Inverted Microscope, Nikon Eclipse TE-2000U

Nikon inverted microscope.jpg

This microscope has its light source and condenser on the top, above the stage pointing down, while the objectives and turret are below the stage pointing up. The stage on an inverted microscope is usually fixed, and focus is adjusted by moving the objective lens along a vertical axis to bring it closer to or further from the specimen. The focus mechanism typically has a dual concentric knob for coarse and fine adjustment.  read more »

MilliQ Water purification sys_1.jpg

Model details: Elix 3 UV Water Purification System (120 V / 60 Hz), Millipore
Principle:
Tap water initially passes through a Proguard pretreatment pack; removes particles and free chlorine from the water. The water is then pressurized with a pump and then is purified by reverse osmosis (RO). The RO product water then passes through an electrodeionization (EDI) module; reduces levels of organic and mineral contaminants. The removal of organics, ions and bacteria has been monitored using, respectively, a TOC analyzer and ion chromatography.  read more »
