What is Professional Compound Microscope?

 

Professional compound microscope are built using a compound lens system where the primary magnification is provided by the objective lens, which is then compounded (multiplied) by the ocular lens (eyepiece).
The objective lens is the lower lens nearest to the specimen which enlarges the specimen and is also referred to as the primary lens while the eyepiece is the top ocular lens that lies nearest to the viewer's eye and also known as secondary lens. They offer two-dimensional visual information.
A compound microscope is a high power (high magnification) microscope that uses a compound lens system. A compound microscope has multiple lenses: the objective lens (typically 4x, 10x, 40x or 100x) is compounded (multiplied) by the eyepiece lens (typically 10x) to obtain a high magnification of 40x, 100x, 400x and 1000x. Higher magnification is achieved by using two lenses rather than just a single magnifying lens. While the eyepieces and the objective lenses create high magnification, a condenser beneath the stage focuses the light directly into the sample.

Type of Professional Compound Microscope
 

Biological MicroscopesBiological Microscopes

The most common type of compound microscope is the biological microscope. As a matter of fact, compound microscopes are often referred to as biological microscopes since they so often fall into this category. A biological microscope, as the name suggests, is one that is designed to study biological samples.
Biological can refer to a variety of things. The samples may include plant tissue or fungus or they may involve different types of tissue from the human body such as skin, blood, or even cancer cells from biopsies.

Polarizing Microscopes

Often referred to as a petrographic microscope, a polarizing microscope, in contrast to its biological brother, is not designed to be used for biological samples. Instead, this type of microscope is designed to visualize rocks and minerals. In some cases, certain chemicals may also be visualized with this microscope.
It also uses reflected light. The result is that this type of microscope can allow a person to view samples of rocks or chemicals with perfect clarity. This type of microscope, of course, is ideal for scientists such as geologists, forensic scientists, or chemists.

Phase-Contrast Microscope

The phase-contrast microscope is similar to the classic biological microscope, but it has a few differences. To start, it has all the features of an ordinary compound microscope. However, it is quite versatile due to the fact that it's able to analyze both biological and non-biological samples.
This type of microscope is ideal for transparent samples. This is especially true for microorganisms since they are so small that they are naturally clear. However, this microscope is also good for analyzing shards of glass, water, and other transparent objects.

What are the Applications of Compound Microscopes?
 

Cellular, Pathological, and Microbial Research
The biological microscope is the most common type of compound microscope used to observe biological specimens at high magnification. Phase contrast microscope is a special type of biological microscope that differs from the ordinary brightfield microscope. It requires phase contrast objective lenses and a condenser to alter the phase of light passing through the specimen, thereby enhancing contrast. It is mainly used for observing blood cells, live cells, and unstained transparent specimens.

The fluorescence microscope is used to observe specimens with natural fluorescence or those stained with fluorescent dyes. This technique allows the labeling of different cellular structures, such as mitochondria, cell nuclei, and cell membranes. Fluorescence microscopy is widely applied in fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques for analyzing and detecting the distribution and localization of nucleic acids.

 

Metal Analysis
The metallographic microscope, or metallurgical microscope, is also a type of compound microscope primarily used for observing metals, alloy materials, semiconductor testing, ceramics, rocks, and other opaque materials. Therefore, metallographic microscopes typically employ high-intensity reflected light, which is directed through the objective lens onto the specimen, producing high-contrast images of opaque specimens. They can also simultaneously utilize both transmitted and reflected light.

 

Mineral and Rock Analysis
The polarizing microscope is another common type of compound microscope, featuring two crucial polarizing devices – the polarizer and the analyzer. The polarizer is positioned between the light source and the specimen, converting natural light into polarized light. The analyzer is located between the specimen and the eyepiece and is used to analyze the vibration direction of light passing through the specimen. The polarizing microscope is commonly used for the analysis of the structure and properties of minerals and rocks.

 

 
How To Choose A Compound Microscope
 

 

 

Microscopes have revolutionised our understanding of the world by allowing us to peer into the realm of the minuscule. Whether you're a student, a hobbyist, a medical consultant, or a professional researcher, choosing the right compound microscope is crucial to your success. With a myriad of options available, the process can be overwhelming.

 

1. Magnification:
The magnification of a compound microscope determines how much you can zoom in on a specimen. Consider what you'll be observing – cells, microorganisms, wafers, microchips, or other small structures – and choose a microscope with appropriate magnification levels. A typical compound microscope for biological and medical applications offers a range of magnification settings, often from 40x to 1000x or more, whereas a materials or metallurgical compound microscope typically ranges from 50x to 600x or 800x.

2. Optical Quality:
The quality of the microscope's optics directly impacts the clarity of your observations. Look for microscopes with high-quality glass lenses that minimize distortion and aberrations. A compound microscope with achromatic objectives is a good starting point but the image will blur towards the edge of the field of view. Plan achromatic objectives are an excellent choice for the majority of applications, providing a focused image across the full field of view.

 

3. Binocular or Monocular Viewing:
Microscopes come in both binocular (dual eyepieces) and monocular (single eyepiece) configurations. Binocular microscopes offer a more comfortable viewing experience during prolonged use and can reduce eye strain. However, monocular microscopes are often more affordable and suitable for occasional use.

 

4. Light Source Options:
Most modern microscopes utilise LED technology. LED lighting is energy-efficient and generates minimal heat, making it a popular choice. For biological samples (thin semi-transparent sections on glass slides), transmitted (base) illumination is required that transmits through the sample. If viewing stained samples, a microscope with standard brightfield illumination is all that's required.

 

5. Mechanical Stage and Focus Control:
A mechanical stage allows you to precisely move your slide in both the X and Y directions, making it easier to navigate across your specimen. Starter level microscopes have a fixed stage that require manual moving of the sample but most microscopes above this level have XY mechanical control. At a professional and research level, the XY controls can be encoded for improved accuracy, or motorised as part of an automated system.

 

6. Digital Imaging Capability:
In the digital age, many microscopes come with built-in or attachable cameras for capturing images and videos of your observations. If documentation or sharing of your findings is important, consider a microscope with a trinocular head so a camera can be added to the camera port, or a microscope with built-in digital imaging capabilities.

Compound Light Microscope How It Works

 

A compound light microscope is a powerful tool that enables scientists to study small and intricate structures in detail. It uses light to magnify the image of a specimen, thereby making it possible to observe features that are not visible with the naked eye.

 

Optical Components
The main optical components of a compound light microscope include the objective lens, the eyepiece, and the condenser. The objective lens is responsible for magnifying the image of the specimen, while the eyepiece further magnifies the image for the observer. The condenser, on the other hand, is a lens that focuses the light on the specimen, thereby making it easier to see.

 

Light Source
The light source in a compound light microscope is usually an electric bulb, which provides the necessary illumination for the specimen. A diaphragm controls the amount of light that enters the microscope, and this helps to adjust the brightness and clarity of the image.

 

Mechanical Components
The mechanical components of a compound light microscope include the stage, the focus mechanism, and the body tube. The stage is a flat platform where the specimen is placed for observation, while the focus mechanism is used to adjust the position of the lenses for optimal magnification. The body tube, on the other hand, holds the optical components in place and ensures that they are aligned correctly.

 

Working Principle
The working principle of a compound light microscope involves the interaction of light with the specimen. When light passes through the specimen, it is refracted or bent, depending on the structure of the specimen. This light then passes through the objective lens, where it is further magnified, and then through the eyepiece, where it is viewed by the observer. The total magnification of the image is determined by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece.

FAQ
 

Q: What are the different types of compound microscopes?

A: A compound microscope can come in several types such as biological microscopes, polarizing microscopes, phase contrast microscopes, or florescence microscopes with uses varying for each.

Q: What is a compound microscope best used for?

A: A compound microscope is an instrument that is used to view magnified images of small specimens on a glass slide. It can achieve higher levels of magnification than stereo or other low power microscopes and reduce chromatic aberration.

Q: What is a compound microscope generally used for?

A: Compound microscopes are used to view small samples that can not be identified with the naked eye. These samples are typically placed on a slide under the microscope.

Q: What is the difference between a microscope and a compound microscope?

A: A simple microscope uses a single magnifying lens to produce an enlarged image. In contrast, a compound microscope employs multiple lenses. This is the major difference between simple microscope and compound microscope.

Q: What is difference between simple microscope and compound microscope?

A: A single lens is used in a simple microscope, whereas two lenses are used in a compound microscope. A simple microscope magnification is roughly 300x, while a compound microscope magnification is around 2000x. A lens is included in a simple microscope.

Q: What are the disadvantages of a compound microscope?

A: Limited resolution: Compound microscopes are limited in their ability to resolve fine details, especially at higher magnifications. Sample preparation: Many specimens require special preparation before they can be viewed under a compound microscope.

Q: Are compound microscopes better?

A: Compared with stereo microscopes, compound microscopes have much higher optical resolutions, so they're best for viewing or inspecting small specimens requiring very high magnification, including bacteria, plant cells, algae, protozoa, animal cells, chromosomes, and thin slices of organs or tissues.

Q: What is another name for a compound microscope?

A: The compound microscope is also known as the bright-field microscope because the light passes directly through the light source to the eye through the two lenses.

Q: Why is it called a compound microscope?

A: There are two main types of light microscopes: COMPOUND and STEREO microscopes. COMPOUND MICROSCOPES are so called because they are designed with a compound lens system. The objective lens provides the primary magnification which is compounded (multiplied) by the ocular lens (eyepiece).

Q: What does a compound microscope do to an image?

A: A compound microscope uses an objective lens close to the object being viewed to collect light, which focuses a real image of the object inside the microscope tube. That image is then magnified by the eyepiece lens, which creates an enlarged, inverted virtual image of the object.

Q: Why is a compound microscope better than a single lens microscope?

A: The highest magnification power of compound microscope can be used in laboratories by researchers as well as colleges to get accurate details about specimens being observed under it. This high magnification power is also helpful in making better studies about specimen under it.

Q: Are compound and light microscope the same?

A: The light microscope is a device that magnifies light. The ordinary laboratory light microscope is known as a compound microscope because it has two types of lenses that work together to magnify an object. The ocular is the lens closest to the eye, whereas the objective is the lens closest to the object.

Q: Which is better compound microscope or electron microscope?

A: Compound microscope can be used to see some organelles like cell walls, cytoplasm, nucleus, chloroplast, and mitochondria. Their structures cannot be observed through this but electron microscopes can be used to observe all organelles along with their structures.

Q: Can immersion oil be used with all lenses?

A: Immersion oil should only be used if you have an immersion oil lens. The lens will actually have "oil", "immersion" or "HI" (homogeneous immersion) printed on it. Immersion oil is best for viewing samples that are dead or are not moving and no thicker than a few micrometers.

Q: What type of microscope is most used in science classes?

A: Compound microscopes are most commonly used in laboratories, schools, vets, and for histology uses. They feature two lenses, providing a better magnification than a simple microscope. With this kind of equipment, the second lens further magnifies the image from the first lens.

Q: What are the different types of compound microscopes?

A: A compound microscope can come in several types such as biological microscopes, polarizing microscopes, phase contrast microscopes, or florescence microscopes with uses varying for each.
