Although, several methods are available to estimate glomerular numbers, most studies in the literature reveal a preference for the use of light microscopy (VADEN, 2005), eye loupe inspection (CIANCIOLO et al., 2013, LEES, 2011), and dissecting microscopy (WALKER, 2009), which indicates that some methods are more difficult for beginners and exhibit low reproducibility, as noted during glomerular enumeration using eye loupe inspection and dissecting microscopy.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the student's academic performance and perception by learning muscle tissue module in the histology unit, using as a study tool light microscopy and a web application created for histological analysis, in first year students of dentistry of the Universidad de los Andes, Santiago, Chile.
Although they described typical features of light microscopy as membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis or endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis, various histologic patterns have been reported.

In the first stage of analysis, light microscopy is used to examine intact vials for free floating particles with morphology consistent with glass delamination flakes.
Since scanning electron microscopy allows for clear observation below 1 |m (Figure 3), it would be useful in determining whether even very minute differences exist between species in surface morphology, as well as for providing new details of morphological features not visible by light microscopy.
Two different sources, and species, of abalone--wild (Haliotis rubra) and farmed (Haliotis laevigata)--were characterized structurally using light microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy.
Those cases were selected in which both light microscopy (LM) and immunoflorescence were done.
All joints were aspirated prior to starting antibiotics and samples were sent for gram stain microscopy, culture and antibiotic sensitivity, and polarized light microscopy.
The ability to use the Light Microscopy Module (LMM) on station will enable scientists to study data unaffected by re-entry.
With the help of a fluorescent protein, the different nerve connections could be stained and made visible by an advanced imaging technique that combines light microscopy with electron microscopy.
