AmScope 40x-2000x Lab Trinocular Biological Compound Microscope

AmScope 40x-2000x Lab Trinocular Biological Compound Microscope Review



AmScope 40x-2000x Lab Trinocular Biological Compound Microscope Feature

  • Eight Magnification Settings 40X-80X-100X-200X-400X-800X-1000X-2000X
  • Three Unique Features: 1) Simultaneously Viewing Clear Images Through Trinocular Port and Eyepieces; 2) 23mm Photo Port and C-mount Port; 3) Adjustable Simul-Focal Trinocular Port
  • Professional Graduated X-Y Mechanical Stage with Coaxial Coarse & Fine Focus
  • Variable Intensity Halogen Lighting, Rack and Pinion Adjustment Abbe Condenser with Iris Diaphragm
  • 5-Year Warranty against Manuafcturing Defects
The T490B features a unique "simul-focal" optical system with an adjustable trinocular port to enable well-focused clear images on your PC or video screen while simultaneously obtaining sharp, focused images through the eyepieces. Most trinocular microscopes allow you to view either through the trinocular port or the eyepieces only, forcing you to switch between the two. Since these trinocular ports are not "simul-focal" with the rest of the microscope optical system, you have to re-focus the microscope after each switch. The T490B, however, erases this step by providing "simul-focal" viewing. Especially handy for teaching demonstrations, clinical examinations and laboratory applications, the "simul-focal" feature allows your students or colleagues to view clear images simultaneously while you work through the eyepieces. In addition, the T490B's industry standard 23mm photo port can be converted into a C-Mount port by attaching the included C-mount adapter, allowing you to attach most microscope digital cameras and video systems on the market. The T490B includes a 30-degree inclined 360-degree swiveling, compensation-free trinocular head, a 3-D mechanical stage, and an intensity-variable halogen illumination system. This versatile microscope is also capable of being upgraded with various accessories and attachments listed in the optional section for additional functions. It is a perfect laboratory instrument for clinics, Vets, Doctors, and professional students. Made by the same OEM supplier that provides optical instruments for Leica, Zeiss, Nikon and Olympus, it arrives brand new in a factory sealed box and retails for more than ,700.

Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound microscopes use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo microscopes show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital microscopes are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries.

Aven manufactures optical inspection tools, precision tools, and bench accessories for industrial, scientific, and research applications. The company was founded in 1983 and is headquartered in Ann Arbor, MI.
