Summary of five major issues that must be understood when purchasing a microscope
Question 1: Before purchasing, you should clarify what sample you want to observe?
Because microscopes are classified by function, they generally include polarizing microscopes, metallographic microscopes, stereo microscopes, biological microscopes, fluorescence microscopes, etc. Different functional microscopes are used in different ways. For example, polarizing microscopes are mainly used in geological ore research, research and analysis, and observation of the structure of crystalline inclusions, nerve fibers, animal muscles, plant fibers, etc. in teeth, bones, hair, and living cells. Details, analyzing the denaturation 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 medical diagnosis, testing, teaching, and research in the medical and health fields, schools, and scientific research units. Therefore, before purchasing, you should figure out what sample you want to observe, so that the merchant can recommend a suitable microscope for you.
Question 2: What is the approximate budget?
Because microscopes can be divided into domestic ones and imported ones. If the functions are the same, imported microscopes are generally more expensive than domestic ones. If your budget is not high, you can also consider domestic microscopes.
Question 3: Is a digital imaging device needed?
Because digital microscopes have now become a big selling point in the microscope industry, they can be previewed synchronously on the computer, and can save microscopic pictures in the computer, and can modify and edit these microscopic pictures, which is a great benefit to microscope users. It will be of great help. Under normal circumstances, we still recommend the optional digital imaging device.
Question 4: What effect do you want to achieve? For example, how many times do you want to enlarge it, etc.
Many companies now use microscopes in product quality testing, but microscope salespeople may not necessarily understand their customers' products. Therefore, buyers can put forward their own requirements with suppliers, such as how much magnification can be used to see cracks on the surface of the product, or whether they need to see the structure inside the product, etc., that is, what effect needs to be achieved.
Question 5. What kind of after-sales service do you want?
The microscope industry pays great attention to technical services. Pre-sales and after-sales services must be in place. Otherwise, it will be a big problem for microscope buyers. There are also relevant service terms such as delivery time, payment method, whether to install or not, which are all issues worth explaining.
