Inverted Phase Contrast Light Microscope(Florescent Attachment)

By the help of different refractive properties of the light, Phase Contrast Light Microscopeprovides visibility to subcellular structures of microorganisms that are examined in a liquidmedium without any staining. Fluorescence attachment is used to display objects stained withspecial fluorescent dyes (DAPI, FITC, Texas Red Etc.) and that can not be displayed with normalight microscopy techniques. It operates according to the principle of reflective light.
