AmScope T660A-DKO Darkfield Trinocular Compound Microscope 40X-1500X Magnification w/ 20W Halogen and Oil Condenser

AmScope T660 Series Darkfield Trinocular Compound Microscope 40X-1500X Magnification with 20W Halogen and Oil Condenser

• 40X to 1500X magnification range for studying a range of specimens including hair follicles, cells, and bacteria. 10X and 15X eyepieces provide 8 unique magnification settings.
• An upgraded model with a darkfield condenser for advanced lighting applications including live cell analysis
• The adjustable trinocular photo port allows you to easily mount a camera for real-time monitoring or capturing photos and videos.
• The larger format body with its precision mechanics provides a stable platform designed for years of hard use.
• Achromatic color-corrected lenses produce high-resolution, high-contrast images.
• The Koehler illumination system provides centered, evenly-distributed lighting with a field aperture for maximum contrast and definition.

This an upgraded version of the T660, adding a darkfield light-condenser for professional biological applications including darkfield observation. It uses an ergonomic design for comfort and a fluid workflow, and its achromatic optics provide sharp, color-correct images. The halogen illumination system provides low-fatigue, evenly-distributed light for maximum contrast and definition. This model is a popular choice for veterinarians and university laboratories. Specialized darkfield optics allow you to observe live cells including blood and other fluids, making it a great choice for clinics and medical labs.

The trinocular head accommodates viewing through eyepieces and through the top-mounted photo port. The binocular viewing tubes use Siedentopf adjustment to easily fit any user. The head has a top-mounted, height-adjustable 23mm photo port for mounting optional cameras. C-mount cameras can be paired with various reduction lenses for mounting to the port and optimizing field-of-view.

The objective turret provides instant access to 4 magnification levels to easily focus in on minute details from 40X to 1000X. Additional 15X eyepieces expand the maximum magnification to 1600X with 8 unique levels. This covers magnifications needed for studying hair follicles, cells, and bacteria. The turret's reversed orientation provides more working room above the stage. These high-quality lenses are achromatically corrected to improve resolution and color accuracy.

The large 2-layer mechanical stage provides smooth and precise movement for examination of specimen slides. The stage's low-position controls are conveniently placed near the coaxial focus knobs for a streamlined workflow. Examining specimen slides is intuitive and precise for users at any skill level.

Built on Koehler illumination principals, the sub-stage lighting provides evenly-distributed light for optimal contrast. The halogen light-source provides bright illumination with a lower color-temperature for decreased fatigue when used for long periods. The Abbe light condenser has a high 1.25 numerical aperture for oil-immersion, and an iris diaphragm to optimize contrast and depth-of-field. The condenser holder uses rack-and-pinion height adjustment for precision control, and is centerable for proper alignment. The illuminator's field lens provides an iris diaphragm to control light-spread, optimizing contrast and definition in specimen features.

An oil darkfield condenser is included for darkfield observation using high-power objective lenses. The condenser is designed for use with immersion oil, and can accommodate higher numerical-aperture lenses. Darkfield observation will provide contrast in otherwise indistinguishable objects by highlighting changes in refractive index. This is particularly useful for observing live cells including blood analysis.
