Hi:
I would be grateful for suggestion regarding stereo microscopes suitable
for protein/dna crystal viewing and manipulation. We would need a system
that fulfull all of the criteria:
1) Two polarizers one for below the sample holder and one above
2) A fully rotatable stage
3) A camera option,
Our setup is an Olympus SZX-10 with both 1x and 2x objectives and 10x
eyepieces. It's nice having the different objectives for different things--a
close up look at a tiny crystal requires the 2x, but the 1x is less bulky and
has better depth-of-field, so it's better for freezing crystals.
The
Hello,
I am planning to purchase a stereo microscope for visualizing crystallization
drops. I would be very grateful if someone let me know the “objective” and
“binocular
eyepiece” specifications for SZX-7 or SZ-61 (Olympus) to get good
magnification.
Thank you.
Regards,
Prasenjit
We have an Olympus SZX-12 microscope and are running a 1X objective
(with polarizer) and a 10 X eyepiece. The scope will zoom from
approximately 10X-90X magnification. At 90X a 400 nL drop in a 96-well
plate will nearly fill the field.
Cheers,

Hi Kevin -
1) I can only imagine that LEDs would produce vastly less heat than halogen
lamps. In general, they are small, efficient, long-lasting and don't produce a
lot of heat. Here's a start for more information

Just one comment on LEDs as we have them as part of an imaging system. While it
is true that the LEDs themselves emit cool light, the associated electronics is
hotter than I would have expected. FYI.

'White' LED light produced by most integrated white LED packages is in fact
a mixture of blue (~460nm), produced by the LED itself and a
broad-band yellow (560nm), produced by a secondary phosphor, typically
directly coating the semiconductor that emits the primary light. The net
effect is a
Hi everyone,
I'm looking to buy a new stereo microscope for looking at crystal
trays, and was wondering if anyone could help me answer a few questions:
1) Does anyone have experience with LED illumination in the microscope base?
I'm worried that there might be excessive heating of the
