Description
Ideal for biological students and microscopy enthusiasts, the BRESSER Erudit Basic 40-400x Binocular Microscope is powered by a three AA batteries that allow you to take it into the field for hours of on-the-ground research and comes with a universal smartphone adapter to capture photos and videos of your specimens through the eyepiece for documentation and sharing. Its binocular head is set at a comfortable 45 angle to the body for a natural viewing position and can rotate a full 360 to make sharing the view among lab partners and colleagues simple and easy. It comes equipped with two 10x wide-field eyepieces that, when combined with the objectives, produce magnifications from 40x to 400x making it ideal for viewing a wide variety of specimens, including thin sections, pond life, or skin and fur parasites. Employing a binocular head enables you to use the microscope with both eyes open, eliminating the eyestrain that is often associated with having to hold one closed for viewing.Its dual-speed coaxial focuser features coarse and fine adjustments to ensure views are tack sharp. A large stage has integrated slide holders that can be used with one hand to make changing slides fast and a Vernier scale on the X and Y axes for measuring your specimens. The lower LED illuminator has a rheostat to control the intensity and is directed through a large 1.25 NA Abbe condenser with a simple iris diaphragm that gives you extreme control of the light coming through to the stage. The aperture of the condenser is larger than the highest-power objective, so you can be sure that the appropriate amount of light is transmitted to the specimen at all magnifications. Current LED technology delivers higher light efficiency than a conventional tungsten bulb with a cool operating temperature that prolongs specimen life when viewing live material and extends battery life when working in the field.Performance and Handling Dual 10x wide-field eyepiecesBinocular head allows for both-eyes-open viewing offering optimum comfort and reduced eyestrainEyepieces set at a 45 angle to place user's head in a comfortable viewing position360 rotating head make it easy to share around a table with lab partners and colleaguesAdjustable interpupillary distance and dioptric correction enable users with different size faces and eye strength to easily achieve tack-sharp viewsTriple-objective turret offers three magnification choices to provide a wide range for a variety of applications: 40x, 100x, 400xDIN standard 4x, 10x, and 40x objectives40x objective is spring loaded to prevent damage if it comes into contact with specimen or stageAchromatic objectives provide clear and distortion-free views, especially at the edgesHard plastic carrying caseStage and Illumination Dual-speed coarse and fine coaxial focusing mechanism produces tack-sharp views for all usersFine focus knob has a scale for precise repeatabilityLarge specimen stage with integrated one-hand operation slide holder and X/Y Vernier scaleCoaxial adjustable stage enables precise specimen placement for optimum illumination and viewingLarge 1.25 NA Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm and filter holder allows the user to precisely control the amount and color of light transmitted to the specimen to improve their subject's contrast for better viewsHolder accepts 32mm diameter, 1.5mm thick filters to change the light color for improved contrastVariable-intensity lower LED illuminator provides transmitted specimen illuminationRuns on three AA batteries for work in the fieldSlide set with blank and prepared sidesSmartphone Adapter Easy to install and remove onto either eyepieceTake photos and video of specimens through the eyepiece for easy retention and sharingDesigned to fit most popular smartphonesFully adjustable to accommodate different camera positionsOutfitted with an array of suction cups to hold the phone safe and secureThumbscrew holds the adapter onto eyepiece
