Hey there, curious minds! Ready to dive into the microscopic universe? 🔬 Welcome to Microscopy Facts with Carton Optical Canada – your passport to the tiny wonders that often go unnoticed. We’re about to unravel the secrets hidden in the minuscule realms, explore the cool tech behind microscopes, and drop some mind-blowing microscopy facts. Buckle up for a journey into the small but incredible world that shapes the big picture. Let’s make science a bit more awesome, shall we?

Factors to consider. 

• Magnification: There are two sources of magnification in a microscope; the objective lens and the eyepiece. Multiplying the former to the latter’s magnification provides its total magnification strength. 

• Optical quality: A major importance in microscopy is lens quality; this will affect clarity and the ease of which you can view the observed specimen in greater detail. At Carton our rigorous manufacturing process produces only the best  optical glass lenses for our microscopes. We start by taking semi-finished lenses and covering it with protective film to prep it for manufacturing. Then using a diamond cutting process we precisely cut the lenses to specific dimensions. Next we polish the surface of the lens to get rid of any roughness. Our quality control team checks the optical parameters such as shape, size and thickness for compliance and to ensure that it is up to industry standards. Finally the lenses go through a series of chemical baths to remove dust and provide protective coating before packaging and shipment.

• Illumination: There are many factors affecting the light source for microscopes including; color accuracy, heat, lamp life and ease of replacement. An optimal light source should illuminate the entire field of view evenly, provide good contrast and accurately show the true colors of the sample.
