Dark Field Microscope | SIMTRUM Photonics Store

The SIMTRUM STUD202i & STUD203i Dark Field Microscopes are specialized instruments designed to enhance the visibility of unstained, transparent specimens. These microscopes are ideal for observing minute details that are difficult to see under standard light conditions. They come with a UCIS optical system, rotatable binocular head for user comfort, and a range of objective lenses for versatile magnification. The precise mechanical stage and fine focusing capabilities make them suitable for advanced biological research, including hematology, microbiology, and parasitology.

Standard Configuration Technical Parameters

Q1: What is a dark field microscope?

A1: A dark field microscope is a device that uses scattered light to illuminate the sample, making structures that are invisible in ordinary light visible against a dark background.

Q2: What kind of samples are best viewed with the STUD202i & STUD203i models?

A2: These microscopes are ideal for viewing unstained, transparent specimens such as live bacteria, yeast cells, and blood cells, or any samples that lack inherent contrast.

Q3: How does the UCIS optical system benefit users?

A3: The UCIS system provides high image clarity and color correction, enhancing the visibility of details within specimens that standard microscopes might miss.

Q4: What distinguishes Simtrum's STUD202i & STUD203i Dark Field Microscopes from others?

A4: Simtrum's microscopes are designed with advanced UCIS optical systems for high clarity imaging, suitable for complex biological research requiring detailed observation.

Q5: Can Simtrum microscopes be used for educational purposes?

A5: Yes, these microscopes are versatile and user-friendly, making them excellent tools for educational labs at universities and research institutions.

Q6: What is unique about Dark Field Microscopy?

A6: Dark Field Microscopy allows users to view samples that are almost invisible under standard bright field illumination. It's particularly useful for detecting small and unstained specimens that can be missed by other methods.

Q7: What applications are Dark Field Microscopes used for?

A7: They're commonly used in biology and medical labs to observe live and unstained cells and organisms, such as bacteria and protozoa, making them essential for microbiology, parasitology, and hematology.

Q8: Are there any limitations to using Dark Field Microscopy?

A8: Yes, while offering excellent visibility for certain types of samples, dark field illumination can sometimes offer less detail than other techniques for specimens that naturally have strong contrast.
