Digital microscopes versus ocular microscopes
Digital microscopes offer a lot of extra benefits to users. Danail Kuzarow reports.
T
he world of microscopes has been revolutionised in the past few years by
digital microscopes. Te advantage to the user is that modern digital microscopes are, depending on the application, easier to use than ocular systems.
It is theoretically possible to obtain similar quality results with ocular systems, but in practical day-to-day routine these results are very difficult to be achieve. Tey require a lot of know-how and a lot of studying of operating manuals to be able to find all functions and capabilities.
Live image Digital microscopes are available for simple applications such as taking a good quality picture within a reasonable amount of time – a few seconds. Such systems can be used even in small companies or departments which previously used
photo cameras or stereo microscopes. Te advantage for these users is that the live microscopic image offers fast observation, high resolution and a very high depth of field.
Another advantage is that these microscopes can be upgraded anytime due to a compatible

modular system. Because of this flexibility the user can expand or change the usage of the system anytime.
Large samples can be observed
