  Microscope Purchase Guide  
         
    Winter is coming to an end and our dogs and cats will soon be running about with spring fever. In order to be prepared to help protect them against heartworms you need a microscope which is in good working order. Read on for our practical tips for purchasing the right microscope for your practice.    
         
     
 

Identifying your needs

Identifying your needs will help you choose the right microscope for your practice.

  • Do you prefer to work with quality objectives?
  • Do those who use the microscope wear glasses?
  • Are the ergonomics of the microscope head important to you?
  • Would you prefer a light that doesn’t heat up?

  • Where is the microscope manufactured?
  • Is the warranty offered by the manufacturer or the distributor?
  • What is the length of the warranty?

  * Eyepiece Adjustment  
   
  The diopter adjustment permits those with vision problems to adjust the eyepiece to allow for clear and precise viewing of any slide.  
   
  ** Illumination  
     
  Contrary to halogen lights, the LED is a cold light. Using halogen lights can cause the oil to heat and migrate to the objectives, thus damaging them. If you analyze living specimens, the use of LED light is recommended rather than halogen which can damage your specimen.

Another advantage of the LED light is its durability. A LED light ensures up to 100,000 hours of illumination compared to only 2,000 hours for a halogen lamp.
