    Troubleshooting Microscope Focusing(Page)

    There are several areas of the microscope that can be adjusted in order to troubleshoot microscope focusing. Depending on whether you are using a biological compound microscope or a stereo dissecting...

    Microscope Magnification Versus Microscope Resolution(Page)

    In microscopy there are two concepts that many people often think of as one concept, but they are in fact very different. These two concepts are microscope resolution and microscope magnification...

    Dissecting Microscopes(Page)

    Dissecting microscopes, also known as stereo microscopes, provide low-magnification, three-dimensional views of larger specimens and objects. While commonly used for biological dissection, dissecting...

    Industrial Microscopes(Page)

    Industrial microscopes are designed for precision inspection, measurement, quality control and analysis in manufacturing, electronics, engineering and other industrial environments. Unlike biological...

    Metallurgical Microscopes(Page)

    Metallurgical microscopes provide high magnification and resolution for samples that do not allow light to pass through them.

    Digital Capable Microscopes(Page)

    Digital microscopes are available in either high power (biological) or low power (stereo dissecting). A digital microscope typically has a microscope camera that connects via USB cable to a laptop or...

    Choosing The Right Microscope(Page)

    Microscopes vary based on what you need to accomplish. Some microscopes allow you to attach a microscope camera and capture images, while others will allow you to view specific types of substances...

    Microscope Illumination(Page)

    Not sure what kind of illumination is best for your particular microscope use? This page explains some of the differences between illumination options for microscopes. Tungsten Microscope...

    Video Microscopes(Page)

    There are several different setups for video microscopes which differ mostly based on the type of camera and the frames per second that the camera provides.

    Precision Measuring Microscopes(Page)

    Precision measuring microscopes are used for viewing and measuring opaque objects at high magnification.

    Microscope Maintenance Tips(Page)

    Routine optical and mechanical maintenance of compound microscopes can ensure that your microscope works well for years. The microscope maintenance information provided below is not meant to replace...

    Microscope Resolution(Page)

    Microscope Magnification and Optical Resolution A microscope's total magnification is a combination of the eyepieces and the objective lens. For example, a biological microscope with 10x eyepieces...
