Why Use This Microscope?
This microscope is well suited for viewing samples in dishes or mounted on non-standard slides or other formats that can not be used with the upright microscope. This microscope does not have immersion lenses and is not practical for quantitative or fast dynamic imaging.
Imaging Modes:
- Fluorescence
- Transmitted light (including phase and DIC)
Fluorescence Filters: (excitation/emission)
- UV/Blue (for blue dyes such as DAPI and Hoechst)
- Blue/Green (for green labels such as Cy-2 and FITC-like dyes)
- Green/Red ( for Cy-3, Texas Red, or Rhodamine-like dyes)
Objective Lenses:
- 10x / 0.25 N Plan Ph1 air
- 20x / 0.40 N Plan Ph1 air(corr)
- 40x / 0.55 N Plan Ph2 air(corr)
- 40x / 0.55 N Plan DIC air(corr)
