Main Classification and Application Fields of Inverted Microscopes
Classified by purpose: biological inverted microscope, metallographic inverted microscope, polarized inverted microscope, fluorescence inverted microscope, etc
According to the types of eyepieces, they can be divided into monocular inverted microscopes, binocular inverted microscopes, and three inverted microscopes. In addition to the two eyes used for binocular observation, the three inverted microscopes are also used for external computer or digital camera connection. They can be used to manually observe microscopic images and conveniently observe microscopic images on computer monitors, and can capture and record observation images at any time for analysis of observation images, Processing, etc., can also save or print high pixel image photos.
The application field of inverted biological microscope: The biological microscope with the stage above the objective lens is equipped with a long working distance condenser, a long working distance flat field achromatic objective lens, and a phase contrast device. Therefore, various culture dishes and bottles can be used, especially suitable for microscopic research on living cells and tissues, fluids, sediments, etc. This instrument can be used by scientific research, universities, medical, epidemic prevention, agriculture and animal husbandry departments, Inverted microscope is used by medical and health institutions, universities, and research institutes to observe microorganisms, cells, fluids, tissue cultures, suspensions, sediments, etc. It can continuously observe the process of cell and sediment reproduction and division in culture medium, and can capture any form during this process. Widely applied in fields such as cytology, parasitology, oncology, immunology, genetic engineering, industrial microbiology, botany, etc.
Inverted metallographic microscopes are widely used in schools, industrial and mining enterprises, and other departments to identify and analyze the microstructure of metal and alloy materials, as well as to identify the general metallographic structure of heat treated materials.
Polarization microscopy is a type of microscope used to identify the optical properties of fine structures of substances. Mainly used for studying transparent and opaque anisotropic materials. Generally, substances with birefringence can be observed using this microscope. Polarization microscopy is widely used in fields such as minerals and chemistry, such as in botany, such as identifying fibers, chromosomes, spindles, starch granules, cell walls, and whether crystals are present in cytoplasm and tissue. In plant pathology, the invasion of pathogens often causes changes in the chemical properties of tissues, which can be distinguished by polarizing microscopy.
Fluorescence microscope is a device that uses ultraviolet light as the light source, usually irradiating the object being tested (drop type) to emit fluorescence, and then observing the shape and location of the object under the microscope. Fluorescence microscopy is used to study the absorption, transportation, distribution, and localization of intracellular substances.
