Description

This budget-friendly model is designed for middle and high school students. Features LED illumination and safety considerations and is both easy-going and tough. The LED light is rated at up to 50,000 hours. Delivers higher light efficiency than a standard 20-watt, tungsten bulb. The slip clutch prevents damage to the focus system from overturning, while the safety rack prevents damage to slides and objective lenses. The tension adjustment eliminates stage drift, while the low-position coarse and fine focusing controls allow students to get an accurate view with ease. The widefield 10x eyepiece features a revolving pointer and sits on a 45° inclined viewing head. The head also rotates 360° for sharing by multiple students. This microscope has three objectives for optimal viewing: 4x, 10x, and 40xR. Additionally, the specimen stage moves up and down, while the eyepiece and body remain fixed. Locked-on, spring-mounted stage slips ensure that specimens stay on the stage.
