Optical System

Typically uses a brightfield optical system, with potential for phase contrast or darkfield accessories depending on configuration.

Magnification Range

Commonly offers a broad magnification range, often from 40x to 1000x, achieved through various objective lenses and eyepieces.

Illumination

Typically features a halogen or LED illumination source for transmitted light, often with adjustable intensity.

Stage Type

For this class of equipment, a mechanical stage with X-Y axis movement is standard for precise sample positioning.

Power Supply

Commonly operates on standard mains electricity, typically 230V, 50Hz for the UK market.

Objective Lenses

Units of this type commonly include a revolving nosepiece accommodating multiple objective lenses, such as the 10x/0.25 and 40x/0.65 specified here, with options for oil immersion lenses.

Focusing Mechanism

Typically features co-axial coarse and fine focus knobs for precise control.

• What kind of samples can this microscope examine?

  This type of microscope is generally suitable for viewing transparent or semi-transparent samples mounted on slides, such as biological tissues, thin material sections, or prepared specimens.

• Are additional objective lenses available for this model?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used microscope?

• Can this microscope be connected to a camera or computer?

• 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.
