Gout Testing. Medical professionals use gout microscopes assembled specifically for identifying gout or CPPD (pseudo-gout) crystals suspended in synovial fluid. Lab technicians prepare a wet smear on a microscope slide with the fluid and use polarized microscopy to determine the presence of sodium urate crystals (gout) or calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate or CPPD within the fluid. CPPD crystals are small rods, squares, or rhomboids and are usually harder to identify without a gout or polarized light microscope. Polarizing filters can be easily adjusted when using the gout microscope. These microscopes are used for identification of crystals present in body fluids.
The MT9500 Series Gout Testing Microscopes for the identification of crystals present in body fluids. The MT9500 Series has been designed as a versatile, modular, ergonomic microscope system which are ideally suited in education, research or advanced laboratory applications. Ergonomic placement of controls allows for stress free operation, increased lab efficiency and maximum productivity. Transmitted 6V 30W Koehler Halogen illuminator with strain free condenser and strain free ∞ Infinity Corrected objectives. Intermediate tube with built in analyzer and compensator slot and rotatable polarizer with full wave plate. The MT9500 Series offers an outstanding range of features and optical performance with an emphasis on all newly engineered high performance optics based on Meiji Techno’s ICOS Optical System (Infinity Corrected Optical System). The new optics, provide exceptionally bright, crisp images, with good color rendition and superior flat fields of view.
