Microscopy (Principles)
The microscope’s objectives and optical zoom system enable the magnification of minute substances of samples placed on
the stage such as metal, mineral, and cells, so that microscopy and image capturing are performed with the focus adjusted
using the focus device.
Intended use of this product (for medical care)
This product is designed to be used for microscopic observation and photography of living cells, tissues and organisms.
This product is intended primarily for observation of and experimentation on living cells and tissues by those in fields such as
departments of obstetric, gynecology and dermatology, in hospitals. It is also used for observation of and experimentation on
living cells, tissues and organisms (nematode, drosophila, etc.) in research facilities.
This product can also be used for microscopic observation and photography of metals, minerals, electronic parts, etc. using
reflected illumination.
Note that the accuracy of the numeric information (such as magnifications or Z-position information) is not guaranteed.
These values are used as a reference and include a margin of error.
The product is classified as an in-vitro diagnostic medical device.
