Description
Ideal for beginners who are unable or unwilling to prepare slides and specimens, BRESSER built the Erudit ICD 20/40x Stereo Microscope with relatively low magnifications and true stereoscopic vision for making detailed observation of larger specimens like bugs and insects, plants and flowers, gems and jewelry, coins and textiles, and more. The 10x wide-field binocular eyepieces produce either 20x or 40x depending on the objective you choose. A universal smartphone adapter is included that allows you to capture and share photos and video of your specimen through one of the eyepieces.The large base acts as the stage with two changeable object plates that allow you to better control the light tone and texture to match your subjects. Upper incidental light can be used for solid specimens, and you can choose either the black or white side of the object plate that best improves the contrast. Use the transparent object plate, with the matte side up or down, when using the lower transmitted light source. Each LED light has its own dimmer and power switch to give you absolute control of the available light. The illuminators run on three user-supplied AA batteries, and for safe transport and storage, BRESSER includes a foam-lined hard plastic case.Performance and Handling Stereo microscope produces a true 3D image with a rich depth of field ideal for irregularly shaped specimens like insects, plant/flowers, textiles, circuit boards, rocks/gems, and coinsTwo 10x wide-field eyepieces2x and 4x stereo objectives preserve natural stereoscopic visionChoose between 20x and 40x magnifications for larger specimen examination and inspectionLarge 30.5mm eyepiece barrel diameter presents a large field of viewLeft eye diopter correction and a generous 51-79mm interpupillary distance range allow easy use by just about any userWinged rubber eyecups block side peripheral light during observation to improve contrastFoam-lined hard plastic carrying caseStage and Illumination Wide working distance: Move head/objective up and down on the stand for the proper clearanceSingle-speed focus knobUpper (incident) and lower (transmission) LED illuminationSeparate dimmer switches for upper and lower LEDsChangeable objective plate provides the ability to change the character and tone of transmitted lightBlack/white object plate: Black on one side, white on the other.
