Description
Digital camera
MAGUS CBF70 scientific digital camera with 21MP resolution and a 4/3" sensor combines ultra-low noise and ultra-high sensitivity to provide images and videos with sharp detail.
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 4/3". Therefore, a 1x C-mount adapter is used for mounting a camera on the microscope. The field of view on the screen is as close as possible to the field of view in the eyepiece, but the circular field is cropped on four sides.
The 21MP sensor produces a realistic image in 5280x3954px. At this resolution, the frame rate is 17fps, which is enough to fine-tune the focus of the microscope.
At resolutions of 2640x1976px, 1760x1316px, and 584x438px, the rate increases to 56fps, 67fps, and 192fps, respectively. The transitions between frames become smoother and the camera captures the small movements of the object. These modes are suitable for classroom demonstrations, video recording, and observing moving objects.
The USB 3.0 provides 10 times faster data transfer rates than USB 2.0, thereby ensuring comfort when working with a video stream that is free of lags and jerks even when moving the specimen at 21MP resolution.
Microscope head
Trinocular head is 360° rotatable and can be locked in any desired position. The digital camera is mounted in the trinocular tube using a C-mount adapter.
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 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 makes 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 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 allows 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 when magnifications above 20x are used.
A ring light with sector control and a gooseneck light are used to fine-tune the illumination in the working area. 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 allow you to enlarge the working area, thereby giving you more freedom in choosing the position of the microscope head above the workstation.
