Microscope General Features__________________________________

Field Iris DiaphragmFor Koehler illumination in brightfield mode, but more importantly, for use in liveblood viewing in darkfield mode with the turret condenser. The field iris allows thetechnician to cut out reflected incident light giving a higher contrast darkfield imagewhile using the convenience of the turret condenser. This is standard on all of oursystems.

We also have an economy option condenser that is non-turret based. Using anAbbe condenser with interchangeable components, you can get brightfield, darkfieldand phase contrast by simply snapping the appropriate component into place. Thisis for individuals that do not want to compromise the high quality imaging offeredthrough our microscopes yet have limited funds available.

Dedicated Oil Darkfield CondenserWhen more stringent and finer light requirements are demanded for darkfieldapplication, a dedicated cardioid darkfield condenser with a numerical aperture of1.33 is available at economical cost.

Fiberoptic LightsourceFor uncompromising illumination, Biomedx systems provide 150 watts of lightcarried through a pure glass fiber optic cable directly into the microscope. Sincefiber optic technology was invented, it has been used to get bright light into smallspaces, and microscope illumination is one area it has been used extensively.

Microscope Base AssemblyThe Biomedx premium ergonomic microscope base unit includes an integratedstage with a wire drive smooth scroll x-y axis control, a field iris diaphragm, 5objective inward-facing nosepiece turret, focus stage lock and limit control withtension adjuster, special analysis wavelength filter holder, a built-in wide diameterglass fiber optic light guide, and an enhanced brass gear focus assembly upgrade.

Flexible Condenser AssembliesThis is the component that focuses the light onto the specimen being viewed. Ouruniversal turret condenser assemblies are the no hassle condenser for the operatorwho wants to easily move from brightfield, to phase contrast, to darkfield, to 3Dimaging with a simple turret rotation. This avoids the hassle of changing condensersbetween optical modes. Once these condensers are adjusted and locked into placethey are rock steady and hold their settings through continued use.

Our universal condenser is made of die cast metal and has 5 adjustable turretpositions. It includes a snap-in field expanding lens that offers a full field of viewwhen using a 2x wide field objective (preferred for some industry’s applications likeviewing dried layers of blood). The turret condenser with the included fieldexpanding lens is shown to the right.

Page 3: Biomedx Microscope Catalog

Infinity Corrected ObjectivesFor uncompromising quality all of our systems use the latest state ofthe art infinity corrected objectives (Olympus). The standard objectivesused with our typical systems include;

2x Plan Ach for brightfield dry layer, NA .05, WD 5mm,4x Plan Ach for brightfield dry layer, NA .1 WD 22mm,10x Plan Ach for brightfield dry layer, NA .25, WD 6.1mm,40x Plan Ach phase for live blood, NA .65, WD .45mm,100x Plan Ach phase oil for live blood, NA 1.25, WD .13mm,50x Plan Ach oil iris for darkfield live blood, NA .9-.5, WD .2mm,100x Plan Ach oil iris for darkfield, NA 1.25-.55, WD .13mm.

Depending on quality, some objectives can be priced as high as$12,000 just by themselves.

The objectives are placed into a turret nosepiece which rotates eachobjective into place as needed. Our standard microscope system has a5 objective nosepiece turret.

Trinocular Head AssemblyThe head assembly shown directly to the right allows viewing through the binoculareyepieces, and by simply pulling a knob that moves a prism inside the head, themicroscopic image can be relayed to the video camera system and onto the TVmonitor. While 80% of the images light goes to the video system, 20% remains inthe binocular eyepiece for continued viewing ability. This 80/20 system is perfect forthis application. When doing critical viewing through the eyepiece in a mode likedarkfield, 100% of the light can be directed to the oculars for outstanding imaging.Typical oculars chosen with this head are the 10x widefield eyepieces with FN 20.

The next head assembly shown here is a 50/50 system. Half the light goes to thevideo and half goes to the eyepieces. It is good for all around applications and withthe sensitivity of our cameras works well for all video viewing modes. However,anyone that is going to do critical darkfield work now or in the future and demandsthe best viewing through the eyepieces should consider the first option.

Standard definition video camerasmeeting traditional NTSC/PAL videostandards would be a choice whencost savings is an absolute must.We have long used these smallhead cameras for their excellentimaging capability. These cameras

contain industry proven CCD color imagers with on-boarddigital algorithms built into their internal ROM chips forexcellent color and image rendition. These cameras alsoundergo stricter quality control to meet our specificmicroscope application needs.

The choice of standard definition monitor that you wouldneed to use for the best imaging with this camara is mostdifficult to source now that most everything has moved toHD. Getting the image into a computer is done withinexpensive TV Tuner USB adapter cards.

Video Imaging

High definition video cameras is the way to go for higherresolution real time live imaging. With our special opticalcouplers, select consumer HD camcorders can be used.This allows imaging to be directed to HD flat panel TVs forbig screen viewing. Very impressive. Here is one in theBiomedx classroom.

Video/OpticalZoom Systems

With the advent of HD camcorders, zoomfunctions can be provided with thecamcorder’s internal optical and digitalzoom capabilites when our optical couplingcomponents hook it to the microscope.

Page 5: Biomedx Microscope Catalog

The Story Behind Microscope Magnification and Zoom SystemsMagnification

There is a bit of misunderstanding about magnification factors and zoom systems on microscopes and how theyfunction. Part of the problem has been the creative marketing on the part of some microscope resellers.

Let’s set the story straight. The maximum magnification you can get on a standard light microscope is about 1250x to1600x. This is viewing through the eyepiece with the naked eye which will also give you the finest detail you can see.This detail is termed resolution.

Though we can get large magnification with optical arrangements, digital video, and manipulating a camera up anddown over the video coupling lens (the lens that connects the microscope to the camera and focuses the image to thecamera chip), what we want is "useful" magnification, not “empty” magnification. Useful magnification is a function ofresolution. Resolution is the limit up to which two small objects are still seen separately. It is used as a measure of theresolving power of a microscope.

Resolution in a microscope is a function of the numerical aperture of the objective (printed as NA on the objective).Digging into the mathematics, the maximum resolved distance is equal to the wavelength of the color of light throughthe specimen divided by 2NA. Going further, the maximum magnification possible with optimum resolution tops out atslightly less than 1000 times the NA. A 100x oil objective typically can have a numerical aperture of 1.3. so 1.3 X 1000= 1300 as the theoretical limit of magnification with the most resolution. Since no manufacturer makes a 13x eyepiece(13x eyepiece X 100x objective = 1300 mag) we are left with the standard 12.5x eyepieces which gives 1250xmagnification. The higher the NA of an objective, the higher the price. Today some very high priced objectives ($10k+)are approaching 100x with an NA of 1.6 which could give 1600x optical magnification.

When a microscope is sold based on some ultimate magnification factor like 8,000x or 30,000x, this is simply related tothe physical image size that appears on the video monitor. For example, a red blood cell is 7 to 8 microns in diameter.If you have a red blood cell that is 1 inch large on the video monitor, divide 8 microns into 1 inch (.0254 meters) andyou will arrive at the number 3175. So a I inch red blood cell on the video monitor is magnified 3175x. Do you haveany more resolution of that image then what you can see through the eyepiece at 1250x? No you do not. You just havea bigger image. But sometimes, bigger is better and in the case of microscopy viewing, it is a nice advantage.

Zoom Systems

One way to get a zoom function is through the use of a computer with a digital zoom software function. Choose theright imaging software and this is a built in function, so there is little extra cost to get this option if you are going througha computer. Computer video zooming is not dependent on a scopes maximum light intensity. However, when you areseeking more magnification using higher power objectives, optical zooms, or vertical camera adjustments (explainedbelow), more light is needed to push the image through the optics.

Another zoom method that has been used by some manufacturers is through vertically adjusting the camera over thevideo coupling lens. For optimum focus, a camera should be set at one specific distance but these manufacturers takeadvantage of the physics of older style finite corrected microscope objectives which is older technology but still widelyavailable. How it works is this: if you observe the principles of light and image projection, you will note that the furtheraway you get from the place where you may be projecting an image to, the larger the image gets. By varying acamera’s distance over the projection lens (the video coupler) of a microscope, a zoom type effect can be achieved. Itis not the best way to accomplish the job, but it is simple and inexpensive. Some companies have patented motorizeddrives that make the vertical camera adjustment by simply pushing a button. Because of these patents, they ask for a$20-30K premium for their systems. For the level and type of zoom these arrangements offer, this premium is quiteexcessive.

A third way to get a zoom function is with an optical zoom placed between the camera and microscope. This is farsuperior to the method mentioned above. It does not rely on magnifying the image with electronics, nor manipulatingthe camera distance from the video coupler, but by using optical lenses.

A fourth way is to use the built in optical and digital zoom function on the latest HD camcorders. With a consumerdriven market where manufactures crank out large volumes of devices it means lower costs all around and with theright camera and optical connections to the microscope, this has become one of the best low cost zoom options.

Video DisplaysThere are a number of choices available for viewing your microscope image on a video screen. Here are a few:

6

When using a lower cost standard definition camera, any standard TV/VCR combination unit will work such asthe one shown above on the left. These units have direct video inputs so you can plug the composite videooutput of the camera directly to the TV. These are a simple option if you have it available but with the advent ofHD into the marketplace these units are no longer sold in stores.

With our standard definition cameras that have high resolution s-video output capability, matching this output witha professional level monitor with s-video input is a nice choice and looks the best, but these monitor options areexpensive and getting harder to find and when you do find them they are in the pro market and a bit pricey.

What you will find in all electronic stores today are HD flat panel TVs from 14” to 65” in size. If you are using astandard definition camera, choosing a TV that has s-video input capability is needed. Since the signal feedingthe TV is standard definition, up to a 19” screen size would be preferred. Though we have plugged our standarddefinition cameras into our 47” screen in class and it looks good from a distance, it is pushes the limits ofresolution for closer viewing and we think keeping a display under 32” for a standard definition camera iswarranted. If using a high definition camcorder than the larger screen sizes are okay.

Page 7: Biomedx Microscope Catalog

Video Cameras

Standard video cameras have CCD (charged coupled device) chips where images get focused from a lens and arethen translated electronically to a TV picture. Analog CCD chip cameras have been the video standard in use for along time for live biological imaging.

CMOS chips are a more recent technology which is coming along with increasing image quality. You will find thesechips in many digital cameras that go direct to a computer and in HD camcorders. We have found USB digital camerasprimarily work best for still imaging. The frame rate (how many picture frames the camera takes each second to makea smooth moving live picture) is in the range of 15 frames per second with a decent image screen size, though 30frames per second is more preferable. We can get this with consumer and prosumer HD camcorders and plug themdirectly into TV screens in high-def mode for 30 frames per second viewing at 1920 x 1080 resolution.

With many camcorders, getting high pixel count has been important where a definite quality difference can be seengoing from say a 3 megapixel camera to a 8 to 12 megapixel camera. However, the number of pixels does not tell thewhole story. Recently some manufactures have decreased the pixel count to perfectly match a 1920 x 1080 HD screensize while increasing the pixel size along with the physical CMOS chip size. With the increased pixel size this hasmeant more sensitivity to low light conditions and with a matched pixel to screen size it has meant less internalelectronic processing to form the image which is a source of image noise. With these latest innovations, we have seen2 megapixel chip cameras outperform 9 megapixel cameras and it has become thestandard for Biomedx systems to provide high definition viewing, optical and digital zoomingalong with all the other features that make these systems first in class.

Video Capture Devices

It is an easy process to get the video out of any camera and into your computer. Here isone of our laptops showing a live blood microscope image. The computer can be used forimage storage and retrieval and an HD flat panel as the microscope video display. Todaywith wireless networks and HD camcorders, you can install wireless memory chips into thecamcorder so when an image snapshot is taken, it is wirelessly transferred right to thecomputer for printing or saving into a client folder.

With internal SD memory chips in the cameras, there is not even a need for a computer as the chipscan be removed from the camcorder and plugged directly into a printer to print from the chip.

The power of the Picture

A recent study involving 210 people, average age 54 found that people who carriedimages of their damaged arteries in their wallets lost more weight, were more likely toexercise and were more likely to stop smoking than those who saw pictures of theirdamaged arteries only once. Most of the people were sedentary with poor diets.

The participants went through an ultrasound examination to determine the thicknessof the wall in the carotid artery, which supplies blood to the brain. A thickened carotidartery serves as a good predictor of heart attack and stroke risk.

All participants were shown images of their arteries and given instruction on ways toreduce their disease risks, including dieting to lose weight and lower cholesterol,stopping smoking and starting an exercise plan. Half the participants were givenphotos of their arteries to carry in their wallets and put on their refrigerators. At theend of the six months, researchers analyzed behavioral changes and found thefollowing:

*In the photo group, 60 people who had not been exercising started an exerciseprogram, compared with 34 people in the non-photo group.*More people had stopped smoking in the photo group (11) than the non-photo group(1).*The photo group lost more weight, 17.6 pound apiece, compared with 11 pounds forthe others.*The photo group had a more significant drop in cholesterol.

After a year, participants in the photo group had a statistically significant greaterreduction in the average thickness of their arteries’ walls compared with the non-photo group. From USA TODAY
