Description
Digital camera
The MAGUS CHD20 Digital Camera is equipped with a 2MP sensor and produces realistic Full HD images at a resolution of 1920x1080px. The camera features high light sensitivity that is suitable for working in fluorescent light. Through the use of R, G, B primary color mosaic filters, low dark current and clear image are achieved.
The camera uses an HDMI interface to connect directly to a TV, monitor, or projector. In this mode, the camera operates autonomously without a PC. The HDMI interface provides a high and stable transfer rate from the camera to the external screen. An additional USB2.0 interface is provided for connecting the camera to a PC.
Video is recorded at 60fps or 50fps depending on the video output interface.
The camera combines high FPS and high bandwidth HDMI and, therefore, videos are vivid with no freezes or gaps between frames. At maximum resolution, the image is well-detailed, moving objects are visible without bugs, and object movement is displayed without delays.
Monitor
The MAGUS MCD20 Monitor is designed to use a visualization system of the MAGUS microscope.
It is connected to a camera mounted on the microscope to display real-time images. It supports MAGUS full HD resolution HDMI cameras.
The screen diagonal is 13.3 inches. The IPS matrix provides bright images with large viewing angles. If you look at the display at an angle, the color reproduction is not distorted.
The display can be placed on a folding stand on a table or shelf or mounted directly to the camera or microscope stand.
Microscope head
Tube length – infinity (∞). When assembling the microscope, the user can rotate the eyepiece tubes 180° and adjust the eye relief to fit their height. There is a trinocular head.
The monitor is mounted in the trinocular tube of the trinocular head and the digital camera – in the camera side port on the microscope body. The trinocular head is equipped with an 50:50 and 100:0 beam splitter, and there is a 2-position beam splitter (100:0/ 0:100) on the body.
Revolving nosepiece
The 5-objectives revolving nosepiece is mounted on the stand under the stage.
Objectives
Plan achromatic objectives with a long working distance that is designed for the brightfield microscopy technique. For the darkfield microscopy technique, choose the MAGUS Metal V700 BD.
Focusing mechanism
Coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs are located at the base of the microscope on both sides. The user can place their hands on the table and take a relaxed pose while observing. The focus adjustment is smooth and effortless. On the right, there is the coarse focusing lock knob for quick adjustments after changing the sample. On the left side, there is the coarse focusing tension adjusting ring.
Mechanical stage
The object is moved by moving the stage along two axes. A round rotating stage plate with a hole of suitable diameter (10mm, 20mm, or 30mm) is installed in the center of the table. A specimen holder is used for holding the object in place.
Light source
The lamphouse has a 30W halogen bulb. It is bright enough to observe with 4x to 100x magnification objectives that are used for the brightfield and polarized light microscopy techniques. The halogen bulb emits light with a color temperature that allows for comfortable work.
Reflected light illumination
The illumination system makes it possible to set up the Köhler illumination. The field and aperture diaphragm are pre-centered at the factory and require no additional centering. If necessary, the diaphragms can be adjusted with centering screws. The light source is centered along three axes. The removable analyzer and polarizer are for the polarization microscopy technique. The polarizer rotates 0–360°, the analyzer does not rotate. A set of filters can help you adjust the color reproduction.
Accessories
Additional accessories will increase the technical performance of the microscope. Eyepieces and objectives extend the magnification range. Digital cameras output the image to a computer screen or monitor. Calibration slides help you take measurements of objects.
