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, more precise focusing and plan objectives.
Quality starts with the objectives
The microscope features five plan achromatic objectives, offering better edge correction than semi-plan objectives and producing 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 mounts. The spring-loaded design of the 40x and 100x objectives protects the microscope slide from accidental breakage. Three types of wide-field plan eyepieces (WF10x, WF12.5x and WF16x) are available for the microscope, allowing you to tailor the magnification to your requirements.
LED illumination for outstanding colours
The specimen 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, while its illumination is more even. Another significant advantage is that it does not heat up and consumes less power. The 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 enable the use of Köhler illumination.
Precision above all else
In addition to the standard focusing mechanism, the microscope also features a calibrated 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 adjustment and can be positioned with 0.01 mm precision, eliminating the need to touch the specimen by hand and thereby cause vibrations in the microscope. All moving parts are free from backlash, making operation comfortable. The viewing head is inclined at 45° and can be rotated through 360°, allowing comfortable use from any direction. A camera can also be attached after removing the eyepiece.
The standard package also includes yellow, green and blue filters, as well as a durable dust cover to protect the microscope when not in use.
