Microscope World recently had a customer who wanted to do some analysis as to whether their hair care serum was actually working. In order to test the product, single strands of hair needed to be tested under a high power
biological microscope.
Photos of the same strand of hair that was tested before and after the hair serum was applied were captured using the
Digital BA210 biological microscope.

When viewing a single strand of hair under a biological microscope it is important to keep the strand of hair flat or at least pulled tight so that all surfaces of the hair are on the same focal plane, otherwise portions of the strand of hair will not be in focus.
