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.

Types Of Compound Microscope

Standard Compound Light Microscope

Inverted Compound Microscope

Stereo Microscope

Monocular Microscope

Digital Microscope

UV Compound Microscope

The Fluorescence Microscope

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.

Inverted Compound Microscope

Prevents the specimen from

being touched by high-powered

lenses and enables the

examination of thicker and larger specimens

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fluorescence Microscope

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