The advantage of the transmitted light method for biological use is that the specimens, which are immersed in non-polarized light, remain unchanged and undisturbed. This is particularly important in clinical or veterinary diagnostics or in the study of pathogenic or ornamental molluscan diseases. The transmitted light method allows for a homogenous specimen illumination over the entire specimen. Single or multiple subjects can be analyzed in succession. As the light intensity increases or decreases, the intensity of the light source remains constant and the intensity of the reflected light decreases or "de-renders" the specimen to a certain extent. The highly polished stainless steel base distributes and supports the weight of the specimen and specimen such that the specimen remains on the base without additional support. This feature also enables a reduction in the size of the specimen splatter. This feature is not present in the transmitted light method. The bi-directional reflected/transmitted light system prevents specimen or slide contamination from ambient light and gives more control over the light conditions. Because the bi-directional light source is internally lit, ambient and reflected light are switched on simultaneously. Thus specimen identification, color recognition, and preservation of the specimen are only needed for the transmitted light mode.![]()
