  • MICROSCOPE IMMERSION FLUID APPLICATOR
    Publication number: 20060291041
    Abstract: A microscope fluid applicator includes an immersion fluid reservoir for storing immersion fluid and an applicator tip coupled to the immersion fluid reservoir. The microscope fluid applicator is releasably engaged to a moveable turret on a microscope. The microscope fluid applicator may be secured to an objective lens port on a turret of a microscope via threads. Immersion fluid is ejected from the applicator tip onto a sample holder. The turret may be rotated to place an immersion fluid objective into the immersion fluid. The sample may then be viewed through the immersion fluid. Any excess immersion fluid that is dispensed from the applicator tip may be collected in a fluid collector to prevent contamination of the microscope optics and other components.
