Aart Bik's MicroScope Page
AmScope
Aart Bik owns an AmScope microscope
that is used for some occassional exploration of the small and tiny.
For example, did you ever wonder what an Android phone screen looks like
under a microscope? Of course you did! The picture to the right shows that
what looks white to the naked eye is, in reality, when magnified, a large field of
RGB (red-green-blue) elements, shaped differently for various types of devices.
Other colors are, of course, obtained by adjusting the brightness of each
RGB element appropriately, as illustrated in this picture too.
When Aart is done using the microscope to magnify tiny objects that are near,
he sometimes uses a Meade ETX-90EC telescope
to magnify large objects that are far away,
