- One mirror for ambient lighting
- One dust cover
- Three color filters
- One spare halogen bulb (6V/20W)
- One spare fuse
- One sample bottle of immersion oil
- One dry darkfield condenser
- One C-mount USB camera
- One 0.37X reduction lens
- Two sizing adapters
- One USB Type B to USB type A cable
Features:
- 40X to 2500X magnification range for studying a range of specimens including hair follicles, cells, and bacteria. 10X and 25X eyepieces provide 6 unique magnification settings.
- A top choice for veterinarians and clinics, this microscope provides high-quality optics and precision mechanics.
- The 2-layer mechanical stage with low-position controls, and coaxial coarse and fine focus promote an efficient workflow.
- Halogen lighting reduces eye strain for prolonged use.
- Includes a dry darkfield condenser. Darkfield observation will provide contrast in otherwise indistinguishable objects by highlighting changes in the refractive index.
- Monitor and capture photos and videos with the included ultra-sensitive 1.2MP USB 2.0 camera. Professional microscopy software for Windows, Mac, and Linux provides tools for image processing, measuring, and more.
This darkfield microscope provides enhanced contrast at low and intermediate magnifications. High-quality optics and precision mechanics have made this time-tested design a favorite for labs across many industries. Specialized darkfield optics allow you to observe live cells including blood and other fluids.
The binocular head can be customized for each user, with a sliding interpupillary adjuster for varying eye spacing, and diopters for both eyes to fine-tune focus for nearsighted users and for asymmetry. The head can be rotated 360°, and has a 45° incline for viewing while seated or standing. Interchangeable eyepieces allow for an expanded magnification range, or the use of special eyepieces with pointers and measuring reticles.
The objective turret provides instant access to 4 magnification levels to easily focus in on minute details from 40X to 1000X. Additional 25X eyepieces expand the maximum magnification to 2500X with 6 unique levels. This covers magnifications needed for studying hair follicles, cells, and bacteria. These high-quality lenses are achromatically corrected to improve resolution and color accuracy.
The 2-layer mechanical stage provides smooth and precise movement for examination of specimen slides. The stage's low-position controls are conveniently placed near the coaxial focus knobs for a streamlined workflow. Examining specimen slides is intuitive and precise for users at any skill level.
The halogen sub-stage lighting provides bright illumination with excellent color rendering. The warm lighting is better suited for prolonged use, causing less eyestrain than LED and fluorescent lighting. The Abbe light condenser has a high 1.25 numerical aperture for oil immersion, and an iris diaphragm to optimize contrast and depth-of-field. The condenser holder uses rack-and-pinion movement for precise height adjustment.
A dry darkfield condenser is included for darkfield observation using the 40X objective lens or lower. With a 0.9 numerical aperture, the condenser works with non-immersion lenses. Two centering screws allow you to properly center the condenser for optimal contrast. Darkfield observation will provide contrast in otherwise indistinguishable objects by highlighting changes in the refractive index. This is particularly useful for observing live cells including blood analysis.
Monitor and capture photos and videos with the included 1.2MP USB 2.0 camera. The ultra-sensitive back-illuminated sensor is designed to excel at low-light imaging, making it ideal for fluorescence and darkfield microscopy. A 0.37X reduction lens is included to capture more of the microscope's field of view. Professional software for Windows provides a wide assortment of capture and photo-editing functions including color correction, time-lapse capture, image stitching, and a full complement of measuring tools. There is a lite version of software for Mac and Linux with essential functionality for capturing photos and videos.
