or sell a used microscope
page updated February 23, 2008
Microscopes of the following
types:
biological, industrial, measuring stereoscopic, electronic inspection, metallurgical, and
polarizing asbestos. Also, learn the
differences and use of
compound
and stereo
optical microscopes.
If you are buying
or selling a used or new light microscope, this
page
will serve you with
important microscope applications, specific information
in the choice, location,
and fair pricing of
light,
compound, and
inspection microscopes.
If, you're planning to purchase a
new or used
microscope and need a primer before buying, I'd recommend
this site:
"Choosing and buying a
microscope"
by Dave
Walker. From his page " If a first
time buyer, be wary of purchasing a
sophisticated multi-functional
research microscope from an on-line
auction without seeking specialist
advice beforehand. It could appear -
relative to its new price - a
bargain, but such microscopes may
not necessarily suit the enthusiast.
They are often large and heavy -
possibly to the point of
impracticality for the home user
without a dedicated area to house
it. They
may require expensive specialist
servicing and dedicated
spares / accessories could be
expensive." Visit this
page
to arm yourself with some purchasing
knowledge.
Another great site for the new user is:
"How to buy school
microscopes", don't let the
title dissuade you
from visiting, as it offers an
abundant amount of information on the use and purchase of low end microscopes.
This link is a discussion on:
"How the microscope market
works, or doesn't"
A good discussion on the
marketing of new microscopes,
how to choose the right microscope for your application, and how to get
the best price.
Also, offers sound advice to be aware of when purchasing new microscopes built
totally
of
proprietary parts. Should you
buy a Chinese knockoff?
If you're a dealer, broker, or seller
of used microscopes, you should
visit "How
to generate high quality leads"
and will discuss your lease of this
page, with insertion of ads for your
company, direct links, and email to
your site.
I have no knowledge as to the
performance of Meiji Techno Microscopes, but
they do offer a web page with
an excellent
overview of
"Microscope Applications"
examples of
the type of microscopes they discuss are:
biological, industrial, measuring stereoscopic, electronic inspection, metallurgical, and
polarizing asbestos.
In addition, they describe the
differences and uses of
compound
and stereo optical microscopes.

Do you know the basic microscope
hardware? The stage holds the
specimen, the lamp or light source
illuminate it,
the objective lens magnify it to
your desired depth, the eyepieces or
ocular are what you actually view
through, coarse
focus knob for the focus of
your specimen view, and the base
holds it all together.
