PROTECTOR FOR SPECIMEN TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT AND SPECIMEN TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the occurrence of dew condensation on slide glass and the consequent clouding thereof when a specimen temperature management device for the microscope is used by being cooled. ;SOLUTION: The protector for the specimen temperature management device used in the specimen temperature management device having a cooling plate has a box body 55 having a specimen cooling plate 57 riding on the cooling plate and a dry air supply section for supplying dry air to a specimen arrangement space 59 which is the inside of this box body 55. When an objective lens L is inserted into a lens insertion hole 58a and the dry air is blown to the space 59, the dry air spreads evenly to the inside of the space 59 and dehumidifies the top surface of the slide glass and the lens face of the objective lens L. This air flows through an exhaust path 62 and an exhaust recessed part 62a so as to escape to the light transmission hole of the specimen temperature management device and dehumidifies the portion of the under surface of the slide glass closing the light transmission hole 61.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2001,JPO
