40x-2000x Trinocular Biological Compound Microscope

40x-2000x Trinocular Biological Compound Microscope Review



40x-2000x Trinocular Biological Compound Microscope Feature

  • Four Fully-Coated Achromatic DIN Objectives -- 4x/10x/40x/100x (oil). 10x and 20x Stereo Eyepieces Included.
  • Trinocular Imaging Port. 23.2mm ocular adapter included.
  • Advanced Seidentopf 2D Adjustible Stereoscopic Microscope Head. 30 degree Inclined Head Rotates 360 Degrees.
  • Variable Intensity Halogen Lighting. Abbe Condenser and Iris Diaphragm. Filter Holder with Blue & Green Filters.
  • Premium Graduated X-Y Mechanical Slide Holder (not clips!)
This is a brand new, factory sealed, Variscope Series 8621 microscope. The Variscope microscope family of optical instruments is made by one of the largest "private label" optical component fabricators in the world. Included with the quadruple nosepiece are four achromatic multi-coated objective lenses that display a true-color image. You get 4x, 10x, spring loaded 40x, and spring loaded oil immersion 100x objectives included with this microscope. For viewing, we provide two sets of eyepieces: a pair of premium grade wide-field 10x (18mm) eyepieces and a second set of 20x eyepieces. This allows for magnification ranges of 40x, 80x, 100x, 200x, 400x, 800x, 1000x, and 2000x. Ergonomic features include an advanced Seidentopf-type microscope head to provide maximum comfort in adjusting interpuplillary distance. The microscope head swivels 360 degrees and sits at a 30 degree incline. The eyepieces have diopter focusing adjustments. Unlike most cheaper models on the market that have simple slide clips, this microscope has a 115mm x 125mm stage with a fully mechanical X-Y axis slide holder. With this functionality, you can easily move the slide around on the stage with fine precision, no fumbling the slide under the clips. This model includes a trinocular imaging port to allow for the attachment of a film camera, digital camera, or CCD camera. A 23.2mm ocular adapter and a C-mount (CCD) adapter are included with the microscope. T-mount (T-ring) photo adapters are available. This microscope has a built-in 20 watt halogen bulb, with adjustable intensity light controls. Cheaper models use a tungsten bulb or have a simple on/off switch with no brightness controls. The microscope has a built-in spiral-type N.A. 1.25 Abbe condenser under the stage with an iris diaphragm for precise control over the amount and focal length of light aimed at your specimen. A swing-out filter holder with blue and green filters is included.

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.

Dino-Lite AM2011 10x~50x, 230x 0.3MP Digital Microscope

Dino-Lite AM2011 10x~50x, 230x 0.3MP Digital Microscope Review



Dino-Lite AM2011 10x~50x, 230x 0.3MP Digital Microscope Feature

  • 0.3 mp with Great Color Resolution
  • 10X - 220X range (dependent on WD)
  • USB 2.0 Output
  • Live imaging - Stills, Video, Time-lapse

The AM2011 houses a 0.3 megapixel digital camera and offers 10x-200x magnification at 640x480 resolution. It contains 4 always-on LED lights and provides live imaging via USB 2.0 and the included DinoCapture software. If more illumination is required, we recommend upgrading to the AM3011 with 8 LED lights or the AM3011T with 8 LED lights and Microtouch technology which allows instant capture of photos and video by simply touching the top of the unit.

In our opinion a key feature is the excellent color resolution which is unparalleled at this price point. It is better than most, more expensive digital microscopes and is achieved by use of a sophisticated jeweler's color balance. The focus mechanism is intriguing. With the microscope placed directly on a specimen, the Dino-Lite focuses at 50x or with a spin of the convenient thumb dial, at 200x.You can vary the magnification by raising the microscope to different heights above the specimen. 

Recommended applications include: PCB inspection, coin and stamp collecting, plant dissection, education, calligraphy, all kinds of collections and – well, plain fun such as inspecting hair follicles or nostrils at home!

Dino-Lite has been selling well through specialty channels and we are delighted to introduce it to the microscopy world. It is a highly versatile digital microscope, which given its range of features and price, makes it a strong choice for both professional and personal applications.
