Microscope Knowledge Center

There are many types of microscopes. How do you identify and choose the one that suits you? Let's take you to understand the names and classifications of monocular, binocular, biological, three-dimensional, metallographic, fluorescence, etc., and let's explore the world of microscopy together!

1. A complete guide to biological microscopy

A microscope suitable for observing flat structures and has a high magnification. The object to be measured needs to be made into a light-transmitting sheet before it can be observed. It is often used in biological research to observe cells, bacteria and microorganisms.

2. A complete guide to stereomicroscope

Different from the inverted imaging of a compound biological microscope, a stereomicroscope has separate left and right objective lenses and eyepieces, which independently produce upright and magnified images for the left and right eyes. Together with binocular observation and brain synthesis, a solid picture with a three-dimensional feel is produced.

3. Observation with binocular microscope

Some compound (biological) microscopes also have binocular observation heads. What is the difference between them and binocular stereo microscopes?

4.Stereomicroscope

Stereo microscope is also called solid microscope and dissecting microscope. Different from the inverted imaging of a compound microscope, a stereoscopic microscope has separate left and right object and eyepieces, which produce upright magnified imaging in the left and right eyes respectively, and can obtain a solid picture with a three-dimensional sense.

5.Microscope maintenance services

Shangchen Optical's "technical engineering team" has accumulated more than 20 years of experience in the sales and service of microscopes and telescopes, and has a high degree of mastery of the details of optical instruments to help you solve any difficult and complicated problems with microscopes.

6. Digital microscope magnification calculation

If the optical microscope is equipped with a microcamcorder (CCD/CMOS photography device or digital camera), since it is no longer observed through the eyepiece, how to calculate the actual magnification?

7. Can you tell the difference? Olympus SZ40 VS. Brother model (copycat version?)

In fact, there are many imitations of this type of microscope, and there are even many second- and third-generation copycat products that are so well done that they are copied by copycat factories. Today, with the development of online shopping, you need to be cautious when purchasing precision optical products. It is best to go to an experienced and reputable store for the safest option.

8. Differences between LED63 series ring lights and traditional tube ring lights

There are many forms of light sources used with microscopes. What is the difference between traditional tube ring lights and LED bulb ring lights?

9. How to use UPN fast mobile phone photography mount

Shangchen has professionally developed a mobile phone photography gimbal, which can firmly fix the mobile phone and correctly place the lens at the ideal back focus position of the microscope. Use the shooting function of the mobile phone to wonderfully reproduce the microscopic world.
