D130C-8M Includes Only:
- One dual-view microscope
- Four objectives lenses: 4X, 10X, 40X, 100X
- One 10X eyepiece
- One 25X eyepiece
- Obe blue filter
- One dust cover
- One C-mount USB camera
- One 0.5X reduction lens
- Two sizing adapters
- One USB Type B to USB type A cable
- One software CD
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 second viewing port allows a second person to simultaneously view specimens or add a camera for streaming and recording photos and video. This is perfect for online classes.
- The microscope uses a 4-lens turret for a wider magnification range and a dual-layer mechanical stage for precise control over specimen movement.
- The built-in LED lamp provides bright illumination, lower heat for sensitive specimens, and improved energy consumption.
- Monitor and capture photos and videos with the included 8MP USB 2.0 camera. Professional microscopy software for Windows, Mac, and Linux provides tools for image processing, measuring, and more.
Designed primarily for educational use, the D130 offers dual monocular viewing ports that can be used by two simultaneous users or a single user and a camera. This model also uses a quadruple lens turret for four magnification settings and a dual-layer mechanical stage for precise control over specimen movement. As a dual-user microscope in a classroom, a teacher can see what the student sees. This allows the student to be instructed while viewing a specimen. By using an optional camera on the second port, real-time video can be streamed to a computer and recorded, or used with popular video conferencing apps to provide remote streaming. This functionality is perfect for remote learning and professionals who need to share videos with online peers.
The dual monocular head is somewhat unique, providing two viewing ports that can be used simultaneously. The main viewing port uses a simple design, requiring no adjustment. Simply use the standard 10X eyepiece or any other optional magnification and get to work. The second port is designed for a second user or a camera and has height adjustment to ensure the focus matches the main port. The head can swivel 360° depending on your preferred working position.
The objective turret provides instant access to 4 magnification levels to easily focus in on minute details from 40X to 1000X. An additional 25X eyepiece expands the maximum magnification to 2500X with 6 unique levels. This covers magnifications needed for studying hair follicles, cells, and bacteria. The turret's reversed orientation provides more working room above the stage. 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 LED sub-stage lighting provides cool, energy-efficient illumination. The light source is daylight-balanced to produce natural colors for imaging, and its low heat emission has less impact on live cells and other heat-sensitive specimens. The height-adjustable Abbe light condenser offers control over contrast and depth of focus.
Monitor and capture photos and videos with the included 8.0MP USB 2.0 camera. The C-mount camera is specially designed for use with microscopes, allowing you to watch live images, and to record photos or videos on your computer. This ability to view microscopic images on your computer reduces eye strain and allows groups of people to view images at the same time. A 0.5X reduction lens is included for use with 23mm-30.5mm ports 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.
