Our Scopium XSP-191T-LED-Plan biological microscope is a sophisticated instrument offering above-average quality at an attractive price, with extensive upgrade options available through accessories. 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, 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 mounting. The 40x and 100x objectives feature a spring-loaded design to protect 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 magnification to your needs.
LED illumination for outstanding colour rendering
The slide is illuminated by an integrated 3 W LED light, which outperforms older halogen bulbs in many respects: its colour temperature provides a more contrast-rich image, while its illumination is more even. Another important 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 with a control knob and an iris diaphragm adjustable between 2 mm and 30 mm in diameter; in addition, the focus can be adjusted using the N.A. 1.25 Abbe condenser. These features enable the use of Köhler illumination.
Precision above all
In addition to the standard focusing mechanism, the microscope features a graduated fine-focus control on the same axis, with 0.002 mm increments, ensuring that the image can always be set to razor-sharp focus. The enlarged mechanical stage is equipped with two-axis fine movement and can be adjusted with 0.01 mm precision, eliminating the need to touch the specimen by hand and thereby shake the microscope. All moving parts are free of backlash, making operation comfortable.
Trinocular head for microscopy enthusiasts
For those 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 through 360°, making it comfortable to use from any direction. The tube on top of the viewing head accepts 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 dust cover to protect the microscope when not in use.
