FNA microscopy typically begins with low-power screening and progresses to higher magnification to assess individual cells and groups. The microscope is for slide examination, not for performing the needle aspiration procedure itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features and Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInfinity-corrected plan optics and wide-field 10x eyepieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable-intensity 5W LED transmitted illumination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrinocular head supports compatible digital imaging accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical stage and Abbe NA 1.25 condenser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon FNA Cytology Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-power scanning of stained fine-needle aspirate smears to locate representative cellular areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntermediate-power evaluation of cellularity, background material and cell-group distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigher-power examination of cell morphology and nuclear detail using 40x and 100x oil-immersion objectives as appropriate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReview of lymph-node, thyroid, salivary-gland, breast or other aspirate preparations by trained cytology professionals when validated for the laboratory's workflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended FNA Workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBegin with 4x or 10x to locate diagnostic material, use 40x to assess cellular architecture, and use the 100x oil-immersion objective for finer cellular detail where required.
