MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611107171 A) filed by Swami Rama Himalayan University on September 05, 2026, for A Dual-Mode Optical Microscope System And Method With A Rotatable C-Shaped Support.
Inventors include Dr. Bhavna Pal; Dr. Chandra Shekhar; and Dr. Hreetabh Kishore.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to optical microscopy, and particularly to a dual-mode optical microscope system having a supporting base, a circular ring platform, a substantially C-shaped support member, an illumination source, an imaging assembly, and a specimen stage arranged between the illumination source and the imaging assembly. The substantially C-shaped support member forms a common optical chassis that rotates through approximately 180 degrees relative to the circular ring platform, preferably by a worm gear type arrangement and locking mechanism, to selectively establish upright imaging and inverted imaging within the same instrument while maintaining optical alignment. The system advances existing microscopes by integrating both modes in one rigid, rotatable structure with an independently adjustable specimen stage providing X-Y, Z, and rotational positioning. The invention is principally used for microscopic observation and imaging of specimens requiring either upright or inverted optical access.
