SS-MICROTEMP Heated Stage Microscope with LCD Screen

The SS-MICROTEMP Heated Stage Microscope is an essential tool for accurate equine semen analysis, featuring a heated stage that maintains the proper temperature for sperm evaluation. This is crucial when assessing sperm motility, especially in cooled or frozen semen, as temperature fluctuations can significantly impact sperm movement. By replicating the horse's natural body temperature, this microscope provides a more realistic assessment of sperm motility, allowing you to see the true movement capabilities of the sperm.

One of the key benefits of the heated stage is accurate motility assessment. Sperm motility can decrease when exposed to cooler temperatures, so the heated stage prevents underestimating the true motility of the semen sample. By maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the analysis, the heated stage improves consistency in your results, reducing variability and ensuring more reliable data. This is especially important when working with cooled or frozen semen, which tends to be sluggish at room temperature. The heated stage helps accurately assess the viability and fertility potential of the semen, making it a critical tool for breeding programs.

Additionally, the heated stage minimizes the risk of the semen sample rapidly cooling during examination, which could otherwise affect the accuracy of your analysis. To achieve optimal results, it's important to ensure the heated stage is set to the appropriate temperature, typically around 37°C, which is the horse's body temperature. For best practices, use pre-warmed microscope slides and coverslips when preparing the semen sample.

The SS-MICROTEMP microscope offers several important features that enhance its utility. It has a dual view system, including a 7-inch LCD screen for easy viewing alongside an eyepiece for detailed inspection. The microscope offers a magnification range from 40X to 2500X, allowing for a thorough examination of semen. The mechanical stage with coarse and fine adjustments ensures precise positioning of the sample, and the LED light source provides bright and clear illumination for accurate analysis.

Overall, the SS-MICROTEMP Heated Stage Microscope is a critical tool for equine reproduction professionals, providing precise and reliable semen evaluation to support successful breeding programs.
