Working Principle
The AFM-100 Fluorescent Microscope works by directing light from the mercury lamp through the selected excitation filters onto the specimen. Fluorescent dyes in the sample absorb this light and emit visible fluorescence, which passes through barrier filters before reaching the eyepiece or camera port. The infinite optical system produces bright, clear, and sharp fluorescent images. The mechanical stage and fine focusing allow precise positioning and optimal focus for accurate observation and imaging.
