  1. Operating microscope

    Refimprove date December 2009 An operating microscope is an optical microscope specifically designed to be used in a surgical setting, typically to perform microsurgery . Design features of an operating microscope are magnification typically in the range from 4x 40x, components that are easy to Sterilization microbiology sterilize or disinfect in order to ensure cross infection control . There is often a Prism optics prism that allows splitting of the light beam in order that assistants may also visualize the procedure or to allow photography or video to be taken of the operating field . An example of a procedure which commonly uses an operating microscope would be endodontic retreatment , where the magnification provided by the operating microscope improves visualisation of the anatomy present leading to better outcomes for the patient. Another example might be an anastomosis procedure carried out to join blood vessels in vascular surgery . Typically an operating microscope might cost several thousand dollars for a basic model, more advanced models may be much more expensive. Additionally specialized microsurgical instruments may be required to make full use of the improved vision the microscope affords. It can take time to master use of an operating microscope. Fields of medicine that make significant use of the operating microscope include dentistry especially endodontics , ENT surgery , opthalmic surgery , and neurosurgery .

  1. Student microscope

    Unreferenced date December 2010 Inappropriate tone date December 2009 A Student microscope is a low power, durable optical microscope typically sold in bulk for use in school science classes. Although university science students use microscopes, the term typically refers to the type of instrument used in primary and secondary schools. For most non scientists, the only time a microscope was ever used was in a school science class, and so when many people picture a microscope, it is a student microscope that comes to mind. Construction The classic school microscope, as was common in American public high schools in the second half of the 20th century, was a low power 3 10x double lens instrument, with an eyepiece adjusted with twin knobs, one for coarse and one for fine focus adjustment. The primary lens was often mounted on a rotating platter so that different lenses could be rotated into the line of view typically there was a choice of three different powers . The optical quality of these inexpensive microscopes was very poor, so that choosing the highest power and thus longest lens was often quite useless. Due to its length, the highest power lens often crushed the slide beneath, as the hapless student rotated the focus knob vainly trying to see something and collided with the slide, which was held in place by small metal clips. Beneath the slide was an adjustable mirror, or later, a battery powered light bulb. Thus the student microscope was very much like any other two lens optical microscope, but is distinguished from others by its low cost and durability.

E eyepiece , O Objective optics objective , K knob for focusing, V vernier, R rails, S screw for fine position adjustment. A travelling microscope is an instrument for measuring length with a Optical resolution resolution typically in the order of 0.01mm. The precision is such that better quality instruments have measuring scales made from Invar to avoid misreadings due to thermal effects. The instrument comprises a microscope mounted on two rail s fixed to, or part of a very rigid bed. The position of the microscope can be varied coarsely by sliding along the rails, or finely by turning a screw . The eyepiece is fitted with fine cross hairs to fix a precise position, which is then read off the vernier scale. Some instruments, such as that produced in the 1960s by the Precision Tool and Instrument Company of Thornton Heath, Surrey, England, also measure vertically.

A USB microscope is a low powered digital microscope which connects to a computer, normally via a USB port. They are widely available at low cost commercially. In essence USB microscopes are a webcam with a high powered macro lens and generally do not use transillumination but rely on incident light instead. As the camera attaches directly to the USB port of a computer eyepieces are not required and the images are shown directly on the monitor. They offer modest magnifications up to about 200 without the need to use eyepieces at very low cost, and illumination is in built. Usage Images can be recorded and stored similar to a webcam on the computer. The camera is usually fitted with a light source, although extra sources such as a Optical fiber fiber optic light can be used to highlight features of interest in the object. They generally offer a large depth of field at the cost of a smaller numerical aperture and so amount of light collected. USB microscopes are most useful when examining flat objects such as coin s, printed circuit board s, or documents such as banknote s. Their use is generally similar to that of stereo microscope s. USB microscopes offer the great advantage of being much less bulky than a conventional stereo microscope so can be used in the field, attached to a laptop computer . Effective magnification The precise magnification is determined by the working distance between the camera and the object, and good supports are needed to control the image. Although convenient, the magnifying abilities of these instruments are often overstated typically offering 200 magnification, this claim is based usually on 25x to 30x actual magnification which is then further magnified by the expansion of the image by display on screen.
