Welcome to Optical Microscope
An optical microscope is an instrument used to view the micro world. The microscope has multiple lens to pick up the image from the specimen and magnify it. An optical compound light microscope uses objectives on a turret that can be turned to select various powers of magnification. It compounds the magnification by use of the eyepieces which typically have a 10x or 16x magnification power. The resultant magnification is the multiplication of the objective power by the eyepiece power.
A similar system exists in the stereo microscope with but the objectives are different. The stereoscopic microscope consists of a pair of objectives, one designated for each eye. This is different from the compound optical microscope which has single objectives that split the image in a prism to go equally to each eyepiece in the binocular version. In the monocular optical compound microscope, there is only one eyepiece and no need to split the image. A stereo optical microscope can never be a monocular due to the definition of stereo. The stereo allows totally independent light paths to the specimen so must have two eyepieces. They may also have a third port on top for microphotography, thus being called a trinocular optical microscope. Oftentimes, cameras or video equipment will be attached to the top trinocular port. The most common attachment nowadays is the USB computer connnected digital camera. This is a simple eyepiece camera that fits into the phototube of the trinocular port. It can also fit into the eyepiece opening of a binocular or monocular version if the microscope has no dedicated photo port. This camera converts a simple optical microscope into a fully computer connected digital microscope via the USB camera. Only a few years ago, this could have only been done through expensive electronic equipment.
If you are in the market for an optical microscope, please check out our product line. We carry a wide variety of different types of microscopes to fit the most exotic applications and discriminating customers. Select from our version of student microscopy equipment to realize great savings of price for those on a budget looking for a cheap bargain. The student models often are monocular, having only the single eyepiece. The student compound light microscopes may be as simple as having only three objectives. Spend a little more and you will get the 4 objective versions that have the 100x oil immersion objective for use in examining the detailed cellular structure of plants and animals, as well as looking at human blood under the microscope.
For higher grade models, we offer medical microscopes that can be used for clinics as well as research in universities and laboratories. For the specialized microscopy equipment, we can provide that as well, and at a price even your accounting department will enjoy. We often have science educators question us about our microscopy products, wondering why we can offer similar products that cost much more elsewhere. Oftentimes, these science school equipment suppliers are charging the schools two or three times more than our prices. Rest assured that all of our microscopy science equipment is guaranteed to meet all of your needs. We carry a full money back guarantee on all products as well as offer a warranty in case you need microscope repair or parts and accessories for a microscope. Whatever your needs are for an optical microscope, please contact us today regarding how we can be your science microscope supplier.
