• Educational institutions for microscopy training.
• Clinical diagnostics and pathology.
• Material science for microstructural examination.

Microscope Type

Typically an upright biological microscope, suitable for transmitted light observation.

Magnification Range

Commonly features objective lenses providing total magnifications from 40x to 1000x, with potential for higher magnification using specialised objectives.

Illumination

Typically employs a halogen or LED light source for transmitted illumination, often with Köhler illumination for optimal contrast and resolution.

Eyepieces

Usually supplied with widefield eyepieces, commonly 10x magnification, providing a broad field of view.

Nosepiece

Features a revolving nosepiece, typically quintuple, allowing for quick objective lens changes.

Focusing

Equipped with coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs for precise sample adjustment.

Power Supply

Commonly operates on standard UK mains power (230V, 50Hz) via an AC adapter.

Stage

Typically includes a mechanical stage with X-Y movement for accurate sample positioning.

• What types of samples can this microscope view?

  This class of microscope is primarily designed for viewing transparent or semi-transparent biological samples on slides, such as tissue sections, blood smears, and cell cultures.

• Is this microscope suitable for darkfield or phase contrast imaging?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used microscope?

• Can this microscope be connected to a camera for digital imaging?

• What is the typical footprint of a microscope like this?

Used microscopes are widely regarded as reliable investments when sourced from reputable suppliers. Buyers typically prioritize optical quality, mechanical condition and calibration history. Key considerations include lens cleanliness, stage functionality and electronic components if applicable. Industrial and laboratory users consistently value equipment with documented maintenance records and original accessories. Established brands tend to retain functionality well across decades. Buyers should verify light source operability and request detailed condition reports before purchase to ensure equipment meets specific magnification and resolution requirements.
