Stereo-microscopes owe their popularity to their wide range and ease of use. They are recommended for technicians, (coin) restorers and biologists. Since you don't need to make preparations, you can even examine a whole beetle under them. The view is always almost breathtakingly three-dimensional.
Somewhat uniquely, the microscope houses three pairs of acromatic objectives, with magnifications ranging from 1x-2x-4x. Thanks to effective anti-reflection coatings, they draw a contrasty, sharp image almost to the very edge of the field of view. With a choice of 10x-15x-20x magnification eyepieces, multiple magnification combinations are available. By attaching the rubber eye cap included in the package to the top of the eyepieces, you can exclude side scattered light, making your observations more comfortable. The size of the field of view varies from about 20 mm (10x) to 2.5 mm (80x). The head of the microscope can be slid up and down on a rod, or even turned sideways if required, allowing objects of virtually any size to be placed underneath (the stage provides a sharp image of objects up to 90 mm in size).
The binocular head is tilted at 45°, and its eye relief is freely adjustable between 55-75 mm. Diopter correction is on the left. Illumination is provided by a built-in LED light. The objective is 95 mm frosted glass, the box also contains a replacement plastic disc with black or white surface, which can be used on either side depending on the object.
To digitally record what you see in the microscope, we offer members of our ToupCam camera series - to insert these into the microscope, you will need a 30.5mm adapter, which is also available in our shop for an extra charge.
The basic package also includes a sturdy cover sheet to protect the microscope from dust when not in use.
