Inverted Microscopes

Inverted Microscopes provide an ideal method of observing living cells and organisms. When placed in an agar plate or Petri dish, heavier, denser cellular material sinks to the bottom of its solution. Unlike standard microscopes which image from above the sample, Inverted Microscopes image from below. Placing the objectives below the stage so that they image through the bottom of the sample container and towards the light source and condenser forms a more efficient image, avoiding the distortion caused by layers of solution.
