The Higher the Magnification - The More Detail You'll See

Magnification 40x
Magnification 1000x
Magnification 2500x

Magnification is the ability of your microscope to make small objects seem larger. As the magnification increases the area being viewed will be decrease is size but the detail of the area being viewed will improve.

Amscope microscopes come with multiple magnifications to aid you in finding the proper magnification for viewing each specimen.

Camera Connection Types

When comparing 2.0 and 3.0 there are few major differences. First the transfer rates. USB 2.0 offers transfer rates of 480 Mbps and USB 3.0 offers transfer rates of 4.8 Gbps - that's 10 times faster.

Camera Resolution

The most important factor in ensuring successful microscopic imaging is choosing the appropriate optics and camera for your application that gives you more data and higher image quality. When selecting a microscope camera, it is best to base your decision on the most important requirements for your microscopic observation.

Key Features

  • Quickly spins down droplets in PCR plates
  • Unique swing-out rotor design prevents spillage (patented)
  • Half the size of traditional centrifuges
  • Accepts all popular types of PCR plates (skirted, semi, and non) and most microtiter plates

Benchmark’s PlateFuge™ is the first “mini†sized centrifuge with a swing out
rotor for microplates. Centrifuging plates before PCR ensures all reactants are
in the bottom of the wells for proper concentrations and improved yields.

 

In spite of its remarkably small footprint (9×10 in.), the PlateFuge™ includes a
uniquely designed, swing out rotor (patent pending) capable of securing
2 microplates. The easily accessible rotor chamber includes two plate carriers
that rest at a 75° angle. This allows plates to be inserted confidently without
sealing tapes or caps. Upon closing the lid of the centrifuge, the rotor
accelerates and the centrifugal force “swings†the plates into a horizontal
position. Any droplets on the walls of the plate quickly concentrate into
the well bottoms.

 

With a g-force of 600 xg, most samples can be spun down in less than 20 seconds.
To end a run, simply open the lid and the automatic, electric brake brings the
rotor to a quick, smooth stop in just 4 seconds. Plates can then be easily removed
from the rotor.
