Upright Compound Microscopes

SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS & PRICES OF EACH MODEL 

Upright compound microscopes are used for observing thin, transparent, slide mounted specimens under magnifications typically ranging from 40X to 1000X.  They are equipped with a bottom light which provides transmitted illumination through the specimen.  Typical specimens suitable for observation using this type of microscope are histology sections, thin sections of plant material, blood, cytological specimens, crystals, emulsions and transparent parts of organisms such as insects.

Compound microscopes have the option of one eyepiece to view through (monocular microscopes), two eyepieces for more comfortable viewing (binocular microscopes) or two eyepieces plus a third port for attaching a camera (trinocular microscopes).

There are a number of different illumination techniques available with a compound microscope, including brightfield illumination, phase contrast, DIC, darkfield and fluorescence. Please see the table below for a brief description of each and to select the most relevant category for your application. You can also read our guide on how to choose a compound microscope

Monocular compound microscopeMonocular Compound Microscopes

Monocular microscopes have one eyepiece to view through. These are a popular choice as a starter microscope, for schools or for lower budgets.

 Binocular microscope compoundBinocular Compound Microscopes

Binocular microscopes offer two eyepieces for more comfortable viewing.
Trinocular compound microscopeTrinocular Compound Microscopes

Trinocular microscopes have two eyepieces for comfortable viewing, plus a third port for attaching a camera. We have a selection of microscope cameras that offer a live view to a display, or/and image capture direct to a PC/Mac or onto an SD card.

 Digital microscopeDigital Compound Microscopes

Digital microscopes have a built-in camera often with a display screen, offering an all-in-one solution.
Brightfield microscopeCompound Microscopes with Brightfield Illumination

Brightfield illumination is the most common form of illumination, used for viewing stained specimens on slides.

 Phase contrast microscopeCompound Microscopes with Phase Contrast Illumination

Phase contrast provides additional contrast for viewing unstained specimens that are not possible to see via brightfield illumination, for example living cells.
DIC microscopeCompound Microscopes with DIC (Differential Interference Contrast) Illumination

DIC illumination is the next step up from phase contrast that allows thicker samples to be observed (a limitation of phase contrast). It can be used in conjunction with fluorescence illumination, where DIC is used to locate a specific region on the specimen before switching to fluorescence for further examination.

 Fluorescence MicroscopyCompound Microscopes with Fluorescence Illumination

For viewing specimens that have been tagged (dyed) with a fluorescent label. Most often used for research.
Darkfield microscopeCompound Microscopes with Darkfield Illumination

Darkfield is an illumination technique used to view samples that do not image well under normal illumination. Light from the condenser is blocked by a stop and forced around the edges to illuminate the sample via oblique angles, creating a bright image of the specimen on a dark background. This creates a particularly eye-catching image and is popular with microscopy photographers.
