Our Scopium XSP-191M-LED-Plan biological microscope is a sophisticated instrument offering above-average quality at an attractive price, with a wide range of upgrade options available. Its optical components are naturally made of glass, with virtually no plastic used in the instrument. Its distinctive features include an enlarged frame, full Köhler illumination, an even more precise focusing mechanism, and plan objectives.
Quality starts with the objectives
The microscope features five plan achromatic objectives, offering better edge correction than semi-plan objectives and delivering sharp, high-contrast images right 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 threads. The spring-loaded design of the 40x and 100x objectives protects the microscope slide against accidental breakage. Three types of wide-field plan eyepieces (WF10x, WF12.5x, WF16x) are available for the microscope, allowing you to tailor the magnification to your needs.
LED illumination for outstanding colours
The microscope slide is illuminated by an integrated 3 W LED light, which outperforms older halogen bulbs in several ways: its colour temperature provides a more contrast-rich image, while its illumination is more even. 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 with a control knob and an iris diaphragm ranging from 2 mm to 30 mm in diameter, while the focus can also be adjusted using the N.A. 1.25 Abbe condenser. All these features enable the use of Köhler illumination.
Precision above all else
In addition to the "standard" focusing mechanism, a graduated fine-focus control with 0.002 mm increments is provided on the same axis, ensuring that the image can always be adjusted to razor-sharp focus. The enlarged mechanical stage features precise two-axis movement and can be adjusted with 0.01 mm precision, eliminating the need to touch the specimen by hand and thus preventing vibrations of the microscope. All moving parts are free from backlash, ensuring comfortable operation. The viewing head is inclined at 45° and can be rotated through 360°, making it convenient to use from any direction. A camera can also be attached after removing the 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.
