Efficient Ways to Purchase a Microscope
Question 1: What is the sample you want to observe before purchasing?
Because microscopes are classified by function, there are generally polarizing microscopes, metallographic microscopes, biological microscopes, and stereo microscopes. Different functional microscopes are used differently, such as polarizing microscopes, which are mainly used for geological ore research, analysis, and observation of crystal inclusions such as teeth, bones, hair, and living cells, as well as structural details of nerve fibers, animal muscles, and plant fibers. , to analyze the denaturation process. Metallographic microscopes are mainly used in the observation, identification and analysis of internal structures of various opaque materials such as metals. It is suitable for factories, mines, enterprises, institutions of higher learning and scientific research departments. Biological microscopes are mainly suitable for diagnosis, testing, teaching, and research in the health field, schools, and scientific research units. Therefore, before purchasing, you should figure out what the sample you want to observe is, so that the merchant can recommend you a suitable microscope.
Question 2: How much is the budget?
Because microscopes are divided into domestic and imported ones, imported microscopes are generally more expensive than domestic ones with the same functions. If the budget is not high, domestic microscopes can also be considered. In fact, the optical performance of many domestic microscopes has been greatly improved. If they are not used in high-end research, domestic microscopes can also meet the requirements.
Question 3. Do I need a digital imaging device?
Because the digital microscope has become a big selling point in the microscope industry now, it can realize synchronous preview in the computer, and can save the microscopic pictures in the computer, and can modify and edit these microscopic pictures, so that microscope users It will help a lot. Under normal circumstances, we still recommend that you choose the part of digital imaging device.
Question 4: What effect do you want to achieve? How many times do you want to magnify, etc.
Many companies now use microscopes in product quality testing, but microscope sales staff do not necessarily understand customers' products. Therefore, buyers can put forward their own requirements with suppliers, such as how many times to zoom in, can see the cracks on the surface of the product, or need to see the internal structure of the product, etc., that is, what effect needs to be achieved.
