The new equipment is a high-quality inverted microscope (Axiovert 200 MAT, Carl Zeiss), which has additional modules, and allows the simultaneous visual and video observation, as well as the photometry and digital registration of the thin liquid films images. The microscope was delivered and put into action in September 2006. It is equipped with a photometric device with high sensitivity (50 A/lm), a high-resolution digital camera (AxioCam HRm), supplied with specific image analysis software (AxioVision), and a high-quality (3 CCD) video camera (HV-D20R, Hitachi) for imaging of the thin liquid films in real time. With the new equipment the unique Bulgarian experiments in the field of thin liquid films are lifted on a new more reproducible and more precise experimental level.
