Boom Stand Stereo Microscopes

A stereo microscope is a very practical microscope and certainly a great starter microscope for students and beginners. It is ideal for dissecting or low power magnification views of specimens. 

Stereo microscopes with a boom stand are ideal for industrial inspection. Boom stand microscopes include single and dual armed stands or articulating arms usually averaging 20-50 pounds in weight. The benefits of having a microscope with an articulating arm are that you can move the microscope to just about any area of your work space for technical projects that require a larger work surface.

The main benefits of a boom stand microscope are:

• Extra work space
• Simple to use
• Increased working distance
• Increased field of view

Inverted Microscopes

Inverted Microscopes are not your conventional microscope, however, their purpose and functions are far more useful when observing live cultures and organisms. An inverted microscope differs from a conventional compound or stereo microscope because the lens is below the stage and the light source is illuminating from above instead of below the stage. Some of our inverted microscopes also have options for using a digital camera for viewing images on a TV/ PC. 

Inverted Microscopes are ideal for specimens that are larger, thick in consistency, multidimensional, or collect on the bottom of a flask or dish. Viewing techniques from an inverted microscope are extensive with bright field and polarized light observation capabilities.

Polarized Microscopes

Polarized microscopes are ideal for optical mineralogy because it makes the light contrast with the background and illuminate the sample strongly. Illumination with a polarized microscope is similar to that of a brightfield illumination microscope, however a polarized microscope can also distinguish between iso and anisotropic substances. Polarized microscopes provide very detailed images that help with mineral identification and characteristic analysis.

Polarized light occurs when light is absorbed by an object such as a mineral. A polarized microscope has a polarizer and an analyzer, both which work together they cross making no light pass through the microscope. The polarizer and analyzer are key pieces to a polarized microscope. Other accessories you may be interested in purchasing for your microscope include a specialized stage, stain free objective lens, revolving nosepiece, and a compensator.

Darkfield Microscopes

A darkfield microscope is when the background is dark and/or blacked out and the viewed image or specimen appears brighter in color and intensity. This type of microscopy is ideal for viewing live specimens, such as bacteria and blood cell samples. We have microscopes to suit your darkfield needs in microscopy. If you already have a microscope with us we also offer microscope accessories and supplies that can be incorporated into your existing compound microscope for darkfield capabilities. You can upgrade with a higher intensity light and illuminator. 

The way a darkfield microscope works is the light from the bottom of the microscope is blocked in between the condensing lens below the stage. This blockage of light allows for light to enter from the sides of the stage. The viewer will only see the scattered fragments of light illuminating the specimen; The background will appear dark. Advantages of darkfield microscopy are that you will get quality, high contrast images using cost effective equipment.

Selecting a Stereo Microscope

To select a stereo microscope you must consider these seven factors before deciding on which one is right for you. Keep in mind your specific microscope needs and/or wants prior to making your selection. Different fields of microscopy require different setting options, magnifications, and technical pieces and added accessories. 

1. Magnification

2. Zoom power

3. Eyepieces

4. Illumination

5. Lens Quality

6. Light Source

7. Accessories
