For a non-medical student, the variety of microscopes that are available in the market may be confusing. This is because there are so many kinds of microscope that are built different purposes. There are monocular microscopes, compound light microscopes, low power stereoscopic microscopes, binocular microscopes, forensic comparison microscopes, and even metallurgical microscopes. As its name, […]

Epifluorescent microscopes are one of the most commonly used types of microscopy in the medical field today.  Epifluorescence is a rather familiar microscopy technique, being another form of light fluorescence microscopy.  It is also one of the most important techniques used for research and experiment, especially those involving the study of living organisms and live […]

If epifluorescence microscopy sounds suspiciously similar to fluorescence microscopy, it’s because the former is a setup of the latter.  The optical trickery here is practical, designed to provide for a more efficient means to use illumination and process the fluorescence produced by the specimen sample.  This allows the observer to see only the fluorescence emitted […]

Epifluorescence is one of the most important and fascinating techniques in microscopy.  Without the epifluorescence technique, it would be impossible to study many of the physiological and biochemical processes involved in the research of live specimens.  Epifluorescence is one of the types of fluorescence microscopy, a very essential tool for many medical and biochemical researches […]

New to Microscopy Research and Imagery? These are just a few basic ways on how to use a Fluorescence Microscope.
Introduction
Most microscopes use the process of illumination and reflection to be able to view the sample that they have chosen while a Fluorescence Microscope, though still has the same features of any microscope, uses the process […]
