Inverted Microscope - is an optical instrument with "upside down" structure allowing to examine a sample from the lower side. For this purpose objectives are arranged below the specimen and lighting condenser in it's turn is above of it. Due to the design this type of microscope is utterly helpful for applications where space above the preparation is required to carry out all the necessary manipulations with the sample, allowing operator to place hands and tools over the subject being investigated. This feature makes the instrument fairly indispensable in solving a wide range of tasks in different fields.
The object's thickness limiting operability of direct microscopes doesn't play that big role for the inverted models! Inverted design enables studying either large objects or substances located in a special laboratory glassware. Presence of relatively big desktop ensures convenient sample placement of any shape and size, high stability and reliability minimize working vibrations and significantly improve the research quality.
♦ The important peculiarity is the fact that in the construction of Biological Laboratory Inverted Microscope a coverslip can be omitted unlike in conventional microscopes! It's function is fulfilled by the bottom of a laboratory glassware through which monitoring is performed. Indeed this is extremely useful for observing living cells or organisms because while observing they are in their natural environment within a laboratory flask. Hence an operator gets the opportunity to study them under more natural conditions than on a glass slide.
Inverted Microscopes can be equipped with various illumination techniques: brightfield, phase contrast, fluorescence, differential interference contrast (DIC), etc. Modern Inverted Microscopes feature ability to quickly switch from one observation method to another (e.g. from fluorescence to brightfied). In their majority they come with LED illumination as it's advantages are obvious in comparison with others: bright irradiation of a sample, extended service life and significant energy savings. If necessary it's possible to replace LED light source with a halogen
