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 mounting, they can easily be replaced with objectives offering 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, so immersion oil is required for use.
The Scopium XSP-151B-LED microscope includes a WF16x wide-field eyepiece, providing magnifications of 64x, 160x, 640x and 1600x. 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
Transmitted-light illumination of specimens is provided by a 1W variable-intensity LED light, which is superior to conventional halogen versions in every respect. It produces a slightly bluish, more even light. It generates less heat and consumes less energy. The N.A.=1.25 Abbe condenser helps achieve optimal illumination, while its iris diaphragm enables even more precise control (see Köhler illumination).
Precise mechanics
The Scopium XSP-151B-LED biological microscope features coaxial coarse and fine focus controls. The graduated fine-focus control, with 0.01 mm increments, allows fast and precise focusing. The mechanical stage enables two-axis fine movement with 0.1 mm accuracy. This allows the specimen to be positioned precisely without manually moving the slide, 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.
