Microscope Buying Guide: How to Choose the Right Microscope
A Brief Introduction to Microscopes The microscope is one of the essential lab instruments that help to examine the objects and specimens that cannot be seen with our naked eyes.[1] The optical instrument magnifies the specimen to multifold, making it visible to our eyes. Because of their ability to produce high-quality, highly-resolved, clear, and magnified […]
Portable vs. Benchtop Spectrophotometers: Which Should You Purchase?
Spectrophotometers are scientific equipment that quantifies the concentration of a molecule in the sample of interest based on its color, translucency, and transparency. In spectrophotometry, various spectra of light are passed through a sample whose molecules absorb light of certain wavelengths. The light that is not absorbed passes through a photodetector where the light intensity […]
Tips and Factors To Consider When Buying a Microtome
Introduction A microtome is a precision tool used in labs to cut extremely thin sections of different materials. Itās derived from two Greek words mikros, meaning āsmallā, and temnein, meaning āto cutā.[1] The microtome is built of three primary parts: the body, knife attachment and knife, and material holder.[1] It slices the embedded material into […]
