镜来学习这些概念。我们描述了实验设备和基本测量学生可以执行学习的原则,技术,精度和测量的分辨率。学生找到放大倍率并测试他们构建的显微镜系统的分辨率。该系统是开放的,多功能的,允许先进的建筑项目,如落射荧光,全内反射荧光和光学捕获。我们已经在光学课程、高级实验室课程和研究生培训模块中使用了该设备。

英文摘要:

Optics is an important subfield of physics required for instrument design and used in a variety of other disciplines, including materials science, physics, and life sciences such as developmental biology and cell biology. It is important to educate students from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds in the basics of optics in order to train the next generation of interdisciplinary researchers and instrumentalists who will push the boundaries of discovery. In this paper, we present an experimental system developed to teach students in the basics of geometric optics, including ray and wave optics. The students learn these concepts through designing, building, and testing a home-built light microscope made from component parts. We describe the experimental equipment and basic measurements students can perform to learn principles, technique, accuracy, and resolution of measurement. Students find the magnification and test the resolution of the microscope system they build. The system is open and versatile to allow advanced building projects, such as epi-fluorescence, total internal reflection fluorescence, and optical trapping. We have used this equipment in an optics course, an advanced laboratory course, and graduate-level training modules.
