Sample: Glomerulogenese Tissue Microscope: CX43

The CX3 series are comprehensive and offer an
accommodating design that has won everyone over.
The remarkably low weight of the CX3 series is notable.
We often provide courses and workshops that require
microscopes to be relocated, and this is much easier to do
with the new CX3 series compared to larger microscopes.
The CX3 series is relatively compact compared with other
microscopes and has a highly ergonomic design that
enables all functions to be operated comfortably with
arms and hands resting on the work surface. The energy
efciency of products is an increasingly important concern
at our company, so we appreciate the long-life and low
energy consumption of the LED illumination.
The CX3 series are not only for students but are also great
solutions for lab workers who tend to spend long periods
of time sitting at the microscope and who will benet from
the ergonomic design.

Sample: Tuberculosis bacteria Microscope: CX43
Acid-fast smear microscopy is still one of the key applications for the examination of tuberculosis in
our institute. For Ziehl-Neelsen staining, “strong red (bacilli) and weak blue (background)” appearance
is very important. Fluorescent staining needs bright color and clear contrast. The CX43 satises the
requirements for both examinations.

The CX43 microscope is easy to operate. We do not need to adjust the Köhler illumination, and there
are many functions in the microscope to prevent errors, enabling workers to focus on observation.
The LED light has a long life and it reduces eye strain. Including brighteld, this compact microscope
also supports polarization and uorescence observation and can meet the needs of daily lab work.

The CX43 microscope is very small and suitable for small labs. For lab workers who need to observe more
than 100 slides every day, it is very convenient to operate the XYZ-axis knobs with one hand. This can
improve work efciency and reduce hand fatigue. I like handling the slide with ngers to observe, so the
removable holder and XY stage lock pin are very helpful.
