The Stereo Optics Biological Microscope Unveils Enhanced Achromatic Objectives and High-Quality Imaging

At the heart of the Stereo Optics Biological Microscope are achromatic objectives offering magnifications of 4X, 10X, 40X (S), and 100X (S, Oil). These carefully calibrated objectives minimize color distortion and spherical aberrations, providing sharp, true-to-life images that enhance observation at every level. Achromatic lenses, specifically designed to improve color fidelity, deliver clear, high-contrast visuals by compensating for the chromatic aberration typically seen in standard lenses. The addition of the 100X oil immersion objective further improves resolution and detail, a critical advantage in fields like microbiology where observing minute cellular structures is paramount.

Complementing the objectives is the Wide Field Eyepiece (WF10X, WF16X), offering a broader field of view that allows users to examine larger specimen areas without compromising detail. This eyepiece selection offers flexibility and ensures that users have the option to explore samples with enhanced visual comfort, reducing eye strain during prolonged observation sessions. 

The microscope’s monocular viewing head is ergonomically designed to support extended use, perfect for laboratories with a high turnover of microscope operators or students. The choice of a monocular head balances ease of use with clear, accessible imaging, a particularly useful feature in educational settings.

One of the hallmark features of this microscope is its double-layer mechanical stage, sized at 125mm by 115mm, providing a spacious and stable platform for sample manipulation. The dual-layer design ensures smooth and precise movement, enabling easy adjustments to the specimen’s position without losing focus or image stability. Additionally, the coaxial coarse and fine adjustment knobs offer a focusing range of 30mm with an impressive interval precision of 0.002mm. This allows researchers to achieve fine adjustments easily, enabling enhanced accuracy in focusing on microstructures and significantly improving the observation experience.

The Abbe condenser with NA 1.25, paired with an iris diaphragm and a filter, optimizes illumination for clearer, more detailed images. This condenser model is ideal for high-resolution work as it allows light to focus sharply on the specimen, adjusting to variable aperture sizes. This adaptability is particularly advantageous for laboratories working with samples of differing transparency levels and sizes.

Powering the Stereo Optics Biological Microscope is a versatile halogen lamp, available in either 220V/6V20W or 110V/6V20W options, with an optional LED upgrade. The halogen illumination offers a bright and steady light source, ensuring consistent illumination that enhances contrast and clarity. For those seeking energy efficiency and longevity, the LED alternative provides similar advantages with the added benefit of a cooler operating temperature, reducing the risk of sample damage from heat exposure during extended observations.
