FAQs of QX-50 Fluorescent Research Microscope:
Q: How can I switch between brightfield and fluorescence observation modes on the QX-50 microscope?
A: Switching between observation modes is simple. The QX-50 features dedicated controls and filter cubes for brightfield and fluorescence. Adjust the filter cube turret and illumination type (using LED/halogen or mercury lamp) as needed to transition between modes.
Q: What is the benefit of the anti-fungal optical treatment and overheat protection?
A: The anti-fungal optical treatment prevents mold growth on optical components, essential for humid environments, thus extending the lifespan of the microscope. Overheat protection automatically safeguards the lamp systems, ensuring consistent performance and user safety during prolonged operation.
Q: What digital compatibility features does the QX-50 offer for image and video documentation?
A: The QX-50 supports C-mount camera adapters and provides an image output port for seamless digital integration. Users can capture still images and videos directly via compatible digital cameras (sold separately), streamlining research documentation.
Q: Where can I adjust the intensity of transmitted light during observation?
A: The microscope is equipped with a variable rheostat control. This allows users to easily regulate the intensity of transmitted LED or halogen light depending on sample requirements and personal preference.
Q: What is the maximum stage movement and how does it facilitate sample examination?
A: The QX-50 features a mechanical double-layer stage with a travel range of 75mm on the X-axis and 50mm on the Y-axis. This expansive movement ensures precise navigation across large sample areas, enhancing thorough examination and analysis.
Q: How do I maintain optimal performance and longevity of the QX-50 microscope?
A: To maintain the QX-50, keep the optics clean, use the supplied spare bulbs, fuses, and filters as replacements, and store the instrument in a dry environment. The anti-fungal and overheat protections also help ensure durability and longevity with minimal intervention.
