Microscope.
(Physical Object)

10x eyepiece, 40x-400x magnification, brightfield, LED illumination, mechanical stage, 110V.

The C & A Scientific Premiere MSK-01L Basic Monocular Compound Microscope has a 10x eyepiece with pointer, a forward-facing nosepiece with three objectives, LED illumination, nested coarse and fine focus, disc diaphragm, and a mechanical stage. The monocular viewing head has a fixed inclination to reduce eye and neck strain. An eyepiece pointer is used to identify features for students. A forward-facing nosepiece eases changing objectives. A basic compound microscope is used in classroom, home school, and hobbyist settings for inspection and dissection of specimens when two-dimensional images are desired. The microscope has lower (diascopic) Brightfield illumination that transmits light up through the specimen for enhanced visibility of translucent and transparent objects. Brightfield (BF) illumination allows the specimen to absorb light, resulting in a dark image on a light background. The LED light source provides bright, cool light for working with temperature-sensitive or live specimens, and has a six-hole disc diaphragm to control the amount of light illuminating the specimen. The mechanical stage locks the slide into place and provides precise slide manipulation along the X- and Y-axes Coaxial coarse and fine focus knobs are nested to speed focusing for left-and right-handed viewers.
