MAGUS Stereo A10 Stereomicroscope

Research grade stereomicroscope.
Designed for observing three-dimensional objects and the details of their structure while maintaining virtual volume and clarity of surface relief. Equipped with built-in transmitted and reflected light illuminators for observing transparent and opaque objects.
The Abbe optical design provides a large field of view high resolution accurate color reproduction and no field distortion. It produces an equally detailed and clear image both in the eyepieces and on a digital camera. The Abbe design involves installing additional components into the optical system.
The microscope is used for forensic examination industrial inspection biology medicine microelectronics materials science and archaeology.

Microscope head

Binocular head with an inclination angle of 20° comfortable for long-term work. To install a digital camera an intermediate attachment with a photo output and a C-mount adapter are required.
Diopter adjustment is done on the eyepieces.

Main objective

To form a three-dimensional image the Abbe stereomicroscope uses a main objective positioned strictly perpendicular to the sample plane. Light that passes through or that is reflected from the sample enters the objective and is distributed into two parallel optical channels. The stereoscopic angle is 11°.
The microscope is equipped with a 1x plan achromatic objective that provides a high degree of correction of field curvature as well as spherical and chromatic aberrations. Working distance: 78mm.

Zoom

Zoom objective lens – a lens system of parallel optical channels – smoothly changes magnification by 10x without losing focus. The microscope delivers an upright (not inverted) three-dimensional image.

Focusing mechanism

The coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs are on both sides. Fine focusing is ideal for observations at magnifications above 40x. The coarse focusing tension can also be adjusted.

Stage plates

You can choose a glass or black-and-white slider depending on the sample. The transparent plate ensures homogeneous illumination of the specimen and optimal light diffusion for observing transparent and translucent samples. The black-and-white plate is ideal for observing opaque samples against a contrasting background: The black side is for light-colored objects and the white side is for dark-colored objects.

Light source

The microscope is equipped with an LED transmitted light illuminator (6W) and a reflected light oblique illuminator (3W). The LED has a lifespan of 50 000 hours.

Accessories

There is a line of accessories that are designed for this microscope. The eyepieces extend the magnification range of the microscope. The main objective determines the overall magnification working distance and field of view of the microscope. A calibration slide helps with the precise measurement of specimens. The scale value on the calibration slide of stereomicroscopes is 0.1mm.
