Product Description
The Binocular Student Biological Microscope YR0242/YR0242-1 is a sophisticated tool designed to meet the demanding needs of educational and entry-level laboratory environments. This microscope delivers precise magnification ranging from 40x to 1000x, making it an ideal instrument for detailed biological studies. Its sliding binocular head is inclined at 45 degrees for comfortable prolonged usage, with the YR0242-1 model featuring an anti-mould system for enhanced durability.
Equipped with a wide-field WF10x/18mm eyepiece, the microscope ensures a broad, clear view of specimens. The quadruple nosepiece accommodates achromatic objectives of 4x, 10x, 40xs, and 100xs (oil), allowing for a diverse range of observations. The double-layer mechanical stage, measuring 140x140mm, with a moving range of 50x75mm, promotes effortless sample manipulation.
The focusing mechanism is both coaxial coarse and fine, featuring a fine focusing scale of 0.002mm and a coarse focusing stroke of 37.7mm per rotation, complete with tension adjustment and an up limit to safeguard the objectives and slides. Additionally, the N.A.1.25 Abbe condenser is coupled with an iris diaphragm and filter holder, enhancing the illumination provided by the built-in halogen lamp capable of operating within 100~240V.
For those looking to expand functionality, optional accessories such as a sliding trinocular head or Seidentopf head variants are available, further diversifying its applications. With a selection of blue, yellow, and green filters, this microscope can accommodate various lighting conditions, ensuring optimal specimen contrast.
