Why is the Scopium XSP-151M-LED biological microscope so popular among our customers? It offers reliable optical and mechanical quality at an affordable price and can be expanded with numerous accessories. The instrument is constructed almost entirely from metal and glass components.
Excellent optics
The microscope features 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x achromatic semi-plan objectives, delivering sharp, highly detailed images across almost the entire field of view. Thanks to their DIN-standard mounting, they can be easily replaced with versions 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 damage. The 100x objective is oil-immersion, so immersion oil is required for use.
The Scopium XSP-151M-LED microscope comes with 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 monocular 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 illumination of specimens is provided by a 1 W dimmable LED light, which is superior to conventional halogen lighting in every respect. Its light has a slightly bluish tint and is more uniform. 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 adjustment (see Köhler illumination).
Precise mechanics
The Scopium XSP-151M-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 0.1 mm accuracy. This allows precise specimen positioning without manually moving the slide and helps prevent 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.
