Abstract: A laser projection microscope operating at λ = 1.5 μ was built. The investigated object was illuminated and the brightness of the image was amplified using the active medium of a pulse barium vapor laser. The image was visualized employing anti-Stokes phosphors based on yttrium oxychlorides activated with ytterbium and erbium. Images of some microscopic objects, illustrating the capabilities of the instrument, were obtained.
