Heisenberg's microscope
Heisenberg's microscope exists only as a thought experiment, one that was proposed by Werner Heisenberg, criticized by his mentor Niels Bohr, and subsequently served as the nucleus of some commonly held ideas, and misunderstandings, about Quantum Mechanics. In particular, it provided an argument for the uncertainty principle on the basis of the principles of classical optics. Recent theoretical and experimental developments have argued that Heisenberg's intuitive explanation of his mathematical result are misleading()()(). While the act of measurement does lead to uncertainty, the loss of precision is less than that predicted by Heisenberg's argument when measured at the level of an individual state. The formal mathematical result remains valid, however, and the original intuitive argument has also been vindicated mathematically when the notion of disturbance is expanded to be independent of any specific state () ().
==Heisenberg's argument==

Heisenberg's argument can be found in ((Heisenberg 1930 )), and is summarized as follows. Heisenberg begins by supposing that an electron is like a classical particle, moving in the x direction along a line below the microscope, as in the illustration to the right. Let the cone of light rays leaving the microscope lens and focusing on the electron make an angle \varepsilon with the electron. Let \lambda be the wavelength of the light rays. Then, according to the laws of classical optics, the microscope can only resolve the position of the electron up to an accuracy of
:\Delta x = \frac. (())
When an observer perceives an image of the particle, it's because the light rays strike the particle and bounce back through the microscope to their eye. However, we know from experimental evidence that when a photon strikes an electron, the latter has a Compton recoil with momentum proportional to h/\lambda, where h is Planck's constant. It is at this point that Heisenberg introduces objective indeterminacy into the thought experiment. He writes that "the recoil cannot be exactly known, since the direction of the scattered photon is undetermined within the bundle of rays entering the microscope" (p.21). In particular, the electron's momentum in the x direction is only determined up to
:\Delta p_x \approx 2\frac\sin\varepsilon/2. (())
Combining the relations for \Delta x and \Delta p_x, we thus have that
:\Delta x \Delta p_x \approx \left( \frac \right)\left( 2\frac\sin\varepsilon/2 \right) = 2h, (())
which is an approximate expression of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
