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
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.
Key features
Key features of the microscope:- For studying opaque and translucent objects with a maximum height of 20mm
- The top and bottom surfaces of the sample must be parallel
- Trinocular head with a trinocular tube for mounting a digital camera (100:0 and 0:100 beamsplitter)
- Powerful 30W halogen transmitted and reflected light illuminators that provide bright natural light
- Köhler illumination, elements of the reflected light illumination system that can be centered (aperture and field diaphragm, light source)
- Abbe condenser with a flip-down lens
- Polarization device for reflected light observation
- Filters reduce the intensity of certain wavelengths and adjust the color reproduction in microscope photography
- A large selection of additional eyepieces and objectives
Key features of the camera:- The camera operates autonomously without a connection to a PC via HDMI interface. Can be connected to a PC via USB2.0 interface
- The camera resolution is 1920x1080px – an ideal choice for displaying images on a Full HD monitor
- 60fps or 50fps depending on the video output interface for observing moving objects, recording video, and moving the preparation without jerkiness or lags
- SONY Starvis color CMOS backlit sensor provides low noise level and high light sensitivity even in low-light conditions. You will get clearer, brighter, and more color-saturated images.
- Software with photo, video recording, editing, external display functions, linear and angular measurements
