MAGUS SPH1 Phase Contrast Slider

The MAGUS SPH1 Phase Contrast Slider is an observation accessory that uses the phase contrast method. It is designed specifically for the MAGUS Bio V300 Inverted Biological Microscope and works in conjunction with the MAGUS 20HP and MAGUS 40HP phase objectives.

The slider has three openings. The side openings have built-in inserts: one is used to work on a 20x magnification objective, while the second is for a 40x magnification objective. The center aperture does not have an insert and is used to work with the brightfield method. The slider is installed in the condenser housing of the microscope. After installation, the slider openings must be aligned with the phase rings of the lenses. An auxiliary centering telescope is used for this purpose, which is included in the MAGUS Bio V300 microscope kit.

The method of phase contrast microscopy is used to study low-contrast living objects that cannot be seen in bright field. The method does not use staining since it is harmful to microorganisms.
