    Microscope Image Comparison: ZEISS Primostar versus Motic Panthera(Post)

    Recently, we looked at images on two different microscope systems: the ZEISS Primostar 3 and the Motic Panthera. We wanted to compare the images captured with both of these microscopes. For both micr

    How to Calculate Microscope On-Screen Magnification(Post)

    A common question when viewing a microscopy image on a large screen is: What is the total magnification I am viewing on my monitor?" In order to correctly calculate the answer to this question, we mus

    Dissecting Microscope Guide: Uses, Magnification, Parts & How to Choose One(Post)

    A dissecting microscope, also called a stereo microscope, is designed for viewing larger, three-dimensional objects at relatively low magnification. Instead of examining thin specimens mounted on micr
