Our Scopium XSP-191T-LED-Plan biological microscope is a sophisticated instrument offering above-average quality at an attractive price, with a wide range of optional upgrades available. Its optical components are naturally made of glass, with virtually no plastic used anywhere on the instrument. Its distinctive features include an enlarged frame, full Köhler illumination, even more precise focusing, and plan objectives.
Quality begins with the objectives
The microscope is equipped with 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 exchanged 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-field plan eyepieces (WF10x, WF12.5x, WF16x) are available for the microscope, allowing you to tailor the magnification to your individual needs.
LED illumination for outstanding colour reproduction
Slide illumination is provided by an integrated 3 W LED light source, which surpasses older halogen bulbs in many respects: its colour temperature delivers a more contrast-rich image, while its illumination is more uniform. Another significant advantage is that it does not heat up and consumes less power. The illumination can be fine-tuned in several ways: its intensity can be adjusted using a control knob and an iris diaphragm with an aperture diameter between 2 mm and 30 mm. In addition, the focus can be adjusted using the N.A. 1.25 Abbe condenser. These features allow the use of the Köhler illumination method.
Precision above all else
In addition to the standard focusing mechanism, the same axis also features a graduated fine-focus control with 0.002 mm increments, ensuring that the image can always be adjusted to razor-sharp clarity. 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 shake the microscope. All moving parts are completely free of backlash, making operation more comfortable.
Trinocular head for microscopy photography enthusiasts
For those serious about capturing what they see through the microscope, the trinocular head is a major advantage. The viewing head is inclined at 30° and can be rotated through 360°, allowing comfortable use from any direction. The tube on top of the viewing head is suitable for connecting cameras with a 23.2 mm diameter. (When using the camera port, light reaches only one eyepiece, so binocular viewing is not possible.)
The standard package also includes yellow, green and blue filters, as well as a durable protective cover to keep the microscope free from dust when not in use.
