Asbestos Testing with Microscopy Technology
Using EPA Certified Method for accurate asbestos identification.
What is Microscopy Technology?
Microscopy Technology is the usage of a low-powered magnifying microscope to identify asbestos fibers in materials. A polarized light microscope with illumination assists in further identification. This microscope then uses either dispersion staining or phase contrast objectives to enable the refractive indices of the asbestos fibers to be identified. Asbestos is ideally suited for analysis by light microscopy technology because it has optical properties that are not found in other minerals. So the existence of those properties is confirmation of asbestos existence.
What are the benefits of Microscopy Technology?
The benefits of Microscopy Technology are that we are able to produce distinct images with a better resolution than with the naked eye. It allows technicans to look into the structures and dynamic processes of materials and make better informed decisions that can drastically improve health and quality of life. The usage of microscopy technology has been around for centuries, but as technology advances, so do the benefits and usages of microscopes.
