Compound Microscopes An Essential and Affordable Apparatus

Compound Microscope An Essential and Affordable
Apparatus

• Compound microscopes are also known as
  Biological or High Power microscopes. They are
  used for viewing transparent specimens that are
  not typically visible to the naked eye.

2
Types Of Compound Microscope

• Standard Compound Light Microscope
• Inverted Compound Microscope
• Stereo Microscope
• Monocular Microscope
• Digital Microscope
• UV Compound Microscope
• The Fluorescence Microscope

3
Standard Compound Light Microscope

• An image of the specimen is enlarged by
  usually 10X with eyepiece lens and then it is
  further enlarged with objective lens fitted to
  revolving nose piece by 4X, 10X, 40X or 100X.

4
Inverted Compound Microscope

• Prevents the specimen from
• being touched by high-powered
• lenses and
• enables the examination
• of thicker and
• larger specimens

5
Stereo Microscope

• Enlarge the image of the specimen to about
  270X and creates 3-Dimensional image of the
  specimen unlike the standard compound microscope
  which produces 2-Dimensional image with the
  single lens.

6
Monocular Microscope

• In order to get a clear image of the
  specimen on the stage, a person needs to close
  one eye which can be a bit uncomfortable.

7
Digital Microscope

• Light source is above the specimen on the
  stage and image obtained is 3-Dimensional. Image
  is digitized and can be seen on a monitor or
  screen.

8
UV Compound Microscope

• Allows UV light to pass which produces
  resolution twice of the visible light. It uses
  mercury arc or xenon burner as a source of the
  light.

9
Fluorescence Microscope

• This modification of compound microscope
  excites fluorescence of the specimen by using UV
  light.
