Kern OBT 105 Microscope

Kern OBT 103 Microscope


Microscopes are magnifying optical instruments used to study objects that are too small to view with the naked human eye, instead placed in a slide to be viewed through the microscope. Microscopes can magnify objects to hundreds or thousands of times their original size, allowing the user to make detailed observations.  
 
While microscopes were initially predominantly used for chemical and medical applications, their uses are now incredibly broad and span numerous fields. They are used in forensic science, geology, botany, pharmaceuticals, and quality control applications among many others. You can find out more in our [microscopes guide](/web/content/discovery/ideas-and-advice/microscopes-guide).

### Key Types of Microscope
- **Optical Microscopes**: These are the most common type of microscope. Optical microscopes work by using light and a lens or series of lenses to magnify a sample. It can be as simple as a single lens working as a magnifying glass, or a compound microscope where a system of lenses increases the magnification to a higher resolution.
- [**USB digital microscopes**](https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/test-measurement/lab-equipment/microscopes/?applied-dimensions=4294407538,4294847008) are compact, portable and can plug directly into your laptop or PC. They do not feature eyepieces, but display the image onscreen for you. These are ideal for image capture and many come with their own bespoke software.
- **Electron Microscopes** use beams of electrons and electron lenses to produce an image of the sample that is being magnified. Electron microscopes have a far greater resolution and can show greater magnification than an optical microscope. Electron microscopes can be further split down into the SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopes) and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopes). SEMs return a 3D image in black and white, while TEMs return a 2D view.
- **Stereo Microscopes** are optical microscopes designed to provide a three-dimensional view of a specimen at relatively low magnifications. Unlike traditional compound microscopes, which use a single optical path to produce a flat, 2D image, stereo microscopes use two separate optical paths. This design allows each eye to see the specimen from slightly different angles, resulting in a 3D stereoscopic effect.
