Optical sectioning with HMC Hoffman Modulation Contrast is particularly helpful in selecting a plane of observation. The image of a shallow plane of focus is not obscured by information above or below this plane. Relatively thick specimens can be viewed as series of successive planes.
Ideal when using plastic chambers
& other birefringent materials. birefringent plastic chambers has assisted scientists in gathering exciting new information about live specimens grown in plastic culture chambers. See photograph 1.
HMC objectives and condensers available in standard,
long and extra-long working
distance configurations. (LWD) condenser of a high numerical aperture (.5NA at 40mm). This enables the precise placement of micromanipulators. Other studies requiring LWD objectives and condensers such as cardiovascular studies, fertility and electrophysiology can be done with ample working space. The image will have both high contrast and high resolution. See photograph 2.
Optical sectioning with HMC of observation. The image of a shallow plane of focus is not obscured by information above or below this plane. Relatively thick specimens can be viewed as series of successive planes. See photographs 3a, b.
Can visualize structures which
have been labeled with Fluorescence. with incident light fluorescence. The morphology of fluorescing and non-fluorescing structures will be revealed without changing the objective or moving the specimen. See photographs 4a, b.
Eliminates halo common to phase
contrast. important information. Modulation Contrast does not create a halo. It therefore permits precise viewing of minute structural details such as edge configuration and lends itself to metrology. See photographs 5a, b. |
