If you spend any time inspecting metallic parts or circuit boards under a stereo inspection microscope, you’ll be familiar with the persistent challenge of glare and excessive reflection. Glare can easily obscure defects or structural detail – and in electronics, the slightest defect may ruin your whole inspection process. Fortunately, Polarizing LED ring lights provide a relatively cheap and easy solution to the problem of glare from metallic samples (PCBs, bare solder boards, connectors or copper parts).

With daily inspection using a decent quality wastewater treatment microscope, you can determine the biological health of your wastewater monitoring quickly and reliably. The speed and ease of microscopic inspection makes it invaluable for early detection of potential problems (changes to F/M (food to microorganism ratio), bulking and shocks) – often before they can be detected by other methods. However, you’ll need the right microscope for the task at hand.

Kohler illumination is an alignment technique that reduces stray light and glare caused by reflections inside your microscope. By setting up your light path correctly using Kohler illumination, you’ll greatly enhance the visibility of your specimen.
