Specification : Olympus 8x Eyepieces : Moticam 1000 Digital Camera with Software : 2 Original 35mm Camera's : Original Polaroid Attachment : 4x, 10x, 20x, 40x and 100x Objectives : Phase ... http://www.microscope-servicing.co.uk/2008/03/06/used-microscopes/ The RZ Series CMO Stereo Microscopes are advanced, high-performance, modular, stereo microscopes specifically designed with today's demanding microscopy applications in mind. Engineered around a common main objective and parallel optical paths, the RZ Series offers crisp, distortion-free, high-resolution images at magnifications ranging from 3.75x to 300x. The RZ features a 10:1 ... http://www.microscope-servicing.co.uk/2008/02/19/rz-series-stereo-microscopes/ Polarizing microscopes are extremely useful for specialized medical and industrial applications, such as identifying crystals or fibers suspended in liquid, identifying minerals in core samples and detecting defects in semiconductors or finding stress points in metal, glass and other materials. Meiji Techno offers the all new MX9000 series of polarizing ... http://www.microscope-servicing.co.uk/2008/02/18/polarizing-microscopes/ The IM7000 Series Inverted Metallograph can be used for a wide range of metallurgical applications because it uses incident brightfield epi-illumination. Each model has 30mm FN22 eyepieces, integrated front camera port, all new and improved infinity corrected optics, full Koehler 30W halogen illumination and a mechanical stage with with drop ... http://www.microscope-servicing.co.uk/2008/02/15/im7000-series-microscopes/ Transmitted light (or biological) microscopes shine light up through slide-mounted, translucent specimens from below. When you want to see surface features or specimens that are not translucent (such as minerals, ceramics, needles, catheters, integrated circuits, etc.) at high magnifications, you’ll need an incident light (or metallurgical) compound microscope that shines ... http://www.microscope-servicing.co.uk/2008/02/14/metallurgical-microscopes/ Unlike compound microscopes that give a 2-dimensional flat image, stereo microscopes give the viewer an "erect" (upright and un-reversed) stereoscopic (3-dimensional) image. This is particularly useful for biologists performing dissections, technicians repairing circuit boards, paleontologists cleaning and examining fossils or anyone who needs to work on small objects. From Archeologists ... http://www.microscope-servicing.co.uk/2008/02/11/em-stereo-microscopes/ Meiji Techno currently offers eight different series of upright compound biological (transmitted light) microscopes to meet the needs of hobbyists and elementary school teachers to university professors and life science professionals.
