Upright Microscopes

Upright microscopes, also known as compound microscopes, are a common type of optical microscope used in various scientific, educational, and clinical settings. They are characterised by the placement of the objective lens above the specimen stage and are typically used for observing thin, transparent specimens mounted on glass slides. The advantages of upright microscopes include their versatility, adaptability for various observation techniques, customisation options, user-friendly design, and suitability for a broad range of applications in both research and education.
