The Scopium XSP-191T-LED-Plan biological microscope is a sophisticated instrument offering above-average quality at an affordable price, and it can be extensively upgraded with additional accessories. Its optical elements are naturally made of glass, with virtually no plastic found on the device. A unique feature is its enlarged frame, along with full-Koehler illumination and more precise focusing, as well as 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 are easily interchangeable thanks to their DIN standard connections. The 40x and 100x objectives feature a spring mechanism to protect the slides from accidental breakage. You can choose from three types of wide-field plan eyepieces (WF10x, WF12.5x, WF16x), allowing you to customize magnifications to your needs.
LED Lighting for Outstanding Colors
The slide illumination is provided 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 uniform. Additionally, it has the advantage of not heating up and consuming less power. The quality of illumination can be fine-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 even be changed with the N.A. 1.25 Abbe condenser. 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 step size of 0.002 mm on a single 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 of any play, making work comfortable.
Trinocular Head for Microphotography Enthusiasts
For those serious about capturing the images seen through the microscope, the trinocular head is a great asset. The viewing head is tilted at 30° and can rotate 360°, making it comfortable to use from any direction. It also features an independent camera connector, which, due to its vertical design, evenly distributes the camera's weight and does not interfere with visual observation. When using a camera, only one of the binocular views is usable, as the other light path is directed to the camera using the light path switch on the microscope head.
The basic package also includes yellow, green, and blue filters, as well as a strong dust cover to protect the microscope when not in use.
