Our Scopium XSP-191B-LED-Plan biological microscope is a sophisticated instrument offering above-average quality at an attractive price, with a wide range of optional accessories for further upgrades. Its optical components are naturally made of glass, with virtually no plastic used anywhere on the instrument. Its distinctive features include an enlarged stand, full Köhler illumination, more precise focusing and plan objectives.
Quality starts with the objectives
The microscope is equipped with five plan achromatic objectives, which provide better edge correction than semi-plan objectives and deliver sharp, high-contrast images all the way to the edge of the field of view. The standard configuration includes 4x, 10x, 20x, 40x and 100x objectives, which can be easily replaced thanks to their DIN-standard mounting. The spring-loaded design of the 40x and 100x objectives protects the slide from accidental breakage. Three types of wide-angle plan eyepieces (WF10X, WF12.5x, WF16x) are available for the microscope, allowing you to tailor the magnification to your needs.
LED illumination for outstanding colour reproduction
The slide is illuminated by an integrated 3 W LED light, which outperforms older halogen bulbs in many respects: its colour temperature enables a more contrast-rich image and provides more even illumination. Another significant advantage is that it does not heat up and consumes less power. Illumination quality can be fine-tuned in several ways: brightness can be adjusted using a control knob and an iris diaphragm with a diameter range of 2 mm to 30 mm, while the focus can also be adjusted using the N.A. 1.25 Abbe condenser. These features make it possible to use the Köhler illumination method.
Precision above all else
In addition to the standard focusing mechanism, the microscope features a graduated fine-focus control with 0.002 mm increments on the same axis, ensuring that the image can always be adjusted to razor-sharp focus. The enlarged mechanical stage features two-axis fine movement and can be adjusted with 0.01 mm precision, eliminating the need to touch the specimen by hand and thereby preventing microscope vibration. All moving parts are completely free of backlash, ensuring comfortable operation.
Binocular head for extended observation
For those serious about exploring the microscopic world, binocular viewing enables comfortable observation over extended periods. The viewing head is inclined at 30° and rotates through 360°, making it comfortable to use from any direction. A camera can be attached after removing one eyepiece.
The basic package also includes yellow, green and blue filters, as well as a durable dust cover to protect the microscope when not in use.
