Nasco’s new Transmission-Through-Dye (TTD) Light Microscope makes it easier to identify living microorganisms within debris found in lakes and ponds. This works by adding a nontoxic blue dye to a sample and shining a red light on it at a wavelength that is strongly absorbed by the dye.
Transmission-Through-Dye is a technique developed at Kent State University that is complementary to bright-field microscopy. The TTD microscope also functions as a regular microscope, allowing you to switch between red and standard white illumination.
