Olympus BH2 Hoffman modulation & Phase Contrast - Pre Owned
The Hoffman modulation Phase Contrast is a specialized microscopy technique that enhances the contrast of transparent and colorless specimens, making them more visible and detailed under the microscope. This technique is particularly useful for observing live cells, bacteria, and other transparent samples that may be difficult to see with conventional bright-field microscopy.
The Olympus BH2 Hoffman modulation Phase Contrast system is commonly used in biological and medical research, as well as in clinical settings such as pathology and microbiology laboratories. It allows researchers and healthcare professionals to visualize and study the internal structures of cells and microorganisms without the need for staining or fixing the specimens, providing real-time observation of dynamic biological processes.
Key Features
of Olympus BH2 Hoffman modulation & Phase Contrast:
- Enhanced Contrast: The Phase Contrast technique creates contrast in the specimen by exploiting the differences in refractive indices of different cellular components, making them stand out against a dark background.
- Non-destructive: Phase Contrast microscopy is non-invasive, allowing researchers to observe living cells in their natural state without altering their morphology or viability.
- High Resolution: The Olympus BH2 Hoffman modulation Phase Contrast system provides high-resolution images, enabling detailed examination of cellular structures and processes.
Application of Olympus BH2 Hoffman modulation & Phase Contrast:
- Cell Biology: Studying cellular morphology, division, and motility.
- Microbiology: Observing bacteria, yeast, and other microorganisms.
- Pathology: Examining tissue samples and identifying pathological changes.
- Neurobiology: Visualizing neuronal structures and synaptic connections.
