Microscopes

Upright microscopes

Reflected light microscopy is the choice for imaging opaque samples. The sample is illuminated from above through the objective. Because light is unable to pass through opaque samples, it is directed on the surface and returned to the objective by reflection. >>Most common samples are : metals, plastic materials, wood, silicon, ceramics etc.

Inverted microscopes

Reflected light microscopy is the choice for imaging opaque samples. The sample is illuminated from above through the objective. Because light is unable to pass through opaque samples, it is directed on the surface and returned to the objective by reflection. >>Most common samples are : metals, plastic materials, wood, silicon, ceramics, rocks, etc.

Stereo microscopes

>>Stereo microscopes are designed for low power magnification, typically used to view whole samples or where any sample manipulation is required. >>This type of optical microscope uses separated optical paths which focus on the same point but from slightly different left and right eyes angles. This creates a stereo three-dimensional image of the sample.
