Molecular Expressions: Optical Microscopy Primer - Primary Colors

written by Michael Davidson, Kenneth R. Spring, Matthew J. Parry-Hill, and Robert Sutter
published by the Olympus America, Inc. and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory

This item is a tutorial for introductory physics students on the topic of color. It contains an introduction to primary and complementary colors and a section on basic physiology of human color perception. Also included are interactive Java tutorials that explore primary additives and subtractives, color separation, and color filters. This item is part of a larger collection of materials on optics and microscopy developed by the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and Florida State University.

Please note that this resource requires Java.
