Product Specifications
| Optical System | - Widefield 10x eyepiece with pointer.
- 45° inclined monocular viewing head.
- DIN standard 4x (0.10 N.A.), 10x (0.25 N.A.) and 40xR (0.65 N.A.) objectives are supplied for 40x, 100x and 400x magnification. Also included is a 100xR (1.25 N.A.) oil immersion lens for 1000x magnification. All lenses are achromatic, parfocalled, parcentered and color-coded.
- 4-hole objective turret with click-stops, ball-bearing mounted for smooth, precise changes in magnification.
|
| Illumination | - LED illumination rated up to 50,000 hours life, with light output equal to a 20 watt tungsten bulb, totally heat free.
- Rechargeable AA nickel metal hydride batteries can be recharged up to 500 times, with each 8 hour charge providing up to 50 hours of operation.
- Included recharger shuts off when batteries are fully charged, eliminating the danger of overcharging and shortening battery life. Microscope can be used during recharging, or recharger can remain plugged-in for conventional use.
