An inverted microscope is necessary for routine observation of cell culture. This VWR unit produces good images. Some of the fit and finish, features, and especially documentation could be better but this is a budget unit.
The included phase telescope (Bertrand) lens is placed in the eye tube and used to view the focal plane for alignment. This lens is adjusted by extending or retracting the lens until the back focal plane comes into focus. At that point, one can align the various components.
Quality phase contrast image
Poor documentation for optic alignment
A good phase contrast microscope but don't expect bells and whistles at this price.
