Three-Dimensional Viewing for Accurate AnalysisExperience enhanced specimen detail with stereoscopic microscopy. Utilising two distinct optical paths, this microscope creates a true three-dimensional image, allowing you to better evaluate surface textures and structures. It offers precise and comfortable viewing, making it ideal for tasks in biology labs, quality control, or gemology.
Rugged Construction and Ergonomic DesignBuilt from sturdy metal with an anti-rust finish and heavy anti-skid base, the microscope ensures stability and durability during operation. The inclined eyepiece tube and adjustable interpupillary distance provide ergonomic comfort, even during prolonged observation, making it suitable for both students and professionals.
Flexible Illumination and Magnification OptionsDual illumination (incident and transmitted) guarantees clear visibility with adjustable lighting choices, either via mirror reflection or optional electric lamp (AC 220V/110V). Select between 20X and 40X magnification using turret-mounted achromatic objectives, with widefield eyepieces further optimising the observation experience.
FAQs of Stereoscopic Microscope:
Q: How does the stereoscopic microscope produce a three-dimensional image?
A: The microscope uses two separate optical paths through its binocular head. Each eye receives a slightly different angle of the specimen, creating a true three-dimensional view and allowing for precise inspection of surface contours.
Q: What is the maximum magnification offered and can it be increased?
A: The standard configuration provides 20X and 40X magnification using paired widefield 10X eyepieces and achromatic objectives. Magnification can be increased to 60X or 80X by fitting 15X or 20X eyepieces, respectively.
Q: When should I use incident or transmitted illumination?
A: Incident (top) illumination is best for opaque specimens where surface detail is critical, while transmitted (bottom) illumination suits transparent or translucent samples. You can use both simultaneously for challenging specimens that require enhanced visibility.
Q: Where can this stereoscopic microscope be effectively used?
A: It is suitable for education, biology labs, electronics inspection, gemology, entomology, and quality control environments, providing versatile performance in both academic and industrial settings.
Q: What benefits does the heavy, anti-skid base provide during use?
A: The heavy base with anti-skid features ensures the microscope remains stable during adjustments and observation, preventing accidental movement and enhancing safety and accuracy.
Q: How should I maintain the microscope for optimal performance?
A: Regular cleaning with the supplied cloth, proper dust cover use, and correct storage of interchangeable stage plates and eyepieces are recommended. Refer to the user manual for specific maintenance procedures and keep accessories readily accessible.
Q: What accessories come packaged with the microscope?
A: Included are spare eyepieces, interchangeable black & white and frosted glass stage plates, a dust cover, user manual, cleaning cloth, and a warranty card, providing all essentials for immediate and long-term use.
