Buyers Guide
Purchasing a microscope can be a bit confusing if you don’t have background knowledge about its basic parts or specifications. This guide can help you to get an idea about how to buy a microscope that can meet your requirements to the maximum.
There is a multitude of options available in today’s modern era, from monocular to trinocular microscopes, compound microscopes, and digital microscopes. Some of them are high power and others have low magnifying power.
What is your purpose for buying a microscope should be the question you should ask yourself. Do you need to study histology samples, microbiology slides, or are you setting up a diagnostic laboratory? Different microscopes have varying magnification power. The smallest magnifying power is 40X which is enough to magnify a histology slide whereas the highest magnifying power of 2500X can view cellular organelles.
Below are some factors to consider while buying a microscope:
Magnification
Biological microscopes have high magnifying power and can be a bit complex to operate. You need an expert to use it and prepare slides whereas the stereo microscope is easily operable and adjusted.
Microscope Head
Biological microscopes have three head options i.e monocular, binocular, and trinocular. School labs and young students prefer monoculars whereas adults or lab technicians are more well-adjusted with binoculars. Trinocular allow the user to connect a camera to take live pictures, which can be used in lectures, demonstrations, or presentations.
Focus
The less advanced microscopes have a coarse (fixed) focus and can’t be adjusted to viewers’ eyes. If you are a beginner or a student, coarse focus can be enough for you to do your lab practicals. The more advanced biological ones have a fine focus, a small focus knob is installed to adjust the lens accordingly.
Light Source
There are many factors to consider while selecting a microscope and the important one is to know the type of their light source like LED, halogen, fluorescent, etc. Whether you need a warm, yellow light or a white light with little heat emission.
Microscope Stage
The stage is the disc where the specimen is placed for viewing. Usually, the conventional microscopes have a small stage, whereas the more advanced ones can have a large microscope stage. For example, to view a slide of dartling microorganisms like vibrio you need a large stage to observe their motility.
Portability
Size and weight should be considered while maximizing portability. Moreover, the newest ones are voltage powered so they can be even carried outside or for fieldwork as well.
