I'm starting my first pathology job in a few months and the group is going to order me a new microscope. I've just used the microscopes we've had in our department while in residency and haven't really had to think about specifics before. Our department has pretty much all Olympus scopes and that's basically all I've used. Is there anything specific I should ask for that I might not be thinking about?
Our department mainly has Olympus BX41's and one ergonomic BX45 which I have liked. I'll do a mix of general surgical pathology and bone marrows so I was thinking about asking for a BX45 with 2x, 4x, 10x, 20x, 40x, 50xoil, 100x oil in septuple nosepiece, with a polaring feature and an adjustable telescopic eyepieces.
Are there specifics about the objective lenses I should be thinking about?
Does anyone have experience with Nikon microscopes?
