Here, you will find a wide selection of microscopes, including biological, stereoscopic, and digital models. Our offer also includes sets of prepared slides, tools for creating your own slides, and microscope cameras compatible with both biological and stereo microscopes at various magnifications. Digital microscopes and microscope cameras allow you to capture images seen through the eyepiece, giving you the freedom to study them in detail later or print them to appreciate and admire the beauty of nature up close.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MICROSCOPES

MAGNIFICATION: The magnification you observe is the combined result of the eyepiece and objective lenses. Remember that as magnification increases, the field of view decreases accordingly.

ILLUMINATION: Illumination can be either incidental (from above), which is especially useful in stereoscopic microscopes, or transmitted (from below), suited for biological microscopes. Some models, such as the Diamond 5420, offer dual illumination for versatile usage.

FOCUSING: Precision focusing is essential for clear observations. For this reason, most of the microscopes feature dual focusing mechanisms: coarse (macrometric) and fine (micrometric) focusing.

ACCESSORIES: Microscopes can be equipped with many optional accessories and can be connected to a camera or a CCD camera for enhanced functionality.

RESOLUTION: Resolution is the microscope's ability to distinguish between two close points. Higher quality optics offer better resolution, making it easier to see fine details in specimens. This is especially important in biological research. Higher resolution provides greater detail and clarity in the observed image. It is influenced by the quality of the lenses and the wavelength of light used.

FIELD OF VIEW AND DEPTH OF FIELD: At lower magnifications, you will have a wider field of view and greater depth of field, which is helpful for examining larger objects or getting an overview. Higher magnifications narrow the field of view and depth, which is useful for studying fine details but requires more precise focusing.

WORKING DISTANCE: This refers to the distance between the objective lens and the specimen when it is in focus. A larger working distance allows for easier manipulation of the specimen, which is especially important in fields like dissection or microsurgery.

NUMERICAL APERTURE (NA): The numerical aperture of an objective lens affects the resolving power and brightness of the image. A higher NA allows for better resolution and brighter images, which is crucial for observing fine details.

OPTICAL QUALITY: The quality of the optical components, such as lenses and prisms, affects image clarity and color fidelity. Features like achromatic, semi-plan, or plan objectives correct for optical aberrations and improve image flatness across the field of view.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE: Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the microscope. Regular cleaning of lenses with appropriate materials, careful handling, and correct storage are essential practices.

ERGONOMICS: Comfortable use is important during prolonged observations. Features like adjustable eyepieces, tilting heads, and ergonomic design can reduce strain and improve the user experience.

STAGE CONTROL: Many microscopes feature a mechanical stage, allowing for precise movement of the slide to observe different areas of a specimen. This is particularly useful at higher magnifications, where even small movements can affect the view.

DIGITAL INTEGRATION: Many modern microscopes offer the ability to connect digital cameras or have built-in imaging systems. This allows for capturing images and videos, which can be useful for documentation, analysis, and sharing findings.

APPLICATION-SPECIFIC FEATURES: Depending on the intended use—such as biological research, educational purposes, or industrial inspection—certain microscopes come with specialized features like phase contrast, fluorescence, or polarized light capabilities.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT MICROSCOPE: Selecting the correct type of microscope is crucial. Stereoscopic microscopes are ideal for observing solid, three-dimensional objects, while biological microscopes are designed for thin, transparent specimens like slides of cells or tissues.

BUDGET AND SUPPORT: Consideration of the budget is important, but also factor in the availability of customer support, warranty, and the ease of obtaining replacement parts or accessories from the manufacturer.
