with 10x, 15x or 5x huygenian eyepieces (2 nos. ) and 10x,
45x objectives.
Reliable Construction for Educational UseConstructed from sturdy metal, this student microscope features an anti-rust powder-coated finish, making it exceptionally durable for frequent use in classrooms and labs. The heavy base provides stability, and the robust build protects against everyday wear, making it a long-lasting choice for students and educators.
Versatile Magnification and Precision FocusEquipped with interchangeable objectives (10x, 45x, 100x oil) and eyepieces (10x wide field, 5x Huygens), users gain flexibility to observe details at 100x, 400x, and 1000x total magnifications. The microscopes fine and coarse focus knobs offer smooth, precise adjustments, allowing users to achieve clear visuals for various types of educational samples.
Simple Manual Operation and MaintenanceDesigned for manual operation, this microscope features easy-to-use stage clips, X-Y movement, and a user-friendly monocular drawtube. With a sub-stage plano-concave mirror for natural light illumination and supplied dust cover, the device is simple to maintain, making it perfect for regular classroom or laboratory use.
FAQs of Student Microscope:
Q: How is the microscope illuminated in the absence of built-in electric lighting?
A: The microscope uses a plano-concave mirror located beneath the stage to direct natural or available external light onto the specimen. An included daylight filter assists in producing optimal lighting conditions without the need for electrical power.
Q: What objectives and eyepieces are included with the microscope, and what magnification levels can be achieved?
A: The microscope comes with three achromatic objectives (10x, 45x, 100x oil) and two interchangeable eyepieces (wide field 10x, Huygens 5x), enabling magnification levels of 100x, 400x, and up to 1000x, depending on the combination used.
Q: When should the oil immersion (100x) objective be used, and what is its benefit?
A: The oil immersion (100x) objective is used when observing specimens that require very high magnification, such as bacteria. Placing a drop of immersion oil between the slide and objective increases resolution and image clarity at high magnifications.
Q: Where is the microscope best suited for use?
A: This microscope is ideal for schools, colleges, and laboratory environments where hands-on learning and routine observation are required. Its durable build and manual controls make it suitable for educational purposes.
Q: What is the process for focusing specimens on this microscope?
A: Users start by placing the slide on the stage and securing it with stage clips. First, coarse adjustment knobs should bring the object into closer focus, followed by fine adjustments for sharpness. The monocular drawtube provides a single optical viewing path.
Q: How does the sturdy base contribute to the microscopes performance?
A: The heavy, stable base ensures the microscope remains stationary during use, which minimizes vibrations and allows for more precise focusing and observation, especially at high magnifications.
