The **MX-900 Phase Contrast Microscope** is globally significant for revolutionizing the study of **live, unstained biological specimens**. Its importance stems from the specialized Phase Contrast technique, which converts microscopic differences in light refraction (caused by transparent cellular structures) into visible differences in brightness and contrast. This capability is paramount in disciplines like pathology, cell biology, and haematology.
In research centres across **New Delhi** and **Pune**, the MX-900 is critical for non-invasive observation of dynamic cellular processes, such as cell migration and division, without the need for toxic stains that can kill or alter the specimen. This allows scientists to maintain the physiological integrity of cells, leading to more accurate and reliable data in drug discovery and basic research, thereby boosting India's global scientific competitiveness.
