Interactive Flash Tutorials

Nikon MicroscopyU interactive Flash and Java tutorials are designed to simplify and explain complex topics in microscopy, optics, digital imaging, and photomicrography. Each tutorial explores an individual topic and takes advantage of the powerful Flash technology to create interactive features that allow the visitor to change parameters and observe how this affects the phenomenon being studied. Use the links below to navigate to interactive Flash tutorials of interest.
