The Fluorescent Microscope KCX-160 operates using the principles of optical magnification, fluorescence excitation and emission, and transmitted-light microscopy.
In fluorescence mode, a prepared specimen containing suitable fluorescent material is positioned on the mechanical stage.
The LED fluorescence illumination system produces excitation light.
The excitation light passes through the appropriate illumination optics and filter arrangement before reaching the specimen.
Fluorescent molecules within the specimen absorb light at suitable excitation wavelengths.
After excitation, the fluorescent material emits light at a longer wavelength.
The microscope objective collects the emitted fluorescence and forms a magnified optical image.
The fluorescence filter arrangement helps separate the desired emitted light from the excitation illumination.
The resulting image is observed through the binocular or trinocular optical system.
The coaxial focusing mechanism allows users to adjust image sharpness, while the mechanical stage supports controlled specimen positioning.
For bright-field observation, transmitted light from the 10W LED illumination system passes through the specimen and is collected by the selected objective lens.
The microscope therefore supports different observation methods according to the installed optical and illumination configuration.
Specimen Preparation: A suitable specimen is prepared with a compatible fluorescent label or naturally fluorescent material.
Excitation Illumination: The LED fluorescence light source produces excitation light.
Optical Filtering: The excitation filter arrangement selects suitable illumination wavelengths.
Fluorescence Emission: Fluorescent material emits light after excitation.
