Description
Digital camera
The MAGUS CBF30 digital camera is designed for the brightfield microscopy technique.
The camera is equipped with a 6.3MP sensor and produces realistic images at a resolution of 3072x2048pix. The camera is recommended for use with 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x objectives. When working with low magnification objectives, the camera will enable you to see more fine details.
Video is recorded at 59fps at maximum resolution. Videos are smooth, with soft and subtle transitions between frames. The movement of the sample is displayed in real time with no delays. The camera makes it easy to work with samples that are moving and is suitable for classroom demonstrations. The resolution can be reduced to 1536x1024pix, if required.
The camera is equipped with a USB 3.0 interface. The data transfer speed is 10 times faster than USB 2.0 cameras. The high-speed camera is recommended for professional laboratories, research, or university training.
Microscope head
Trinocular head with infinity plan achromatic objectives. The digital camera is mounted in the trinocular tube. The eyepiece/camera light path selection knob allows you to direct the light beam to either the digital camera or the eyepiece tube. The diopter adjustment is on the left tube.
Revolving nosepiece
5 objectives. A free slot is used for centering the reflected light source. An additional objective can also be installed in the free slot to achieve extra magnification. The revolving nosepiece with objectives is oriented toward the interior – the user can see the objective inserted into the optical path, and the space above the stage is free.
Objectives
Plan achromatic objectives with long working distance designed for the brightfield microscopy technique.
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 easy. On the right side, there is the coarse focusing lock knob and, on the left, there is a coarse focusing tension adjusting ring.
Stage
The object is moved by moving the stage along two axes. The maximum height of the observed sample must not exceed 20mm. The glass stage plate is used for observing translucent specimens.
Light source
30W halogen bulbs are used in both reflected and transmitted light illuminators. Halogen bulbs emit light with a color temperature that allows for comfortable work. The 30W bulb is bright enough to observe with 4x to 100x magnification objectives that are used for brightfield and polarized light microscopy.
Reflected light illumination
The microscope is equipped with a built-in analyzer and a removable polarizer. The polarizer rotates 0–360°, the analyzer does not rotate. The aperture and field diaphragms make it possible to set up the Köhler illumination. Both diaphragms and the light source can be centered. The microscope comes with a set of color filters.
Transmitted light illumination
An adjustable field diaphragm, a center-adjustable and height-adjustable Abbe condenser with NA 1.25 allow to set up the Köhler illumination. The condenser has a flip-down lens for low magnification objectives.
Accessories
There is a broad range of accessories to be used with the microscope: eyepieces, objectives, digital cameras, calibration slides, etc.
