The Industrial Microscope: Should You Get One For Your Business?

The industrial microscope is a product of brilliant research and the quest for better and more powerful microscopes. On the other hand, this quest was spurred by industries seeking to create better but affordable products fit for human consumption and use. But is this necessary for your business?

Do You Need a Heavy-Weight Microscope?

If you are the sort of businessperson eager to produce quality products you have a use for an industrial microscope. But you are not a scientist you say. Well, quite true, but this microscope will help you spot defects or product imperfections before these are distributed to stores for retail. As a new entrepreneur making your own products such as tanning leather or fashioning jewelry, this microscope can do wonders for your business.

If you retailing leather or jewelry, the industrial microscope can help you check the quality of the products in 3D configuration. To do this effectively, you must have a store of information about leather or jewelry; you can source the information from the local library or online libraries for free or for a fee. To repeat, since you are no scientist as you say, you don't have to take up any chemistry or physics course. You only have to check the product if it passes standards, especially if you are dealing with pricey goods.

But if you are into production, the use for the microscope would center on quality control. Materials are inspected for flaws that may result in defective merchandise. Now to the question --do you need this type of microscope? Sure. This microscope will require quite some investment money but the return of investment will be worth the trouble.

Features

Better-quality illumination is a feature of the industrial microscope. External light from different angles is also used. The use of filters clearly defines the small details of the material. As a jewelry designer, you need to check if the tiny clasps are secured in place and the gems are of the quality you expected.

Presentation and documentation of your observations can be done with the use of the microscope in conjunction with a digital camera and cameras with high-grade resolution will further enhance outline and the minute details of the specimen and you can check cross sections of the material. You can observe every bump or irregularity of the material, including tiniest crack the unaided eye cannot discern.

The industrial microscope can be upgraded with microscopy accessories or upgraded with Kohler illumination. Manufacturers of microscopes produce different accessories -boom stands, dissecting tables, illumination of different make, lenses, and filters. As a precaution purchase a microscope brand that offers accessories and replacement parts so there will be no problem searching for compatible accessories or replacements.

Microscope Care

Microscopes like everything else expire. But if you know how to handle it and how to use it properly, the life of your microscope can be extended. Using a metal case outfitted with soft interiors cushions the microscope from sudden bumps. Just don't drop it please. And always encasing the microscope with dust covers prevents the accumulation of dust in tiny spaces.

Now if you are ready to get one, always ask for a warranty, just in case. In the manufacturing business there's no excuse for not having an industrial microscope.

microscope parts?

what do these do?
ocular
nosepiece
objectives
stage
illuminator
fine adjustment knob
coarse adjustment knob

Ocular- what you look through, 10x or 15x magnification
Nosepiece- allows you to rotate the objective lenses
Objectives- lenses that magnify the subject by a given power. most microscopes have three objectives (often 4x, 10x, 40x or 10x, 40x, 100x)
Stage- where you put the slide so you can look at it. Often has clips to hold slide in place.
Illuminator- steady light source that illuminates subject so it can be seen through the ocular. Usually a small light, but can be a mirror to reflect light from another source.
Fine adjustment knob- moves the stage slowly up and down, changing the distance between the subject and the objective lens to bring the subject into focus. Use when the object is almost in focus but not quite.
Coarse adjustment knob- moves the stage more quickly up and down, use it before using the fine adjustment knob to bring the subject roughly into focus, then use the fine knob to fine-tune the focus. Use when object is really out of focus.

Good luck on your test!

We know the iPhone can do a lot of things, but turning it into a microscope never occurred to me… Brando is now selling an attachement for the iPhone 4 that will do just that.
