Optical microscope MAGUS Bio 230TL
The MAGUS Bio 230TL microscope is an optical device for studying transparent and translucent biological samples. These can be thin sections or smears. The microscope is suitable for research observations, laboratory diagnostics, and university education. In the basic configuration, it is possible to carry out observations in a bright field in transmitted light; with additional accessories, other research methods are available: dark field, phase contrast, polarization. Optical design The trinocular attachment has a vertical imaging channel for installing a digital camera and displaying images on an external screen. The visual head tubes rotate 360° to adapt the height of the exit pupil to the height of the observer. There is a diopter adjustment ring on the left eyepiece tube. The revolving device, located in the “away from the observer” position, provides more convenient work with the microscope: the working lens is visible, and the space above the table is free. There are a total of 5 lens sockets in the revolver; 4 achromatic lenses are included in the kit, leaving one free space for installing an additional one. The optics are designed for infinity. Microscope magnification: from 40 to 1000 times. Additional eyepieces provide magnification up to 1500, 1600 and even 2000 times. Lighting system The 3-watt LED provides uniform, bright illumination of the sample without changing color temperature when adjusting the brightness. It is powered by AC power. The LED lifespan is 50,000 hours. The presence of a field diaphragm makes it possible to adjust lighting using the Köhler method. The condenser has a special slot for installing a phase contrast or dark field slider. Using the slider, you can quickly change the research method. Mechanics The absence of a retractable rail at the stage increases the ergonomics of working with the microscope. The drug guide moves the object smoothly and accurately, and can be removed during manual scanning. Focusing is carried out using coaxial handles located on both sides of the body. Coarse focusing has a lock and adjustable speed, and fine-tuning of sharpness is also available. The focusing mechanism is responsive and requires no effort when focusing. Accessories To expand the capabilities of the MAGUS Bio 230BL microscope, additional accessories are used: lenses, eyepieces, dark field and phase contrast condensers, digital cameras, calibration slides, polarization devices and others.
