Controlled from your smartphone, tablet, or computer, these robust and compact microscopes are ideal where mobility is desired. ioLight portable microscopes excel as tools for viewing animal and plant cells, for veterinarians and parasitologists counting worm eggs in the field, and for counting cells, particles and other small samples.

Viewing of fluorescent samples:

  • Great where bench space is limited
  • For samples >5-10um in size
  • Great for education, science outreach and demonstrations
  • In the lab the microscope is suitable for qualitative sorting of samples, eg sorting organisms that are successfully expressing GFP (or other fluorophores) from those that are not
  • Not suitable for quantitative fluorescence measurements

Featues:

  • One excitation wavelength = 465nm (blue).
  • High pass filter at 500nm. So you will see emissions in the green, yellow and red.
  • The working distance is about 1mm, which usually requires slide mounting.
  • The microscope uses transfluorescence with the source on the opposite side of the sample from the lens. Epifluorescence (with the source and the lens on the same side of the sample) is more usual on laboratory microscopes.
  • Limited brightfield capability.
  • The head position determines the focus. There is just one focal plane, so one head position with the correct focus. The field of view is fixed at 1.17mm, but you can zoom in on your tablet or other device.
