Warda Hassan (where?) >>would like to have some advice from expert from the field of pathology on microscope selection. Which one would you select as a manufacturer for microscopes?<<
Speaking from more than 50 years of going to and fro in the world of pathology, and walking up and down in it (apologies to Job 1:7b KJV): A pathologist gets one new microscope per career, and if it was an AO student scope 40 years ago (literally, I've had to work with several of them), SOL. The lab manager selects and specifies the pathologist's microscope, without input from the pathologist, and the pathologist needs to remember to put the dust cover on the microscope every evening. More detailed specs may be found in the annual update of The Hospital Administrator and Lab Manager's Handy-Dandy Guide to Making Life Hard for the Pathologist (ASCP Press publication). Some specific items: 2x low power objective lens: fuggeddabbouddit 100x oil immersion lens: ditto optical micrometer: ditto double head microscope: ditto polarizer: there's one on the pee scope across the hall photomicrography: jiss use your iPhone whole slide imaging: what's that?
