Key Classifications and Core Application Fields of Inverted Microscopes
Classified by usage: inverted biological microscope, inverted metallographic microscope, inverted polarizing microscope, inverted fluorescence microscope, etc
Classified by eyepiece type: monocular inverted microscope, binocular inverted microscope, triple inverted microscope. Among them, the triple inverted microscope, in addition to the two eyes used for binocular observation, also has one eye for external computer or digital camera that can be connected to a camera device. It can manually observe microscopic images, and can conveniently observe microscopic images on a computer monitor at any time. It can also capture and record observation images at any time for analysis, processing, etc., and can also save or print high-resolution image photos.
The application field of inverted biological microscope: The biological microscope with a stage on the objective lens, equipped with a long working distance spotlight, a long working distance flat field achromatic objective lens, and a phase contrast device, can be used in various culture dishes and bottles, especially suitable for microscopic research of living cells and tissues, fluids, sediments, etc. This instrument can be used in scientific research, universities, medical care, epidemic prevention, agriculture and animal husbandry departments. Inverted microscope is used by medical and health units, universities, and research institutes for the observation of microorganisms, cells, tissue culture, suspensions, sediments, etc. It can continuously observe the process of cell proliferation and division in the culture medium, and can capture any form during this process. Widely used in fields such as cytology, parasitology, oncology, genetics, industrial microbiology, botany, etc.
Inverted metallographic microscope is widely used in schools, industrial and mining enterprises and other departments to identify and analyze the microstructure of metal and alloy materials. It can also be used for general metallographic identification of heat-treated materials.
Polarization microscopy is a type of microscope used to identify the optical properties of material microstructures. Mainly used for studying transparent and opaque anisotropic materials. Substances with birefringence can generally be observed using this microscope. Polarized microscopes are widely used in fields such as minerals and chemistry, such as in botany, for identifying fibers, chromosomes, spindles, starch granules, cell walls, and the presence of crystals in cytoplasm and tissues. In plant pathology, the invasion of pathogens often causes changes in the chemical properties of tissues, which can be identified by polarized light microscopy.
Fluorescence microscope uses ultraviolet light as the light source, usually illuminating the object being inspected (falling light type) to emit fluorescence, and then observing the shape and position of the object under the microscope. Fluorescence microscopy is used to study the absorption, transport, distribution, and localization of substances within cells.
