microscopes have been used by scientists for

centuries, and are now more widely relied upon than

ever. optical microscopes are the most common

type of microscope found in a standard laboratory.

they use optical lenses in order to magnify the

image generated by the passage of a wave through

the sample or reflected by the sample.

the typical magnification that can be achieved

by a standard optical microscope in the visible

light range is up to 1500x, with a resolution limit

of around 0.2 μm. resolution is limited by the

wavelength of the radiation used. the spatial

resolution of an optical microscope can be

improved by using shorter wavelengths of light,

including ultraviolet radiation.

IntroductIon:

modern microscopes are available in two basic frame types: the upright and the inverted.

an inverted microscope has the illumination system above the stage and the lens system below the stage. inverted microscopes are suitable for looking through thick specimens, such as dishes of cultured cells, because the lenses can approach closer to the bottom of the dish where the cells grow.

• Motorizedthe motorized inverted microscope provides options such as a motorized condenser, fluorescence filter turret,

transmitted and reflected light shutters, and filter wheels.

• Non-Motorizednon-motorized inverted microscopes can be a cost-effective solution for routine use in many fields including

tissue culture, embryology, immunology and pharmacology.

MoticBA310 Advanced Upright Microscope

• Basic

the basic non-polarizing microscope offers lower magnification useful for many applications, including situations in which a greater area of the sample must be viewed simultaneously.

• Advanced

advanced polarizing microscopes are suitable for digital imaging, including options for fluorescence and darkfield.

they tend to offer magnification in the range 40x to 5000x for observational applications in cell biology, molecular pathology, cytology, pathology, genetics and neurobiology.

A Polarizinga polarizing microscope uses polarized light for investigating the optical properties

of specimens. it was originally used in petrographic and mineralogical research, although it has now come to be used in such diverse fields as biology, medicine, polymer chemistry, liquid crystals, magnetic memory and state-of-the-art materials.

B Non-polarizingnon-polarizing microscopes are the most common type of upright microscope, and have many clinical and biological applications, including cell biology, molecular pathology, immunology, veterinary, formulation science, cytology, histology,

microbiology, pathology and genetics.

uprIght

modern microscopes are available in two basic frame types: the upright and the inverted, with the upright microscope being the most common type. an upright microscope has the illumination system below the stage and the lens system above the stage. • Benchtop compound

benchtop microscopes are the work horses of laboratory microscopes. they have an enormous range of applications in biomedicine, metallurgy and industrial sciences.
