Highlights: Curriculum uses videos, text, and assessment questions to explain how optics are used in basic microscopy and improve diagnostic imaging.
Abstract: Optical microscopy employs a wide range of techniques to the end of making the very small visually accessible for diagnosis and research. This would not be possible without an understanding of optical instruments and components. This curriculum provides context for the following concepts: refraction, lenses, image formation, diffraction limit, light absorption, fluorescence, traditional compound microscopes, confocal microscopy, time-lapse microscopy, and fluorescent dyes. The curriculum includes a manuscript, video series from a medical professional, video comprehension questions, and pre-lecture checkpoints and homework problems.
