Description
Digital camera
The camera with an 8MP sensor produces a realistic image in 4K resolution (3840x2160px) when connected via HDMI or USB 3.0. When connected via Wi-Fi, the image resolution is Full HD (1920x1080px). All modes support a frame rate of 30fps, which is suitable for microscope manipulations, recording fast-moving processes, and moving objects.
The camera is mounted in the trinocular tube using a C-mount adapter and the HDMI interface is used to connect it directly to a TV, monitor, or projector. No computer connection or additional software is required in this mode. The connection to a computer is made via Wi-Fi or USB 3.0. The kit includes a storage device with software.
The camera can be simultaneously connected to a monitor and a computer as well as display the image on all connected devices.
The camera is suitable for operation over the full magnification range of the microscope objective, from 0.65x to 5.5x.
The sensor size is 1/1.2" and, therefore, a 1x C-mount adapter is used for mounting a camera on the microscope. On such a sensor, the 1x adapter is intended to “show as large a field of view as possible with no distortion”.
Monitor
The monitor connects to a microscope-mounted camera to display a real-time image. It is compatible with MAGUS HDMI cameras operating in 4K resolution.
The screen diagonal is 13.3 inches. The IPS sensor delivers a bright image with large viewing angles: If you look at the monitor at an angle, there is no color distortion.
The monitor is placed on the table or attached to the camera.
The trinocular microscope with a monitor is suitable for those who prefer to look forward rather than down at the specimen. This observation method is the most ergonomic as it reduces the strain put on the back and neck. This microscope with a monitor will also suit educators who teach students.
Microscope head
This trinocular head is 360° rotatable and can be locked in any desired position.
The light path does not change. The splitting ratio is fixed: 80% to an eyepiece and 20% to the trinocular tube. The user observes the image in the eyepieces and on the screen at the same time.
The basic configuration includes 10x/22mm eyepieces with diopter adjustment and eye relief to work with glasses.
Zoom objective
The objective allows for the smooth change of magnification up to 8.4 times with no loss of focus while maintaining a large working distance of 105mm. The microscope generates an upright (not inverted) three-dimensional image. Auxiliary objective lenses change the magnification range, field of view, and working distance of the microscope.
Focusing mechanism
Coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs are located on both sides of the stand. The fine focusing will make it easy to adjust the microscope when using magnifications above 40x. The coarse focusing tension is adjustable.
Stage plate
A frosted glass or black-and-white plate is selected depending on the specimen. The frosted glass plate ensures that there will be even illumination and optimal light scattering when transparent and translucent objects are observed. The black-and-white plate is selected for observing opaque objects against a contrasting background: the black side for light objects and the white side for dark objects.
Light sources
The microscope has a 3W LED transmitted light illuminator and a 3W LED reflected light oblique illuminator. The LED lifetime: 50,000 hours.
Accessories
There is a wide range of accessories for the microscope.
Eyepieces and auxiliary objective lenses extend the magnification range of the microscope.
Digital cameras output images from the microscope to a monitor.
C-mount adapters connect a camera to a microscope. The adapter magnification is selected to match the camera sensor size.
Calibration slides are used for measuring specimens. The scale value on the calibration slide of stereomicroscopes is 0.1mm.
A polarizer/analyzer set is used to study anisotropic samples.
A darkfield condenser with a gem clip will allow for studying precious and semi-precious stones.
A ring light is used to provide shadow-free lighting in the working area in reflected light.
A ring light with a polarizer removes glare from the image of polished metal surfaces.
A mechanical stage enables the smooth movement of specimens with no jerks along two axes and offers additional convenience to the user when magnifications above 20x are used.
A ring light with sector control and a gooseneck light is used to fine-tune the illumination in the working area. The light is exposed at a selected angle, creating the light shadows required for the observations, while a certain part of the specimen remains illuminated.
Universal stands will allow you to enlarge the working area, thereby giving you more freedom in choosing the position of the microscope head above the workstation.
