Microscopy (Principles)

Use objectives and eyepieces of the microscope to magnify minute cells and tissue optically, and manipulate levers and knobs of
the microscope unit to adjust the focus or move the observation point. Then observe or take photographs of the sample fixed on
the slide.
■ Intended use of this product (for medical care)
This microscope is intended for use in microscopic examination, diagnostics, observation and experiment of cells and tissues
at hospitals or other facilities or by doctors in private practice in the field of pathology, anatomy, and cytology.
The microscopy with diascopic/reflected illuminations is used to observe a sample fixed on the slide (cells and tissue) as the
specimen.
The product is classified as an in-vitro diagnostic medical device.
This product is not intended for use for measurement. The scale on the focus knob and stage is an indicator to reproduce the
position and does not guarantee the value of the thickness or length of a sample measured using this scale.
■ Intended user
It is intended for the researchers, medical professional and those who work on experiments in the field of pathology and
cytology.
