The MAGUS Bio D250TL LCD microscope studies thin sections and smears of biological samples. Observations are made using the brightfield microscopy technique in transmitted light. A 3-watt LED serves as the light source, and the optics feature infinity plan achromatic objectives. The microscope supports additional accessories, including darkfield, polarization, and phase contrast devices. This microscope is the ideal choice for laboratory analysis, research, and teaching.
Digital camera
The digital HDMI-camera MAGUS CHD10 is equipped with a 2MP sensor and produces realistic Full HD images at a resolution of 1920x1080px. It is an autonomous camera that does not require connection to a computer or the installation of additional software. The camera can be connected directly to a TV, monitor, or projector to display an image. The HDMI interface provides a high and stable transfer rate from the camera to the external screen. Video is recorded at 60fps. The camera combines high FPS and high bandwidth HDMI. Therefore, videos are vivid, with no freezes or gaps between frames. At maximum resolution, the image is well-detailed, moving objects are visible without bugs, and object movement is displayed without delays.
Monitor
MAGUS MCD monitors work in combination with MAGUS CHD cameras to form a complete imaging system for MAGUS microscopes.
The connection to the camera occurs via its HDMI interface. The monitor displays real-time images. Its IPS LCD display has a wide viewing angle, high brightness, and good contrast. When looking at the screen even from a large angle, the image is not distorted. The screen size is 13.3''.
The monitor can be installed on a horizontal surface using a folding stand or mounted directly on a camera or tripod.
Optics
The trinocular head includes two eyepiece tubes for observations and a vertical tube for mounting digital camera (not included). The tubes are 30° inclined for comfortable long working hours and can be rotated 360° to fit the height of the observer. There is a diopter adjustment ring that is located on the left tube.
Objectives are mounted in a 5-slot revolving nosepiece – four objectives are included, one slot for an additional objective is left free. Any optional objective can be installed in the free slot, allowing for additional magnification within the magnification range. The user can see the objective inserted into the optical path during the observation as the revolving nosepiece is oriented toward the interior. It keeps the space above the stage free.
The magnification range is from 40x to 1000x (only applies to the basic configuration). If you add additional objectives, the upper magnification limit will be increased.
Illumination
LEDs mounted at the bottom of the microscope provide bright and even illumination of the object. The color temperature remains the same when changing brightness. The power of the illumination is 3W. It has an operating life of 50,000 hours. The lighting system is powered by an AC power supply.
By adjusting the position of the Abbe condenser and opening or closing the aperture and field diaphragms, it is possible to set up the Köhler illumination. You can use sliders for darkfield and phase contrast techniques (a special slot is provided in the condenser). With the slider, switching between the research techniques is very fast.
Stage and focusing mechanism
The stage has no positioning rack. Therefore, it will not disturb you during observations, and the microscope itself will take up less space on the desktop. The mechanical attachment that moves the sample is removable (useful for manual scanning).
Coarse and fine focusing are used for focus adjustment. The knobs are located on both sides. As they are located closer to the base, you do not have to hold your hands in the air while working. You can relax them on the table. The coarse focusing has a lock knob and tension adjustment. The focus adjustment is smooth and effortless.
