Application

Investigation of micro-organism in environmental samples (e.g. buildings, activated sludge)

Investigation

Appearance and shapes of fungi, bacteria, protozoa

Method

Brightfield, Phase Contrast, Darkfield, Staining with fluorescence markers Mykoval, FITC, LED Fluorescence-Illumination

Activated sludge, Brightfield image

Fungi, fluorescence image Staining: Mykoval

Instruments 

• H 600 BS/H 600 Wilozyt with combi-condenser for brightfield, phase contrast, darkfield
• Medicus/H 600 with LED-Fluorescence Illuminator

Specific Features

• Possibility of 2 or 3 different contrasting methods in one instrument
• Fluorescence Microscopes with high-power LED as light source
• Compact design

Benefits

• Easy recognition of bacteria and protozoa through high magnification and high resolution
• Fast switching between contrasting methods
• Time saving due to highly sensitive detection of cells marked with fluorescence without further steps of cultivation
• Easy staining and low bleaching with Mykoval fluorescent marker
• Short training time thanks to easy operation
• Immediately ready for operation through LED-Fluorescence. No heating up-time, after switching off immediate switching on possible
• High economics due to LED life time of 5.000 h
• Field retrofit to fluorescence of existing H 600 and Medicus microscopes

Summary

Cost effective, easy and failure safe diagnosis

• No complicated operation
• High contrast (especially of fluorescent images)
• High contrast through objectives with high numerical aperture
