What is a mechanical phase?

The mechanical phase is to connect a microscope that holds the slides in place and allows the user to control their location precisely. These devices can be useful for handling the glass at high magnification and fine operations where the position is very important. Attachments are available for the transfer of the basic microscope stage, flat platforms with clips, to the mechanical phase. Some new models come with mechanical phases or optional attachments. In particular, high -powered microscopes may need mechanical stages to work best.

For the use of a mechanical stage, they place the slip on the stage and plays it on the spot. The eyepieces can be adjusted to provide the desired focus and magnification to allow the user to display the image. Instead of manual relocation, the image and look at another area, the user controls the mechanical phase to pull the slides into another area. Many work with adjustable buttons. Users may need to experiment first because the TSK orientationIt can be confusing when they look through the eyepieces.

In very high magnification, the operator may want to do micromovement to see another part of the slip. Manual relocation does not offer the degree of accuracy available, while the mechanical phase does. The user may notice the x -axis coordinates on stage to carefully move the image. The image can be moved using mechanical controls to scan it, allowing the user to look for something special and stop it in more detail.

In addition to moving slides back and forth and up and down, the mechanical phase can offer an angle control. Sometimes it is necessary to tilt slides or samples. The technician can move the buttons to change the angle and explore the crystal structure or a similar phenomenon from another perspective. Such mechanical phases are more complicated to be harder to learn to operate so they are usually installed only when they are nuTne.

Computer-controlled microscopes can allow technicians to control the mechanical phase with programmed comments or hands-free technology. Sequences can be entered into a computer that makes the necessary adjustments, and in some cases they can also be controlled with verbal orders. This can be useful for activities such as demonstrations where the scientist may want to focus on the presentation of information. The user can program the settings in advance to move the image while discussing different features.
