Clinical Microscopes

Clinical microscopes are used in many different fields such as hospitals, clinics, doctor's offices, veterinarians and genetic research laboratories.  Within the hospital environment the clinical microscope is used in many different departments such as laboratory, cytology, pathology, gynecology, microbiology and immunology.

A clinical microscope usually is referred to as a compound microscope.  This means there are many different components within the design.  A clinical microscope components include, but is not limited to, eyepieces, body, stand, stage, base, objectives and electrical system.  Total magnification ranges from 4X to 1000X using standard objectives of 4-10-40-100X oil.  Most models are called upright clinical microscopes meaning the user looks into the eyepieces that focus downward at a slide on the stage. These are the microscopes most people remember using in school.

Some clinical microscopes are inverted.  This means the optics are reversed or up-side down so the user may examine a sample suspended in a fluid in a Petri dish.  The user still looks down into the eyepieces but the lens system is inverted and looks up at the sample from below the stage.

There are also accessories that can be added to the clinical microscope to enable the user to look at different types of samples.  Accessories can include fluorescent lamp illuminators, polarizing filters, dark field adapters and phase contrast optics.  Each one of these accessories provide a different appearance to the sample being examined, and are designed to provide the best lighting in which to examine that particular sample.  The accessory to use on a clinical microscope depends on the user's requirements.

Many users need to take pictures of their samples for documenting their research or saving information for individual patient records.   By adding on a camera system such as 35 mm, digital and video cameras you can now photograph your sample.  Usually the clinical microscope requires that you have an extra third port on the top of the body to attach these cameras, referred to as a trinocular port.  Many camera systems include software and adapters to link the images to your computer.  This is a great teaching and sharing tool.

In summary the clinical microscope is a very versatile tool when used as a diagnostic or research tool with in the clinical or research environment.

AmScope 40x-2000x Trinocular Compound Darkfield Microscope $361.62 This professional trinocular compound microscope provides both darkfield and brightfield features. It boasts three unique features no other microscope dealer can claim, designed for professional applications in clinical offices and research laboratories. Different from most other microscopes on the market, the T490B is remarkable because it features 1) simultaneous viewing through the photo port and eyepieces, 2) an adjustable parfocal trinocular port, and 3) a detachable C-Mount located on the 23mm photo port. T490B's adjustable trinocular port creates a parfocal optical system by allowing the image system attached to the photo port and the image in the eyepieces to be in focus at the same time. Traditional microscopes on the market allow you to see through either the trinocular port or eyepieces, forcing you to switch between the port and eyepieces. Because their trinocular port is not designed to be par-focal with the microscope optical system, you have to conduct re-focusing after each "switch". The T490B Type: Microscopes

Principles and Applications of Fluorescence Spectroscopy $85 Fluorescence spectroscopy is an important investigational tool in many areas of analytical science, due to its extremely high sensitivity and selectivity. With many uses across a broad range of chemical, biochemical and medical research, it has become an essential investigational technique allowing detailed, real-time observation of the structure and dynamics of intact biological systems with extremely high resolution. It is particularly heavily used in the pharmaceutical industry where it has almost completely replaced radiochemical labelling. Principles and Applications of Fluorescence Spectroscopy gives the student and new user the essential information to help them to understand and use the technique confidently in their research. By integrating the treatment of absorption and fluorescence, the student is shown how fluorescence phenomena arise and how these can be used to probe a range of analytical problems. A key element of the book is the inclusion of practical laboratory experiments that illustrate the fundamental points and applications of the technique.

Advanced Concepts in Fluorescence Sensing $175 Over the last decade, fluorescence has become the dominant tool in biotechnology and medical imaging. These exciting advances have been underpinned by the advances in time-resolved techniques and instrumentation, probe design, chemical/biochemical sensing, coupled with our furthered knowledge in biology. Complementary volumes 9 and 10, "Advanced Concepts of Fluorescence Sensing: Small Molecule Sensing" and "Advanced Concepts of Fluorescence Sensing: Macromolecular Sensing", aim to summarize the current state of the art in fluorescent sensing. For this reason, Drs. Geddes and Lakowicz have invited chapters, encompassing a broad range of fluorescence sensing techniques. Some chapters deal with small molecule sensors, such as for anions, cations, and CO2, while others summarize recent advances in protein-based and macromolecular sensors. The editors have, however, not included DNA or RNA based sensing in this volume, as this were reviewed in Volume 7 and is to be the subject of a more detailed volume in the near future.

Chlorophyll a Fluorescence in Aquatic Sciences $179 Measurements of variable chlorophyll fluorescence have revolutionised global research of photosynthetic bacteria, algae and plants and in turn assessment of the status of aquatic ecosystems, a success that has partly been facilitated by the widespread commercialisation of a suite of chlorophyll fluorometers designed for almost every application in lakes, rivers and oceans. Numerous publications have been produced as researchers and assessors have simultaneously sought to optimise protocols and practices for key organisms or water bodies; however, such parallel efforts have led to difficulties in reconciling processes and patterns across the aquatic sciences. This book follows on from the first international conference on "chlorophyll fluorescence in the aquatic sciences" (AQUAFLUO 2007): to bridge the gaps between the concept, measurement and application of chlorophyll fluorescence through the synthesis and integration of current knowledge from leading researchers and assessors as well as instrument manufacturers.

Fluorescence in the Life Sciences $74.88 Fluorescence is used in the life sciences generally as a nondestructive way of tracking or analysis biological molecules by means of fluorescence. Some protein or small molecules in cells are naturally fluorescent, this is called intrinsic or autofluorescence (such as NADH, tryptophan or endogenous Chlorophyll, Phycoerythrin or green fluorescent protein), alternatively specific or general protein, nucleic acids, lipids or small molecules can be labelled with an extrinsic fluorophore, a fluorescent dye which can be a small molecule, protein or quantum dot. Several techniques exist, often exploiting additional properties, such as fluorescence resonance energy transfer, where the energy is passed nonradiatively to a particular neighbouring dye, allowing proximity to be detected; another is the change in proprieties, such as intensity, of certain dyes depending on their environment allowing their use in structural studies.
