Key Features & Benefits

Optical Excellence

• Achromatic Objectives: Color-corrected optics minimize chromatic aberration for sharp, clear images
• Wide-Field Eyepieces: Larger field of view makes specimen location and observation easier
• High Numerical Aperture: Abbe condenser with N.A. 1.25 provides superior resolution and light gathering
• Multiple Magnification Options: From 100x to 675x total magnification across the series

Mechanical Precision

• Dual Focusing System: Separate coarse and fine adjustment controls for precise focus control
• Rack & Pinion Mechanism: Smooth, backlash-free vertical movement of observation tube
• Triple Revolving Nosepiece: Click-stop positions ensure proper objective alignment
• 90° Inclinable Body: Adjustable viewing angle reduces neck and eye strain during extended use

Illumination & Light Control

• Abbe Condenser System: Professional-grade light concentration for optimal specimen illumination
• Iris Diaphragm: Continuously variable aperture control for contrast adjustment
• Swing-Out Filter Holder: Easy insertion of color filters for enhanced contrast techniques
