How to select the right dental microscope
Mon Jul 25, 2022 12:56 pm
Microscopists are great for precision.
It is trusted and well-known and makes it easier for dental technicians to perform their work. The use of light microscopy technology to magnify structures which cannot be seen with the naked eyes or with difficulty has been a part of dentistry since the 16th century. This effect can be achieved by using optical lenses.
There are many types of microscopes on dental market. And there are at least as many differences among them. This blog provides a quick and simple explanation of how an optical dental microscope should look, what lighting is used to illuminate the smallest details, and also what features are most useful in a microscope when it comes to handling.
The optics
A digital camera's ability to produce sharp images is determined not by the number of pixels, but the quality and design of the optics. This is also true for microscopes: the quality of the optics, not the maximum magnification, determines the quality. There is a distinction between aspherical or spherical optics. However, aspherical lens have the advantage of not distorting the margins so that the object can be viewed sharply in focus.
Lighting
The microscope's optics are useless if the object goes dark. The best lighting will give you a clearer view. A good lighting match is crucial as the microscope may lose its focus. Microscopy is particularly well-suited to laterally arranged LED lighting. They can also be used to evaluate contrast on surfaces (diffused light), and they also provide excellent illumination (directed light).
Working distance
A small working distance can lead to back pain and long-term stress for the observer. A proper distance encourages ergonomic working. It is important that the distance between dental technicians and their patients be not too small. This will allow them to maintain an upright, comfortable posture. The optimal working distance has been found to be 150mm (5.91inches).
Assistance arm
The support arm serves two functions. It holds the microscope in a desired position and makes sure that hands and work space are free while operating the microscope. The support arm can also be used in dental laboratories. Since a microscope may not be available to every technician, it should be able swivel 360 degrees and have a sufficient radius of action. This will allow colleagues to get a fresh perspective on their work. It is important to design the spring tension so that the microscope and light source can be extended at maximum weight.
Convenience
The attractive, timeless optics are not the only important factor in purchasing a microscope. However, it is crucial to consider the ease of use. Now, it is as easy as pulling away from one and pushing towards the other. Screw clamps are easy to install and can be used on both thin and thick worktops (Dental Supplies).
