Reichert Microscope (Austria
Nr. 337 427)
This is a research-grade microscope for optical examination under higher
magnifications. It is a Zetopan model with six plan fluotar objectives
(4x/0.10, 10x/0.25, 20x/0.4, 40x/0.7, 50x/0.45, 63x/0.85) and
an X-Y stage with vernier scales. It also has two light sources: one on top
and one in the back. Both illuminators have sliding filter plates with
multiple filters. The top illuminator is a standard
model for low-power operation (25W). The back illuminator uses a 200w
short-arc mercury vapor lamp (OSRAM Germany, HBO 200),
for generating an intense narrowly focused beam of light that can
be filtered to UV (short) wavelengths for examination of small particles.
Between the objectives and eyepieces is a three-filter analyzer. One
slot has a Blau 1.5/0G12 1/GG9 filter, the center
slot is empty, and the third slot has a UV 1/GG9 filter.
This scope could push the limits of our
high-magnification optical microscopy capabilities.
