Description

Full-sized performance in a microscope scaled down for younger students. Standard microscope format most commonly used throughout U.S. schools. Simple to use, yet prepares students for easy transition to high school instruction. Precision optical systems features achromatic, optical glass lenses. Rugged metal components are engineered for years of reliable performance. Student proof features minimize loss of parts and other student abuse. Recommended for instruction through grade 6.

OPTICAL SYSTEM

• H5x, WF10x, WF16x eyepiece
• Achromatic, color-coded 4x, 10x, 40xR objectives provide 40x, 100x and 400x magnification.
• Revolving objective turret has positive click stops for easy, precise magnification changes.

ILLUMINATION

• Includes 42mm plano-concave mirror.
• NOTE: With bright artificial or natural light, mirror model will provide very adequate illumination. However, if light conditions are poor, it is necessary to incline the microscope on its inclination joint for the mirror to catch sufficient light. Therefore, for a poorly lit environment we recommend the BIMC-ASS-08LED.

FOCUSING

• Rack and pinion focusing, dual coarse focusing knobs.
• Slip clutch protects mechanism from over-turning.
• Tension adjustment eliminates focus drift.
• Rack stop prevents damage to slides and lenses.
