  • How to Choose a Camera for Fluorescence Microscope?

    The camera is an essential component of any fluorescence microscope because it captures images of the specimen for observation. The fluorescence microscope uses fluorescent molecules to make objects visible. Fluorescent molecules are excited by light and emit light at a different wavelength. The emitted light is usually invisible to the human eye, but it can be detected by a camera and used to produce an image.

  • What is a fluorescence filter?

    A fluorescence filter is an essential component in fluorescence microscope. A typical system has three basic filters: an excitation filter, an emission filter and a dichroic mirror. They are commonly packaged in a cube so that the group is inserted together into the microscope.

  • What is Fluorescence Microscope?

    A fluorescence microscope is a type of optical microscope that uses a high-intensity light source to illuminate the specimen and excite fluorochromes in the sample. The illumination of the specimen is usually done with a light source that emits ultraviolet light. They are widely used in biological, medical and industrial fields.

  • What is Polarizing Microscope?

    Polarizing microscope is a type of microscope that uses polarized light to study the optical properties of materials. It is mainly used in geological studies to study geological specimens. For this reason, it is also known as a petrographic microscope. Recently it has become more widely used in medical and biological research fields, too.

  • What is Metallurgical Microscope?

    A metallurgical microscope is another type of light microscope. These microscopes are different from the typical biological microscopes in that they use the principle of reflected light. They use vertical illumination, and the light source is inserted through a beam splitter into a microscope tube below the eyepiece. Light comes down through the objective and is focused on the specimen through the objective. Light reflected or scattered back to the objective lens is then imaged on the eyepiece.

  • What is Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy?

    Confocal microscopy is a technique in optical imaging that uses point illumination via a spatial pinhole to eliminate out of-focus signals. The excitation light in confocal microscopy is usually provided by a laser to generate high intensities of fluorescence or reflectance from the focal spot.
