Microscope

Metallurgical microscopes, also referred to as metallographic microscopes, typically use one of four common methods of observation to examine the physical characteristics of Metallurgical samples: bright field, dark field, polarized light, or differential interference. The latest laser confocal method appeared in the last ten years. With a bright field serving as the basic core, the…

On compound microscopes, a microscope condenser is a glass lens or lens system that is situated beneath the stage. It collects light from the light source inside the microscope and focuses it into a cone-shaped light that shines on the specimen. For maximum resolution, the numerical aperture of the condenser should match or surpass that of the objective…

A powerful tool for determining the amount and distribution of particular molecules in a sample, a fluorescence microscope can be used to observe and quantify. There are lots of advantages of the fluorescence microscope. Fluorescence microscopy allows you to visualize structures and processes inside cells and tissues that are invisible under a traditional microscope. This opens…

Depending on the type of sample and the intended application, samples are prepared for fluorescence microscope. The quality of the sample preparation determines the quality of the images produced, hence it is important to understand the procedures for preparing samples for fluorescence microscope. All sorts of samples, however, follow a few standard procedures. 4 Steps to…

A stereo microscope is a versatile tool that can be used for a range of projects, including checking biological samples and electronic components. It can be challenging to decide which stereo microscope is best for you because there are so many different models available. By understanding the factors to consider when choosing a stereo microscope, you…
