The Scopium XSP-191B-LED-Plan biological microscope is a sophisticated instrument offering above-average quality at an affordable price, and it can be extensively upgraded with accessories. Its optical elements are naturally made of glass, with virtually no plastic found on the device. A unique feature is its enlarged frame, along with full-Koehler illumination and a more precise focusing mechanism, as well as plan objectives.
Quality Begins with the Objectives
The microscope is equipped with five plan achromatic objectives, which offer better edge correction than semiplan objectives and provide sharp, high-contrast images all the way to the edge of the field of view. The standard equipment includes objectives with magnifications of 4x, 10x, 20x, 40x, and 100x, which are easily interchangeable thanks to their DIN standard connection. The 40x and 100x objectives have a spring-loaded design to protect the slides from accidental breakage. You can choose from three types of wide-field plan eyepieces (WF10X, WF12.5x, WF16x), allowing you to customize the magnifications to your needs.
LED Lighting for Outstanding Colors
The slide illumination is provided by a built-in 3 W LED light, which surpasses older halogen bulbs in many ways: its color temperature allows for more contrastive images, and its light is more even. Additionally, it does not heat up and consumes less power. The quality of illumination can be fine-tuned with various solutions: the intensity can be adjusted with a dial and an iris diaphragm ranging from 2 mm to 30 mm in diameter, and the focus can even be changed with the N.A. 1.25 Abbe condenser. All these features enable the application of the Koehler illumination method.
Precision Above All
Alongside the "normal" focusing mechanism, there is a coaxial fine focus with a 0.002 mm step size, allowing the image to be adjusted to razor-sharp clarity. The enlarged mechanical stage is equipped with bidirectional fine movement and can be adjusted with 0.01 mm precision, eliminating the need to manually touch the specimen, which could shake the microscope. The moving parts are free from any backlash, making work comfortable.
Binocular Head for Prolonged Observation
For those serious about observing the microscopic world, the binocular view allows for prolonged, comfortable observation. The viewing head is inclined at 30° and can be rotated 360°, making it convenient to use from any direction. After removing one eyepiece, a camera can also be attached.
The basic package also includes yellow, green, and blue filters, as well as a strong protective cover to shield the microscope from dust when not in use.
