FAQ's of Compound Microscope:
Q: How do you adjust the illumination on the compound microscope?
A: The microscope features either a LED or halogen lamp equipped with adjustable brightness, allowing users to control illumination intensity according to the needs of their specimen. Adjust the brightness knob until the desired light level is achieved for optimal viewing.
Q: What types of specimens can be observed with this microscope?
A: This microscope is designed to accommodate standard glass slides (75mm x 25mm), which are commonly used for biological and material specimens in laboratory settings. The stage holds a single specimen at a time, making it suitable for educational, clinical, and research applications.
Q: When should I use the oil immersion lens (100X objective)?
A: The 100X objective lens is an oil immersion lens and should be used when you require the highest magnification and resolution for observing extremely fine specimen details, such as bacteria. Apply immersion oil between the lens and slide for effective use and clearer images.
Q: Where is this compound microscope best utilized?
A: This model is ideal for laboratories in schools, colleges, research institutions, and medical facilities. Its features and build quality are suited for a range of scientific, diagnostic, and educational uses in environments across India.
Q: What is the process for focusing a specimen sharply?
A: Start with the lowest objective (4X), use coarse focus to bring the slide into general view, then switch to higher powers and refine the image using the fine focusing knob. Adjust the condenser and iris diaphragm to enhance image clarity as needed.
Q: How does the Abbe condenser and iris diaphragm benefit observation?
A: The adjustable Abbe condenser concentrates light on the specimen, and the iris diaphragm regulates light intensity and contrast. Together, they achieve superior image clarity at different magnifications and sample types, facilitating detailed study of specimens.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this compound microscope in a laboratory?
A: The microscope offers high-resolution imaging, robust construction, and adjustable illumination, making it dependable for accurate specimen analysis. Its ergonomic design, manual controls, and range of objective lenses support versatile laboratory applications, ensuring precise and efficient work.
