Lab Microscopes to Serve Different Purposes
Laboratory microscopes can be categorized based on the purpose they serve such as medical, educational, fluorescence and stereo inspection. Each category serves a specific purpose. For instance, a professional-grade medical microscope is a highly durable instrument with state-of-the-art features built to serve the needs of physician and veterinarian clinics, as well as universities and medical schools.
Educational microscopes are less expensive than their medical lab counterpart. They also come with a large stable frame for durability and years of use. They are versatile instruments that can be used in less formal settings as well as in classrooms.
Fluorescence microscopes are multipurpose instruments designed for expanding health needs. With integrated LED, technology for both bright field and epifluorescence microscopy, this lab instrument offers superior clarity and crisp imaging. It is ideal for viewing a wide range of pathogens including those indicative of respiratory and autoimmune diseases. It is widely used to serve the requirements of specialties such as rheumatology, pathology, gynecology, and nephrology.
Stereo inspection microscopes feature a bright fiber optic illuminator, long working distance, and wide zoom range that allows a full field of view at lower magnifications and a close up inspection at higher powers. They are ideal for dental clinics and industrial settings. The video zoom can produce 3-dimensional images through the eyepieces and display the work on the screen. The camera can plug into any TV, VCR, projector, or computer at the same time.

Purchasing Laboratory Microscopes
When you are planning to purchase laboratory equipment, the first thing you should do is to find a reliable dealer. Compare products and cost. Look for branded equipment from names such as LW Scientific and Unico. See if the microscopes are offered at competitive prices. Check out warranty, durability. post-sales support offered by the dealer. Make sure you choose the type of microscope that best serves your lab’s requirements.
