The present invention relates in general to microscopy systems. In particular, the present invention relates to microscopes rendering digital images of samples, with the capability to digitally control the focus of the microscope system, and the software used to control the operation of the digital microscope system. Further, the present invention relates to a microscope structure that allows for compact and multi-functional use of a microscope, providing for light shielding and control with samples that require specific light wavelength characteristics, such as fluorescence, for detection and imaging. The microscope is adjustable, with a structure that can move along range(s) of motion and degree(s) of freedom to allow for ease of access to samples, shielding of samples, and manipulation of a display apparatus.

A chamber that includes electrical contacts and a protective lid with a manually operated release is designed to receive a multi-well electroporation plate and to allow high-throughput electroporation on the well contents with minimal risk of electrical shock to the user and minimal opportunity for sample loss and contamination.
