FAQs
Which microscope is better for my application – an upright and inverted microscope?
The choice between an upright and inverted microscope depends on your specific application. An upright microscope is ideal for observing thicker/opaque specimens and three-dimensional samples. It is also optimized for bright field imaging with color cameras and for fixed fluorescence samples. Inverted microscopes are better suited for live cell imaging and studying specimens in well-plates, petri dishes, culture dishes and flasks.
Can I use industrial and materials upright microscopes for tasks requiring detailed inspections and documentation of results, and are they adaptable for different applications?
Absolutely, our industrial and materials upright microscopes are designed to provide exceptional insights into fine details. They can be tailored to your specific needs with options like high-quality LED illumination, ergonomic accessories, advanced digital cameras, and user-friendly software, making them versatile and suitable for the best of your application.
What role do microscope optics play in achieving excellent optical quality, magnification, and a clear field of view, as well as accurate color reproduction in upright microscopes?
Microscope optics are crucial components for ensuring excellent optical performance. With high quality optics, the instrument will provide the user with clear 2- and 3- dimensional images of samples. By offering a range of objectives, the magnification best suited for each sample can be chosen. With a wide field of view, spatial information can be preserved and with mosaic imaging, large sample areas can be imaged. With the correct microscope optics, the sample detail is seen, allowing for precise sample observations.
