image erecting systems

Image erecting systems are tools used in microscopy to correctly orient and display images of specimens, especially biological tissues. When samples are cut or prepared, they can appear inverted or reversed, making interpretation difficult. Erecting systems adjust these images, correcting their orientation so they appear as they would in reality—upright and easy to analyze. They often involve optical components like prisms or mirrors that flip or rotate the image within the microscope, ensuring scientists view specimens in their true anatomical position for accurate study and diagnosis.
