Humanscale separation panels and desk dividers are easy to install, highly customizable, and designed to accommodate any office environment.

With cutting edge advancements like MCX LED technology, the Element Vision task light offers a generous foot-print of glare free illumination in a single light source - not commonly found in LED computer lamps. Element Vision provides the same effortless functionality found in all Humanscale task lights, moving fluidly without the need for knobs, switches or springs.

Element Vision's custom dimming capability allows for seven settings of light intensity. A motion sensor not only provides additional energy savings but remembers user settings, allowing the work environment to retain its levels of illumination.

Brightfield imaging or transmitted light microscopy usually has very low contrast between signal and background, therefore there are a number of techniques available which will be explained below.

An internal counterbalance provides effortless, one-touch positioning while also allowing for quick storage when not in use. Element Vision has an impressive reach of up to 28".

Bright fieldmicroscope advantages and disadvantages

Light path of a polarized light microscope. Note the polarizing filter below the sample and the analyser above the sample which allow discrete polarizations through.

In a polarized light microscope a polarizing filter is added immediately after the brightfield light source and an additional polarizing filter is fitted above the sample before the eyepieces or image capture device. The polarizer below the sample is usually adjustable by rotation to select for different polarization angles. See the light path diagram below.

With effortless adjustment and innovative heat management, Element Vision is one of the most advanced and intuitive LED task lights available.

As light passes through the sample where small changes in refractive index occur (eg the presence of cellular membranes) the two polarizations will be affected, and hence the interference will change, altering the resultant image.

A cut-away of the light path of a phase contrast upright microscope. The condenser annulus is visible below the condenser which only allows through one phase of light. Above the sample plane the phase plate (or sometimes called phase ring) blocks one specific phase of light, and lets through any light that has been refracted by the sample.

Polarized light microscopy is a contrast enhancing technique that improves resultant images where the sample being imaged has birefringent properties. This technique is often used for materials science, however can be very useful for some biological applications.

Normal white light is unpolarized, however optical elements can filter only one specific polarization as per the image below.

The Element Vision LED Light was created by the Humanscale Design Studio to tackle several ergonomic lighting problems seemingly at odds with each other: provide more light, but deliver greater efficiency in an adjustable, aesthetically pleasing design. The product of intense discussion and refinement between ergonomists, designers and engineers is Element Vision: a stunning LED task light.

Darkfield microscopy is a technique to increase contrast in your image when the refractive index of your sample very closely matches the refractive index of your imaging media. The technique works by blocking the light that comes directly onto the sample, and instead relies solely on stray rays of light to illuminate the sample from the image border.

Advanced MCX LED Technology provides a large footprint of ergonomic light from a single light source, producing an even plane of illumination creating a glare-free, single shadow work environment.

Element Vision is available in Silver, and White with Silver accents. Element Vision is also available an ultra-modern all Black finish.

Bright fieldmicroscope application

All Humanscale ergonomic chairs are designed to use the sitter’s own body weight and the laws of physics to encourage movement and provide unparalleled comfort.

Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) microscopy is a method used to enhance the contrast of transmitted light images by using polarization of light. By the introduction of two Nomarski prisms (one above and one below your sample), light is sheered into two discrete polarizations which interfere with one-another at the sample plane.

Ensuring the condenser is in the right position is vital for all of these techniques. To perform the correct alignment on the condenser requires a technique called Kohler Illumination, which examples and further explanations can be found here.

Humanscale monitor arms offer the ultimate stability and effortless functionality to instantly create a more ergonomic workstation.

Bright fieldmicroscope image

In the images below, the fibers do not appear to have a lot of contrast (a), however when illuminated by darkfield microscopy (b) much more contrast is apparent. In some circumstances you have too much contrast (c) when using conventional brightfield, this can also be improved when using darkfield (d) where less contrast is achieved.

Phase contrast microscopy is a technique used to increase contrast within transparent samples such as cells or thin tissue sections. The technique works by using an annulus at the condenser to only allow certain phases of light though the condenser and onto the sample. At the rear of the objective there is a matching (but inverted) phase plate, which blocks light let through the condenser annulus. Light that is diffracted by the sample will no longer be in the same phase and will bypass the phase ring and be directed onto the camera or imaging device.

Balanced movement is the key to wellness at work. Humanscale sit/stand products were designed to make changing postures throughout the day effortless.

Humanscale products have always been built for reuse. With Refreshed, our circularity program, we give products the extended life their built for and keep them out of landfills.

Brightfield microscopy is one of the most basic light microscopy techniques whereby the sample is illuminated by white light that is transmitted through the sample onto the detector. There are different methods available to increase contrast in brightfield images (phase contrast, DIC, Polarized Light and Darkfield) which are available on different systems.
