Key Features and Specifications

• Optical System:
  Infinity optical system that provides clear, bright, and high-contrast images across the entire field of view.

• Eyepieces:
  Standard 10× widefield eyepieces with a field number of 20, providing a wide and comfortable viewing area.

• Observation Head:
  Binocular viewing head inclined at 30°, with an interpupillary distance adjustable from 48 mm to 75 mm. The diopter adjustment allows easy focusing for individual users.

• Objectives:
  Equipped with Plan Achromat objectives that are anti-fungal coated for longevity.

  • 4× (NA 0.10, working distance 27.8 mm)

  • 10× (NA 0.25, working distance 8.0 mm)

  • 40× (NA 0.65, working distance 0.6 mm)

  • 100× oil immersion (NA 1.25, working distance 0.13 mm)

• Stage:
  A mechanical, rackless stage with X-Y coaxial controls for smooth slide movement. The travel range is approximately 76 mm (X) × 30 mm (Y). Its rackless design increases safety and prevents snagging during use.
