In the application field of microscope, auto focus microscope and zoom auto focus microscope provide a powerful aid for scientific research, industrial inspection and so on. However, many people are often confused when choosing between them. What is the difference between these two products? Today, we will start from POMEAS products and bring you an in-depth understanding of their differences.

Optical Systems: Imaging Accuracy vs. Flexibility

Ordinary AF microscopes are equipped with ordinary lenses, which can meet the basic imaging needs in daily observation. On the other hand, the zoom AF microscope is equipped with an automatic zoom lens, which makes it more intelligent and convenient to adjust the magnification. When you need to observe the overall shape of the object, low magnification can satisfy; once you want to explore the details, the auto-magnification lens can quickly switch to the appropriate high magnification to realize the auto-magnification focusing, the whole process does not need to be manually operated, which greatly improves the observation efficiency, which is an advantage that is difficult to reach with ordinary lenses.

Light source system: all-round illumination of the observation field

The light source is essential for microscopic observation. Normal autofocus microscopes use a ring light source, which provides uniform illumination of the sample through overall adjustment and is suitable for observation of most routine samples. The quadrant light source of the zoom autofocus microscope is more flexible. In the observation of some complex samples, different areas may have different needs for light, the quadrant light source can be adjusted to provide the most appropriate light intensity and angle for different parts of the sample, truly no observation of the dead space, so that every detail is clearly visible.

Application Scenarios

In basic teaching experiments: ordinary auto focus microscope can satisfy students' observation and learning of common biological samples and simple materials with its easy-to-use and basic imaging ability.

In the field of industrial precision inspection: such as the defect detection of electronic chips and microstructure analysis of precision mechanical parts, the zoom AF microscope, with its automatic zoom lens and quadratic light source, can accurately locate and clearly present small defects and complex structures to ensure the accuracy of product quality inspection.
