Hawker Richardson Lynx Stereo Microscope

Lynx Stereo Microscopes are suitable for intricate tasks that require high-resolution stereo viewing, such as observation of stem cells. The eyepiece-less optics of the product means it can be placed behind the glass within a laminar flow cabinet, allowing researchers to inspect the live stem cells in both bright- and dark-field illumination with up to 40x magnification.

The microscope head allows the system to deliver clarity and accuracy through a viewer instead of the traditional binocular eyepiece. This allows the operator to view the subject without the need to be directly in contact with the microscope, and to wear prescription spectacles if needed. The device allows for movement and flexibility, with a range of vertical adjustments allowing the instrument to be quickly set up at the desired eye level for any operator and correspondingly to enforce correct posture from being the glass.

The microscope enhances the contrast of stem cells by the tilting mirror within the sub-stage of the unit. This creates a pseudo effect for both dark- and bright-field microscopy, maximising the contrast of the cells for both inspection and manipulation. Both fields are important features for both dissection and inspection.
