Objectives:

  • Plan achromatic

  • Both the 40 x and 100x  objectives are spring loaded to prevent collision with the slide.

Negatives:  The rectangular shape of the base is not as comfortable  for the hands as a sloped base.

 This microscope comes with an excellent manual that  explains how to use  each component.

The condenser is pre-centred but there are instructions for  re-centering if it goes awry.

 The LED light is  dimmable and is a screw- in change-over.

 The 10 x occular lenses have a 20mm field of view,  are dioptic, have a pointer in one eyepiece and are fixed.

 The microscope's winged shape along with its hefty 9.5 kg weight makes it unlikely that  you will knock it over.    The weight  makes for expensive shipping estimated at $360 to Australia.

 The  design  of the occular head in relation to other  components looks especially comfortable to use.

 The objectives are infinity plan Achromatic

 The 100 x objective is spring loaded to prevent damage  via collision with cover slips.

Power Supply is universal to 240 watts.
