MAGUS Bio D240T LCD Biological Digital Microscope

The microscope is suitable for observing transparent and translucent biological samples such as smears and cross sections using the brightfield microscopy technique in transmitted light. The coded revolving nosepiece maintains a comfortable brightness level when the objectives are changed. The microscope's intelligent lighting control system improves comfort and speed of the researcher’s everyday work. Smart features help students ease into the profession and gain the professional experience they need. Practical aspects play an important role for student microscopes. The size weight ease of storage of the cords and the microscopes themselves are important in everyday use. This microscope is convenient to move around on a table due to its small dimensions and low weight. It does not take up much space in storage. It is equipped with a 2MP camera with an HDMI interface. The digital camera outputs the image directly on the monitor screen with no connection to a computer. The software complements the system with analysis and documentation functions. The monitor in the digital microscope has Full HD resolution.

Digital camera

The MAGUS CHD20 Digital Camera is equipped with a 2MP sensor and produces realistic Full HD images at a resolution of 1920x1080px. The camera features high light sensitivity that is suitable for working in fluorescent light. Through the use of RGB primary color mosaic filters low dark current and a clear image are achieved. The camera uses an HDMI interface to connect directly to a TV monitor or projector. In this mode the camera operates autonomously without a PC. The HDMI interface provides a high and stable transfer rate from the camera to the external screen. An additional USB2.0 interface is provided for connecting the camera to a PC. Video is recorded at 60fps or 50fps depending on the video output interface. The camera combines high FPS and high bandwidth HDMI and therefore videos are vivid with no freezes or gaps between frames. At maximum resolution the image is well-detailed moving objects are visible without any bugs and object movement is displayed without delays.

Monitor

The MAGUS MCD20 Monitor is designed to use a visualization system of the MAGUS microscope. It is connected to a camera mounted on the microscope to display real-time images. It is compatible with MAGUS HDMI cameras operating in Full HD resolution. The screen diagonal is 13.3 inches. The IPS sensor delivers a bright image with large viewing angles: If you look at the monitor at an angle there is no color distortion. The display can be placed on a folding stand on a table or mounted directly on the camera whichever is more convenient for the user.

Microscope head

Trinocular head with infinity-corrected optics. The eyepiece tubes are 360° rotatable. The user can adjust the eyepiece height to suit their individual stature. The digital camera is mounted in the trinocular tube. Beam splitting ratio: 0/100 and 100/0. The kit includes 10x/20mm eyepieces with long eye relief. Flat rubber eyecups without protruding parts protect the optics of glasses from scratches. Diopter adjustment is done directly on the microscope: Diopter adjustment rings are located on both eyepiece tubes.

Revolving nosepiece

The coded revolver for four objectives is oriented toward the interior: The user can see the objective inserted into the optical path and the space above the stage is free.

Maintaining comfortable brightness levels when switching magnifications

The objectives of different magnifications transmit light with different levels of intensity and so each time you change objectives the brightness of the light must be adjusted. Switching from a higher to a lower magnification objective causes eye fatigue as the image brightness in the eyepieces increases sharply. The MAGUS Bio D240T LCD which is equipped with intelligent brightness control solves this problem. The microscope remembers the brightness for each objective that the user has selected and automatically sets this brightness when turning the nosepiece. Intelligent control reduces the time required to adjust brightness. MAGUS Bio D240T LCD increases user comfort and saves time even when the given work requires frequent magnification changes.

Focusing mechanism

Coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs are located at the bottom of the microscope body on both sides of the stand. The user can place their hands on the table and take a relaxed pose while observing. The focus adjustment is smooth and effortless. The coarse focus lock knob helps you quickly adjust the microscope after changing the object of study. The knob is located on the left side of the microscope on the same axis as the focusing mechanism. The ring on the right side adjusts the tension of the coarse focusing travel. The user adjusts the comfortable tension for work.

Stage

The stage has no X-axis rack and pinion which improves ergonomics. The belt-driven mechanism allows for smooth movement of the specimen. The specimen holder is secured with two screws and can be easily removed during manual scanning.

Abbe condenser

An Abbe immersion condenser with N.A. 1.25 is fixed with two screws under the stage. The height of the condenser position is set at the factory and does not require adjustment by the user. The condenser is centered relative to the optical axis. Locking the condenser position eliminates the risk of accidentally changing the correct setup. The pre-configured condenser makes it easier for students to operate the microscope and it frees up more time for science. The condenser knob adjusts the iris aperture diaphragm. The color marking corresponds to the objective magnification. To achieve a contrast image on each objective it is recommended to set the aperture adjustment knob to a position that corresponds to the number designation of the objective.

Light source

The transmitted light illuminator contains a 3W LED. The microscope illuminator has the function of adjusting the color temperature in the range of 3000K to 7000K. The user selects a color temperature that is comfortable for their eyes and they can easily change it with just one button when for example examining an object requires changing the light. The LED lifetime is 50 000 hours.

Status LCD screen

The LCD screen on the base of the microscope displays the objective magnification brightness and color temperature of the light source and operating mode (“sleep” and “eco”). Using the screen and two knobs the microscope user adjusts the brightness selects the color temperature locks the brightness adjustment and sets the sleep mode and auto-off timer.

Ergonomic design

The sides of the “window” in the stand form handles for carrying the microscope with two hands. The design for the hidden placement of the power adapter and power cord improves the workplace esthetic and safety of carrying the microscope as well as simplifies storage of the device.
