Getting the most from the microscope in the IVF and andrology laboratory
The humble microscope. The workhorses of every lab used frequently every day. But are you getting the best imaging from it? Experience shows that many microscopes are poorly set up and that users are not really shown how to check this or indeed how to use it correctly.
Small changes to the set up and the way we use the microscope can have very positive effects on image quality, viewing efficiency and user safety.
Here we examine the correct set up and use for both the inverted and stereozoom microscopes.
