Document Summary
Bright eld microscopy inverted microscope: objective is coming from the bottom and they are can read. Fluorescence: attached to a camera on beside the camera is connected to a computer and it will allow you to acquire images from the software downloaded o computer here. Step 2: on computer go to acquisition, click o autoscale acquisition (scaling and adjusting light for you, acquisition > take a video. If black image (not enough light: right click go to plot > data histogram, shows how much light you are using, low 0 high 4000.
