  • Patent number: 5062697
    Abstract: An apparatus including a first and second cylindrical body member separately and coaxially mounted relative to one another with the first body member including a resilient perimeter eye piece mounted about a forward terminal end thereof to permit viewing interiorly of the first cylindrical body member through a focusing lens. The focusing lens coaxially aligned with a plurality of fixed lenses positioned forwardly of a slide receptacle for a slide member directed therethrough for sampling of various blood samples therewithin. A sample transparency is positionable forwardly of the slide member to permit visual observation of normal and abnormal blood samples for comparison with a sample mounted within the slide member. Illumination means is mounted rearwardly of the slide member.

  • Patent number: 5052788
    Abstract: A microscope telescope comprises a base, (3) an arm (1) rotatably attached to the base, a microscope barrel (49) attached to the arm, an objective-holding tube (55) and a telescope tube, (65) removably attachable to the microscope barrel for alternative use. The instrument functions as a microscope by attaching the objective-holding tube to the microscope barrel and also functions as a telescope, when desired, by attaching the telescope tube to the microscope barrel, from which the objective-holding tube is removed, and by rotating the arm at a desired angle with respect to the base.

  • Patent number: 5038035
    Abstract: An automatic structure analyzing/processing apparatus for surface structure of material includes a structure observing device for observing structure of a surface of material to produce an electrical image signal thereof, a sample stage disposed opposite to the observing means an image processing device for converting the image signal from the structure observing device to digital signal and expanding or contracting a desired image reproduced from a memory means or combining a plurality of images reproduced from the memory means to produce an image signal, the memory device storing the digital signal processed by the image processing device, and a display device for displaying the image signal produced from the image processing device as an image, whereby the structure of the surface of material is stored in the memory as the image and examination of the structure can be made readily in a short time.
