Welcome to Light-Microscope
What is a light microscope? How does it differ from any other type of microscope on the market? Firstly, a light microscope is an optical microscopy device that uses normal light to view a magnified image of a specimen. This is in contrast to an electron microscope that uses electrons to image a specimen. Most microscopes are light microscopes. Reviewing the history of the microscope, the light microscope was the first type that was invented. It used simple compound lens to magnify the light coming from the specimen.
A light microscope can be as simple as a toy microscope found in toy stores for kids. This simple compound light microscope uses cheap lens to obtain a high magnification of the specimen on a glass slide. A light microscope can be more advanced, including research level microscopy equipment such as fluorescence light microscopes and metallurgical microscopes.
We have monocular, binocular, and trinocular versions of light microscopes with varying capabilities, imaging quality, and prices. Whatever the application or need is for a light microscope, please contact us today for assistance. We hire full time biologists and engineers who are available to help you find the correct microscopy equipment.
