The Scopium XSP-191M-LED-Plan biological microscope is a sophisticated instrument that offers above-average quality at an affordable price, and it can be extensively upgraded with accessories. Its optical elements are naturally made of glass, and virtually no plastic is found on the device. A unique feature is its enlarged frame size, along with full-Koehler illumination, a more precise focusing mechanism, and plan objectives.
Quality Begins with the Objectives
The microscope is equipped with five plan achromatic objectives, which offer better edge correction than semiplan objectives and produce sharp, high-contrast images all the way to the edge of the field of view. The standard equipment includes objectives with magnifications of 4x, 10x, 20x, 40x, and 100x, which can be easily replaced thanks to their DIN standard connections. The spring-loaded design of the 40x and 100x objectives protects the slides from accidental breakage. You can choose from three types of wide-field plan eyepieces (WF10x, WF12.5x, WF16x), allowing you to customize the magnifications to your needs.
LED Lighting for Outstanding Colors
The slide is illuminated by a built-in 3 W LED light, which surpasses older halogen bulbs in many ways: its color temperature allows for a more contrast-rich image, and its light is more even. Additionally, it does not heat up and consumes less energy. The quality of the illumination can be finely tuned with various solutions: the intensity can be adjusted with a dial and an iris diaphragm ranging from 2 mm to 30 mm in diameter, and the focus can also be changed with an Abbe condenser marked N.A. 1.25. All these features enable the application of the Koehler illumination method.
Precision Above All
Alongside the "normal" focusing mechanism, there is a scaled fine focus with a 0.002 mm step size on the same axis, ensuring the image is always razor-sharp. The enlarged mechanical stage is equipped with bidirectional fine movement and can be adjusted with 0.01 mm precision, eliminating the need to manually touch the specimen, which could shake the microscope. The moving parts are free from any play, making work comfortable. The viewing head is tilted at 45° and can be rotated 360°, making it convenient to use from any direction. A camera can be attached after removing the eyepiece.
The basic package also includes yellow, green, and blue filters, as well as a strong protective cover to shield the microscope from dust when not in use.
