I am a researcher in the Department of Chemical Sciences at the University of Padua. Recently, I have shifted part of my research toward nanostructures—objects ranging in size from 500nm to a few dozen micrometers.
To make observations of liposomes, coacervates, and polymeric and metallic nanoparticles, I purchased the MAGUS Bio 230T biological microscope that is equipped with the MAGUS CLM30 digital camera for measurements in brightfield. I was amazed by the quality of the product, especially its ease of use. The images are high definition, even at sizes of just a few microns.
Intrigued by this performance, I also acquired the MAGUS Lum 400 fluorescence microscope, along with the MAGUS CLM50 digital camera, which is optimized for capturing fluorescence images and supplied with dedicated software. Once again, I was truly impressed by the quality of the product and the clarity of the observations that I was able to conduct.
Previously, I relied on optical and fluorescence microscopes from the other departments. I always found those instruments cumbersome to use. However, with MAGUS microscopes, the speed of observing multiple samples, the simplicity of operation, and the exceptional image quality have made this one of my best scientific purchases to date. Here are some illustrations:
