Description
Digital camera
The MAGUS CDF30 digital camera is designed for the brightfield and darkfield microscopy technique. It offers a low noise level and high light sensitivity.
The camera is equipped with an 8.3MP sensor and delivers realistic images in 4K resolution (3840x2160pix) with the clearly visible fine details of samples and their structures. It is recommended to use the camera with 4x, 10x, and 20x objectives as well as with a stereomicroscope.
At maximum resolution, video is captured at 45fps. This is enough for classroom demonstrations, focus adjustment, recording fast-moving processes, and observing moving samples. At Full HD resolution (1920x1080pix), the rate increases to 70fps, and so the transitions between frames become softer and the camera can catch the slightest movement of the sample.
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
A trinocular head with infinity plan achromatic objectives. The digital camera is mounted in the trinocular tube. 50:50 beam splitting.
Revolving nosepiece
A 4-objective revolving nosepiece that is mounted on a stand under the stage.
Objectives
Infinity plan achromatic objectives with a long working distance for dishes with a bottom thickness of 1.2mm. The four objectives are for the brightfield microscopy technique and one objective – for the phase contrast technique.
Focusing mechanism
The 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 side, there is a coarse focusing lock knob for quick setting adjustments after changing the sample. On the left side, there is a coarse tension adjustment ring for further adjustment.
Stage
There is a fixed stage with a mechanical attachment for moving the laboratory glassware in two mutually perpendicular directions. The smooth and subtle movement of the object augments the accuracy of the study: No part of the specimen will be overlooked. The travel knob is located at the bottom, and so the user will not strain their right wrist. The microscope set includes three dish holders for glassware of different sizes.
Condenser
A phase contrast slider is installed in the condenser. The phase contrast rings can be centered. The installation of such a slider saves time when switching between microscopy techniques.
Light source
The 9W LED provides bright illumination, which is sufficient for observations in brightfield and phase contrast with all kinds of objectives. The color temperature does not change when you adjust the brightness. The LED has a lifespan of 50,000 hours.
Accessories
There is a line of accessories designed specifically for this microscope. There are additional 20x and 40x phase objectives for studying 0.7µm and 0.4µm non-contrast objects. Eyepieces extend the magnification range of the microscope. Additional eyepieces will help you use the full potential of an objective that is used more often. A digital camera that outputs the microscope image to a monitor and stores files, and the software that takes real-time measurements of specimens. A calibration slide for measuring objects that can be combined with an eyepiece with a scale or the camera software.
