Brewing Science

In the final episode of µBrews I demonstrate how digital imaging can be used to enhance your brewery records and to improve the rigor of cell counting.

In the penultimate episode of µBrews I cover dry mounts & staining. These are important tools for identifying organisms in your beer, and are the foundation of many advanced microscope-based assays.

This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to prepare a wet mount, the simplest and quickest way to look at a yeast sample.

Forming an artefact-free, high contrast image with a microscope can be challenging. In Episode 5 of µBrews I demonstrate how to align you microscope to produce the best images possible.

The third episode of µBrews walks you through how to focus your microscope how to change objective lenses without loosing the focus or damaging your lenses.

In the second episode of µBrews I’ll walk you through your microscopes optics & how they form an image.

In the first episode of µBrews I take you on a guided tour of your microscope, its parts, and describe how it forms an image.
