Factors to consider when buying the right microscope
1. Before purchasing, you must first clarify what sample you want to observe.
Microscopes are classified according to their functions, generally including polarizing microscopes, metallographic microscopes, biological microscopes, stereo microscopes, etc. Microscopes with different functions have different usages and different scopes of application. For example, polarizing microscopes are mainly used in geological ore research, ** analysis, observing the structural details of crystalline inclusions, nerve fibers, animal muscles, plant fibers, etc. in teeth, bones, hair, and living cells, and analyzing the degeneration process. Metallographic microscopes are mainly used to observe, identify and analyze the internal structure of various opaque materials such as metals. It is suitable for factories, mines, universities, scientific research and other departments. Biological microscopes are mainly suitable for diagnosis, testing, teaching, research, etc. in the health field, schools, and scientific research units. Therefore, before purchasing, you should first clarify what sample you want to observe, so that the merchant can recommend a suitable microscope to you.
2. Whether a digital imaging device is needed
Nowadays, digital microscopes can be previewed synchronously in the computer, and the microscopic pictures can also be stored in the computer, and these microscopic pictures can be modified and edited, which is of great help to microscope users. Under normal circumstances, it is recommended to choose the digital imaging device.
3. What effect do you want to achieve when using it?
Many companies now use microscopes in product quality testing, but microscope salespeople may not necessarily understand their customers' products. Therefore, buyers should put forward their own requirements, such as how much magnification can be used to see the cracks on the surface of the product, or the structure inside the product, that is, what effect needs to be achieved.
4. What kind of incidental services do you want?
The microscope industry attaches great importance to technical services, and pre-sales and after-sales services must be in place. There are also related service terms such as delivery time, payment method, whether to install or not, which are all issues worth considering in advance.
