Binocular Compound Microscope 40X-2000X

The Binocular Compound Microscope 40X–2000X is an optical microscope for educational, microscopy, laboratory, and lawful mycology research. Its binocular viewing head, multiple objectives, adjustable illumination, and coarse/fine focusing controls provide a flexible platform for observing compatible prepared specimens.

Published equipment information lists 4X, 10X, and 40X achromatic objectives, a stated overall magnification range of 40X to 2000X, upper and lower LED illumination, adjustable brightness, a five-color filter bar, and 110-volt electrical operation. Actual useful resolution is determined by the optical system and specimen preparation, so higher stated magnification should not automatically be interpreted as additional resolved detail.

The binocular compound microscope includes coaxial coarse and fine focusing controls for positioning the specimen image. Begin focusing carefully and avoid driving an objective into the slide. Clean optical surfaces only with materials and methods appropriate for microscope lenses.

Upper and lower illumination can support different specimen types depending on transparency and preparation. Adjust light intensity for comfortable viewing and contrast rather than assuming maximum brightness will produce the clearest image. The microscope should be placed on a stable surface with adequate clearance around the stage and electrical cord.

This 40X–2000X microscope is suitable for compatible educational and research observations but should not be represented as a clinical diagnostic instrument unless the exact unit carries documentation for that purpose. For digital imaging options, compare our Microscope with Camera Adapter.
