In September 2022, the analytical infrastructure of the Department of Environmental Magnetism and Reclamation was equipped with the new Olympus DSX 1000 digital microscope. With this device it is possible to carry out detailed studies on the morphology of different types of particles.

The DSX1000 provides a number of critical advantages over conventional digital microscopes including an all-in-one low- and high-magnification range; high resolution and long working distance in one objective; multiple observation methods at all magnifications; and guaranteed accuracy and repeatability at all magnifications.

Basic technical parameters:

  • High-resolution image at high magnification (down to the micrometre range)
  • Examination of the sample with five different observation methods: BF, DF, MIX, PO, DIC
  • Motorised head
  • Creation of 3D images with the most advanced algorithms
  • Creation of panoramic images with automatic stitching
  • Measurements of the height, volume, line and surface roughness of the examined object
