MAGUS SPH1 phase contrast slider - MAGUS

The MAGUS SPH1 phase contrast slider is an observation accessory that uses the phase contrast method. It is designed specifically for the MAGUS Bio V300 inverted biological microscope and works together with the MAGUS 20HP and MAGUS 40HP phase objectives.

The slider has three apertures. The side openings have integrated inserts: one is used for working on a 20x magnification lens, while the second is for a 40x magnification lens. The central aperture does not have an insert and is used for working with the brightfield method. The slider is installed in the condenser housing of the microscope. After installation you need to align the slider openings with the phase rings of the lenses. For this purpose, an auxiliary centering telescope, included in the MAGUS Bio V300 microscope kit, is used.

The phase contrast microscopy method is used to study low-contrast living objects that cannot be seen in bright field. The method does not use staining as it is harmful to microorganisms.
