Included Configuration & Technical Specifications

Applications

Mohs surgery: Survey stained frozen tissue sections at low magnification and examine selected tissue features at higher power.

Dermatopathology: Review stained skin biopsies and prepared pathology slides.

Histology and clinical laboratories: Perform routine brightfield microscopy of prepared tissue sections.

Veterinary pathology: Examine prepared animal tissue slides in diagnostic or research workflows.

Why the 2X Objective Matters

The Plan 2X objective helps the operator see more of a tissue section at once, which is useful when first locating tissue and surveying broad regions before switching to 4X, 10X, 20X or 40X magnification.
