The Scopium XSP-191T-LED-Plan biological microscope is a sophisticated instrument that offers above-average quality at an affordable price, and it can be extensively upgraded with accessories. Its optical elements are naturally made of glass, and virtually no plastic is found on the device. A unique feature is its enlarged frame, along with full-Koehler illumination and even more precise focusing, 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 can be easily replaced thanks to their DIN standard connection. The 40x and 100x objectives feature a spring mechanism to protect the slide from accidental breakage. The microscope offers a choice of three 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 a more contrasty image, and its light is more even. Additionally, it does not heat up and consumes less power. The quality of the 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 also be adjusted 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 scaled fine focus with a 0.002 mm step size on one axis, ensuring that the image can always 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 play, making work comfortable.
Trinocular Head for Microphotography Enthusiasts
For those who are serious about capturing the image seen through the microscope, the trinocular head is a great help. The viewing head is inclined at 30° and can be rotated 360°, making it comfortable to use from any direction. It also features an independent camera connector, which, due to its vertical design, evenly distributes the camera's weight and does not interfere with visual observation. When using a camera, only one of the binocular views is usable because the other light path is directed to the camera using the light path switch on the microscope head.
The basic package also includes yellow, green, and blue filters, as well as a strong dust cover to protect the microscope when not in use.
