Overview
Key Features:
- 50X to 500X magnification using 10X eyepieces for three distinct settings.
- A compact multi-purpose microscope with reflected illumination and simple polarization for observation of metals, plastics, and other materials.
- Use a combination of reflected lighting and simple polarization to bring out complex details such as stress in metal and other materials.
- The trinocular head provides a dedicated photo port for adding a camera for recording photos and videos.
- Monitor and capture photos and videos with the included 3MP USB 2.0 camera. Professional microscopy software for Windows, Mac, and Linux provide tools for image processing, measuring, and more.
This is a feature-packed, economical metallurgical microscope with an upright design, and 30W polarized-light episcopic illumination. The plan-achromatic optical system offers sharp, flat-field images with excellent color-correction across three magnification levels: 50X, 100X, 500X. The Siedentopf head with dual diopters and high-eyepoint eyepieces provide a comfortable and adjustable viewing platform. The dedicated photo port allows for simultaneous viewing and imaging.
Change magnifications quickly using the objective turret without significant refocusing thanks to the parfocal design. Using the included 10X eyepieces, the magnification range spans from 50X to 500X with three unique settings. The lenses are achromatically corrected for improved resolution, and flat-field corrected to ensure edge-to-edge sharpness.Features:
Digital Imaging
Monitor and capture photos and videos with the included 3.0MP USB2.0 camera. The C-mount camera is specially designed for use with microscopes, allowing you to watch live images, and to record photos or videos on your computer. This ability to view microscopic images on your computer reduces eye-strain, and allows groups of people to view images at the same time. A 0.5X reduction lens is included for use with 23mm-30.5mm ports to capture more of the microscope's field-of-view. Our professional software for Windows provides a wide assortment of capture and photo-editing functions including color correction, time-lapse capture, image stitching, and a full complement of measuring tools. A lite version of our software is available for Mac and Linux with essential functionality for capturing photos and videos.
