Eyepieceless allows sample analysis through the glass of laminar flow cabinets.

Feb. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Vision Biomed is a division of Vision Engineering has been manufacturing ergonomically optimised microscopes since 1958.  With this experience and dedication, Vision Biomed design, manufacture and distribute stereo microscopes and routine laboratory microscopes benefiting from superior ergonomics, optimising accuracy and throughput.

The Lynx stereo microscope is used increasingly in laboratories as a solution for observing stem cells in laminar flow cabinets.  The patented eyepieceless viewer of the Lynx is designed to deliver a stereo view to clinicians, without the need to have the eyes placed directly onto the eyepiece – ideal for observations wearing safety goggles or spectacles..  The ergonomics provided by this technology enables operators to benefit from greater freedom of head movement and the image projected through the viewer means observations can be conducted through the glass of the cabinet.

Cells can be analysed using observational modes (by a configured mirror) darkfield and brightfield allowing contrast to be applied to the cells for different samples.  

The eyepieceless stereo optics delivers a bright, high-resolution image at magnifications up to x120. Lynx also allows operators to view cells with an apparent distance to the image of the viewed cells, identical to that of the actual distance to the dish. As operators frequently alternate their views from the magnified cell to the actual slide (especially when adjusting the slide), this eliminates the need for the eyes to refocus each time – a tangible advantage in reducing eyestrain and fatigue.
