Optical Combination:
Objectives: Fixed Type 2x
EyePiece: 10x Paired
Total Magnification: 20x
Additional Technical Specifications: The vertical (straight) binocular head provides direct line-of-sight viewing. The fixed 2x objective provides constant 20x total magnification with 10x eyepieces. The 10x paired eyepieces provide wide-field viewing with depth perception. The reflected (incident) light illumination illuminates specimens from above. The stage includes a white/black reversible plate for specimen contrast. The focusing mechanism is rack and pinion type for smooth adjustment. The working distance is approximately 60mm. The sturdy base provides stability for manipulation. The microscope dimensions are 200mm x 160mm x 300mm. The weight is 2.5kg. The finish is chemical-resistant paint. The unit includes a dust cover. No external power is required for reflected light if using ambient illumination; optional LED light available.
A stereo microscope is used to provide a three- dimensional view of the specimen under observation. The zoom stereo microscope is equipped with separate eyepieces and objective lenses which provide a different Optikal path for each eye resulting in zoomed visualization of the specimen. Buy a stereo microscope for use in mineralogy, study of insects and much more. These stereo microscopes are used for quality analysis in a metal industry. It offers comfortable viewing at an affordable price.
The Vertical Stereo Microscope with Fixed Objectives from Micron is a top rated entry-level stereo microscope for educational, hobbyist, and basic industrial applications requiring three-dimensional observation. Model KG-1848 features a fixed 2x objective with 10x paired eyepieces, providing 20x total magnification.
