About Dissecting Microscope
Dissecting Microscope ETMS-130Dissecting Microscope has a heavy round base with precisely designed body. Sensitive focusing is done by rack and pinion arrangement. Revolving arm provided for moving magnifying lens over full stage area.
Size available 85 x 75 mm with glass plate.
Illumination: A Plano-concave mirror fitted in fork for light reflection
Optics 10X & 20X eyepieces
Ergonomic and Stable DesignCrafted with a heavy, U-shaped base and die-cast metal body, this microscope offers unmatched stability, minimizing vibrations for precise observations. The inclined monocular drawtube aids comfortable viewing, making extended study sessions less straining. The resistant white/off-white finish prevents staining and withstands laboratory chemicals, ensuring both durability and longevity.
Versatile Viewing CapabilitiesEquipped with interchangeable stage plates, the microscope permits both reflected and transmitted light observation, accommodating a diverse array of specimens. Users can easily switch between 20x and 40x magnification using standard and optional eyepieces or objectives. The stage features clips and a reversible black & white plate for optimal contrast and secure specimen placement.
FAQs of Dissecting Microscope:
Q: How does the interchangeable stage plate enhance the functionality of the dissecting microscope?
A: The microscopes interchangeable frosted glass and opaque plates allow users to observe specimens using transmitted or incident light, broadening its application for various types of biological samples.
Q: What process is involved in focusing on a specimen with this microscope?
A: Specimens are focused using a coarse rack-and-pinion mechanism, providing smooth movement within a 30 mm adjustment range. Fine adjustment is not available, making it suitable for larger or robust specimens.
Q: Where is this dissecting microscope typically used?
A: It is ideal for use in schools, colleges, laboratory settings, and field studies, owing to its robust construction, ergonomic features, and portable design.
Q: When should you opt for this microscope over a compound microscope?
A: This dissecting microscope is best chosen for low-magnification tasks, such as examining larger biological specimens, performing dissections, or engaging in educational studies, whereas compound microscopes are preferred for high-magnification cellular analysis.
Q: What benefits does the heavy U-shaped base provide during specimen observation?
A: The heavy and stable U-shaped base ensures vibration-free operation, allowing users to observe delicate details without disturbance, which is especially important for precise manipulations during dissection or study.
Q: How is light sourced and adjusted in this microscope?
A: Illumination is provided by a plano-concave mirror using natural light, and users can attach an artificial lamp if needed. The mirrors position is adjustable to direct the incident light onto specimens for optimal viewing.
