Abstract
Section titled âAbstractâNowadays, microscopy is a widely used method for analyzing various materials. In our research, we use a developed two-channel fluorescence microscope to measure objects excited with two different wavelengths, e.g. fluorescent diamond powders with nitrogen vacancies. The results obtained were compared with images illuminated with white LED observed using a microscope in the transmission mode. The measurements yielded results with satisfactory resolution and image quality. Considering that the microscope built is a budget design, so it can be a cheaper alternative to commercial devices.
