TRANSMITTED LIGHT

     BRIGHTFIELD TRANSMITTED LIGHT microscopes are the most common type of compound microscope.  These microscopes are the type used in biology classrooms and doctors' offices.  The object to be inspected is normally placed on a clear glass slide, and light is transmitted though the object.  This makes the object appear against a bright background, hence the term Brightfield.  

Many new microscopes are now offering LED illumination, a trend which we support.  LED illumination is cooler, whiter (higher daylight color temperature), lasts 10 years without need for changing bulbs, all while consuming 80% less energy.  So, whenever a manufacturer offers an LED model as an upgrade, we supply the LED version at no extra charge.  

       The microscope(s) below have been selected from our extensive inventory as examples of the type of instruments we sell.   Martin Microscope is not necessarily an authorized dealer for all products shown.  Price is listed for reference only and is subject to change without notice - please contact us for complete specifications, current price and availability.  The images to the right were actually taken through the microscopes pictured using one of our recommended digital cameras.
