MICROSCOPE IMMERSION OIL DISPENSER

摘要

A microscope system has a rotatable turret having objective ports for receiving lens objectives. A liquid dispenser is received in one of the objective ports and is rotatable with the rotation of the turret. The liquid dispenser further has a nozzle for dispensing liquid and an inlet in communication with the nozzle. A liquid supply system supplies liquid to the liquid dispenser from a reservoir located remote of the turret. The turret can be rotated free of a force being exerted on it from the liquid dispenser and the liquid supply system. In use, an area of interest of a slide is identified and the turret is rotated so that the objective port having the liquid dispenser is selected as the active objective port. The liquid supply system is controlled so that liquid is dispensed onto the area of interest of the slide. The turret is further controlled to position a higher magnification immersion objective above the area of interest and to contact the dispensed liquid.
