We will epistemologically define the word microscope; Micro which means small and scopio which means to observe; this is a reference of the usefulness of this device, which is a device that allows us to observe elements that are invisible to the naked eye, through a lens, viewfinders and rays of light; This instrument includes a set of elements that allows us to enlarge or bring the sample closer to scales where we minimally observe components to perform an analysis and examine the sample.
Optical parts of a microscope
- Focus: emits rays of light.
- Diaphragm: it is responsible for regulating the amount of incident light used in the sample.
- Capacitor: concentrates each ray of light in the sample.
- Object: it is a set of lenses that receive the light from the sample and allows to increase the image.
- Eyepiece: allows you to enlarge and observe the sample.
Mechanical parts of the microscope
- Base: it is the foot of the microscope.
- Micrometric screw: it is a rotating structure that causes the sample to move vertically.
- Micrometric screw: allows you to adjust the distance much more precisely.
- Plate: is the surface where the sample is placed to be observed.
- Tweezers: they are attached to the plate and serve to keep the sample fixed so as not to lose focus.
- Arm: is the structure of the microscope that connects all the components.
- Revolver: it is a rotating structure where the different samples are placed and that allows to alternate the different observed objects.
- Tube: cylindrical structure that joins the eyepiece with the revolver.
Review and technical service of microscopes
The procedures used for the technical service and maintenance of microscopes follow certain general protocols of action; in KALSTEIN we can offeryou the necessary and required advice in your equipment; from the hand specialist experts, guaranteeing the protection and safety of your instrument, however, regardless of the manufacturer we can follow the following protocol:
- General check and checking: verification of the visibility and general state of conservation of the optical parts.
- Disassembly of the equipment and check-up: according to the model of the microscope, the mechanical parts must be separated.
- Cleaning of optical components: cleaning of optical parts.
- Cleaning of mechanical components: cleaning and subsequent lubrication of all mechanical parts.
- Assembly and testing: after reassembling the apparatus, the functions of the mechanical parts are checked and then samples are observed to verify the optical components.
