Wide-field fluorescence microscope
A wide-field fluorescence microscope is an instrument used for imaging under fluorescence conditions, utilizing light emitted from fluorescent materials to reveal the microscopic structure of biological, chemical, or other types of samples. The microscope consists of several components that allow for magnification, filtering of fluorescent light, and presenting a focused and sharp image.Key features of the microscope include:Fluorescent illumination: The microscope includes a light source that emits light at a specific wavelength to excite fluorescence in the sample.Filters and light filtering: The device is equipped with filters to block unwanted light and ensure that only the emitted light from the material is observed.Magnification: The microscope provides significant magnification to display even the smallest details of the sample.Real-time imaging: The microscope offers real-time imaging capabilities, enabling interactive exploration of processes as they occur.Common applications include biological research, cell studies, protein molecule research, and material inspection in industries like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and more.
