Advantages and Disadvantages

The YG0687-2 boasts several advantages, including its adjustable light source, wide range of magnifications, and high precision mechanical stage. The sliding binocular head and phase contrast system make it suitable for high-contrast imaging without the need for complex staining, ideal for observing living cells and delicate samples. However, the microscope’s 100x oil objective requires the use of immersion oil, which may add a step to the cleaning process after use. Additionally, while this microscope offers excellent optical clarity, it may not be suitable for very thick samples due to the limited penetration depth of phase contrast microscopy.

Use of the Product in the Field

The Phase Contrast Achromatic Microscope 40x YG0687-2 is designed for use in biological research, microbiology, and clinical diagnostics. Its phase contrast system makes it an excellent choice for observing living cells, microorganisms, and tissue cultures without the need for staining, which is particularly useful for cell biology studies and medical laboratory work.

Recommendations

To maximize the performance of your Phase Contrast Achromatic Microscope 40x YG0687-2, ensure that you clean the lenses and condenser after each use, especially when using the 100x oil objective. Regular maintenance, including cleaning the mechanical stage and adjusting the focusing mechanism, will help ensure long-lasting performance. Additionally, it is recommended to use the green filter when viewing certain samples to enhance contrast and image quality.
