Comprehensive Solutions for Microscopy
Which type microscope is best suited for your needs? Binocular or Trinocular Which one to choose really depends on your specific application, working environment, and subject matter you wish to view. Before making a purchasing decision you should ask yourself a few basic questions. How will this microscope be used? Will you need to view a subject only? View and capture images, or will you need to view, record, document and share your findings with others? How large an area will you need to view at any given time, and at what magnification? Consider the operational environment the system will be used in. Will it be a scientific lab, a production floor environment, (with ESD controls) educational institution, clean room or used by a hobbyist? This is a good time to consider and understand the surface characteristics of your subject/sample being studied. Does your task involve viewing samples of slides, live specimens, or are they components or sub assemblies? Another contemplation is the type of illumination source that will best highlight your subject. Do you need diffused or directional lighting or filtered illumination or a combination of all three? Backlighting, polarizers and color filters should also be considered. Another key element to bear in mind when purchasing a system is its working distance (this is the point between bottom of optics to surface of subject). Working distance is as vital to system performance and customer satisfaction as objective lenses, lighting and filters. If you require an outstanding working distance see our video microscope, The Saturn.
