What is the application scope of stereomicroscope?
Stereoscopic microscopy is mainly used for macroscopic observation, while metallographic microscopy, polarizing microscopy, etc. are used for microscopic observation. The specific applications are mainly divided into two major fields: materials science and biology.
In terms of biology, it is mainly applied to research in zoology, botany, entomology, histology, dermatology, etc.
In terms of materials science: non-ferrous steel, electronics industry, mineralogy, archaeology, geology, etc
Suitable for micrometer level failure analysis, fracture detection, inspection of electronic industry production lines, calibration of printed circuit boards, calibration of welding defects (printing misalignment, edge collapse, etc.) in printed circuit components, calibration of single board PCs, and all fields with detailed observation of sample surfaces. With measurement software, various data can be measured.
What is the difference between a stereo microscope and other common types of microscopes?
1. Due to the difference in optical structure between stereo microscopes and ordinary optical microscopes, the imaging of stereo microscopes has a three-dimensional sense;
2. It appears to be upright and easy to operate, due to the prism below the eyepiece reversing the image;
3. Stereoscopic microscopes can achieve continuous magnification, typically ranging from 0.5 to 400 times, while metallographic microscopes and polarizing microscopes have an effective magnification of up to 1000 times
Although the magnification is not as good as conventional microscopes, their working distance is very long. Suitable for observing relatively high samples.
5. The field of view diameter is large, and the field of view range should be larger than that of metallographic microscopes and polarizing microscopes.
6. The depth of focus is large, making it easy to observe the entire layer of the object being tested.
7. The sample of the body microscope does not require sample preparation, and the main user analyzes the image information on the surface of the sample. Metallographic microscopy and polarizing microscopy both analyze the internal tissue structure of the sample, and the two have essential differences that cannot be replaced by each other.
The price and selection of stereo microscopes:
Compared to metallographic microscopes and polarizing microscopes, the price of stereo microscopes is much lower than the previous two. Due to the fact that stereomicroscopes are mainly used in various industrial and mining enterprises and have a relatively high inspection frequency, it is recommended to purchase products with superior optical systems, good mechanical stability, and ergonomic design.
