Why is the Scopium XSP-151M-LED biological microscope so popular among our customers? It offers reliable optical and mechanical quality at an attractive price and can be expanded with a wide range of accessories. The instrument is constructed almost entirely from metal and glass components.
Excellent optics
The microscope features 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x achromatic, semi-plan objectives that deliver sharp, detailed images across almost the entire field of view. Their DIN-standard mounting allows them to be easily replaced with versions offering different magnifications. The spring-loaded design of the 40x and 100x objectives helps protect both the slide and the objective from accidental impacts and breakage. The 100x objective is oil immersion, so immersion oil is required for use.
The Scopium XSP-151M-LED microscope comes with a WF12.5x wide-field eyepiece, providing 50x, 125x, 500x and 1250x magnification. Additional magnification ranges can be achieved using other eyepieces. The 45° inclined, 360° rotatable monocular viewing head ensures comfortable observation from any direction. After removing the 23.2 mm diameter eyepiece, a compatible camera can be fitted in its place.
Modern LED illumination
Transmitted-light illumination is provided by a 1 W variable-brightness LED light, which is superior to conventional halogen lighting in every respect. It produces a slightly bluish, more even light. It generates less heat and consumes less energy. The N.A.=1.25 Abbe condenser helps achieve optimal illumination, while its iris diaphragm enables even more precise adjustment (see Köhler illumination).
Precise mechanics
The Scopium XSP-151M-LED biological microscope features coaxial coarse and fine focusing. Its graduated fine-focus control, with 0.01 mm increments, allows focus to be adjusted quickly and precisely. The mechanical stage enables bidirectional fine movement with 0.1 mm accuracy. This allows the specimen to be positioned precisely without manually moving the slide, preventing accidental movement of the microscope.
The basic package also includes yellow, green and blue filters, as well as a durable dust cover to protect the instrument when not in use.
