Why is the Scopium XSP-151B-LED biological microscope so popular among our customers? It offers reliable optical and mechanical quality at an affordable price and can be expanded with a wide range of accessories. The instrument is made almost entirely of metal and glass components.
Excellent optics
The microscope features 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x achromatic semi-plan objectives, delivering sharp, detailed images across almost the entire field of view. Thanks to their DIN-standard mounts, they can easily be replaced with objectives of different magnifications. The spring-loaded design of the 40x and 100x objectives helps protect both the slide and the objective from accidental impacts and breakage. The 100x objective is oil immersion type and therefore requires immersion oil.
The Scopium XSP-151B-LED microscope comes with a WF10x wide-field eyepiece, providing 40x, 100x, 400x and 1000x magnification. Additional magnification ranges can be achieved using other eyepieces. The 45° inclined, 360° rotatable binocular viewing head ensures comfortable observation from any direction. After removing the 23.2 mm diameter eyepiece, a compatible camera can be attached in its place.
Modern LED illumination
Specimens are illuminated from below by a 1 W adjustable-brightness LED light, which is superior to conventional halogen illumination in every respect. Its light has a slightly bluish tint and provides more even illumination. It generates less heat and consumes less energy. The N.A.=1.25 Abbe condenser helps achieve optimal illumination, while its iris diaphragm allows even more precise control (see Köhler illumination).
Precision mechanics
The Scopium XSP-151B-LED biological microscope features coaxial coarse and fine focusing controls. With 0.01 mm increments on the graduated fine focus control, focus can be adjusted quickly and precisely. The mechanical stage enables two-axis fine movement with an accuracy of 0.1 mm. This allows the specimen to be positioned accurately without manually moving the slide, while preventing accidental movement of the microscope.
The basic package also includes yellow, green and blue filters, as well as a durable dust cover to protect the instrument when not in use.
