Our Scopium XSP-191T-LED-Plan biological microscope is a sophisticated instrument that offers 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 all the way 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 spring-loaded design of the 40x and 100x objectives protects the slide from accidental breakage. Three types of wide-angle plan eyepieces (WF10x, WF12.5x, WF16x) are available for the microscope, allowing you to tailor the magnification to your needs.
LED illumination for outstanding colour reproduction
The slide is illuminated by an integrated 3 W LED light source, which surpasses older halogen bulbs in many respects: its colour temperature enables a more contrast-rich image, while providing more even illumination. 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 using a control knob and an iris diaphragm with an aperture range of 2 mm to 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, a graduated fine-focus control with 0.002 mm increments is mounted on the same axis, ensuring that the image can always be adjusted to razor-sharp focus. The enlarged mechanical stage features two-axis fine movement and can be adjusted with 0.01 mm precision, eliminating the need to touch the specimen by hand and thereby avoiding microscope vibration. All moving parts are free from backlash, ensuring comfortable operation.
Trinocular head for microscopy photography enthusiasts
For those serious about capturing what they see through the microscope, the trinocular head is a great advantage. 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 is designed 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 dust-free when not in use.
