MAGUS Stereo A18T is a stereomicroscope designed according to the CMO system. The model belongs to the research class and is equipped with apochromatic optics. A stereoscopic microscope allows you to study objects in volume, explore the features of their relief, and assess their depth. The CMO design provides a large field of view, high resolution and authentic color reproduction. The image of the object is formed without geometric distortions: Its form is reflected accurately, and so the researcher does not have to mentally correct them and the work process is not tiring.
In the basic configuration, the microscope works with transparent and translucent objects in transmitted light. With additional accessories, the model allows for working in the darkfield method as well as in fluorescent or polarized light. A digital camera can be installed in the microscope and the research process can be recorded or transmitted to a screen.
The MAGUS Stereo A18T microscope is suitable for work and research in the field of medicine – including IVF – biology, forensics, and other examinations, materials science, and microelectronics as well as for quality control and studying the properties of objects in industry.
This microscope has a trinocular head with a separate vertical channel for a digital camera. The beam splits 100/0 or 0/100. Switching occurs between the right eyepiece tube and the trinocular tube and does not affect the left eyepiece tube. The trinocular head inclination angle is 20°. The eye relief can be adjusted by rotating the tubes around their axis.
A zoom objective in each of the eyepiece tubes simultaneously changes the magnification and focal length. As a result, the object is always displayed sharply and in focus – even when changing magnification. Zoom ratio: 18:1. The image of the object is formed upright.
The main objective is installed strictly perpendicular to the plane of the object. This arrangement forms a correct image of the object without geometric distortions. The stereoscopic angle is 11°. The main objective magnification is 1x and the aperture is 0.15. Apochromatic optics correct spherical and chromatic aberrations for multiple colors. Working distance: 60mm.
To adjust the focus, the stand has two knobs located on both sides. The knobs adjust the coarse and fine settings.
The stage is equipped with a glass insert, on which samples are placed for examination in transmitted light. The base has a black plate for implementing the method of oblique illumination in transmitted light. The position of the plate is controlled by the adjustment slider on the right side of the base. Next to the slider is a rod that is responsible for the input and output of the prism for working with different magnifications.
A light-emitting diode serves as the illuminator of transmitted light. Its power is 10W, which is sufficient for research not only in the brightfield but also in polarized light or using the darkfield method. The LEDs are designed to provide 50,000 hours of operation.
