The difference between an orthogonal microscope and an inverted microscope
Because of the different nature of the object to be observed, so there is a big difference in the choice of microscope, usually used the most is the ordinary orthoptic microscope and inverted microscope, orthoptic microscope and inverted microscope: there are the following differences:
Orthostatic microscope is the most common microscope in the laboratory and classroom, its objective lens converter disc facing downward, the carrier stage in the objective lens below. When observing an object, the object to be observed is placed on the carrier stage, and the objective lens approaches the slide from above for observation. The working distance is relatively short, and the observation of sections, etc. is suitable for an orthostatic microscope.
In an inverted microscope, the objective lens is upwards and the stage is above the objective lens. This microscope is most suitable for observing living cells, because the working distance of an inverted biomicroscope is very short, and there is no way to observe living cells inside a petri dish. With an inverted microscope is different, just put the petri dish on the carrier stage can be observed, because the inverted microscope's optical path is rice, the spotting scope is on top, its working distance is long, can easily observe the living cells inside the petri dish.
