FAQ
Which veterinary cytology / histology slides does this microscope read? Routine veterinary cytology smears (FNA, ear cytology, urine sediment), histopathology slides, fecal flotation / direct smear, urinalysis sediment, and hematology (Diff-Quik / Wright-Giemsa stained) workflow.
Is the LED illumination replaceable in field? Yes. LED modules are field-replaceable as service parts. Estimated LED life ≥20,000 hours under normal use.
Can the eyepieces and objectives be swapped with other brands? Eyepieces use a standard tube (Ø23.2 mm) and objectives use a standard RMS or DIN thread (per model spec). Most third-party objectives and eyepieces are interchangeable.
