Labomed 4141000 Model Luxeo 2S Binocular Stereo Microscope, 10x/30x Magnification, Greenough Optical System, Upper and Lower LED Illumination, Fixed Stage, 100V-240V

The Labomed 4141000 Model Luxeo 2S Binocular Stereo Microscope has a pair of 10x widefield eyepieces, a 1x/3x objective, Greenough optical system, upper and lower LED illumination, coaxial focus, and a fixed stage. The binocular head has a pair of eyepieces with interpupillary adjustment and a fixed inclination to reduce eye and neck strain. Dioptric adjustment accommodates individual eye-strength differences. The objectives provide low magnification and a longer focal length for inspecting large-scale specimens, or specimens that require hands-on manipulation or repair, including rocks, minerals, watches, or circuit boards. The Greenough optical system provides precision image creation. A stereo microscope, sometimes called an inspection or dissection microscope, has a longer working distance that enables users to manipulate the object being inspected, and is used in semiconductor and electronics industries or by mineralogists, dentists, and students when the user needs to handle or perform work under magnification, including circuit boards, rocks and gems, and dental appliances.

The microscope has upper (episcopic) illumination that reflects light off the specimen for enhanced visibility of opaque specimens and lower (diascopic) illumination that transmits light up through the specimen for enhanced visibility of translucent and transparent objects. The LED light sources provide bright, cool light for working with temperature-sensitive or live specimens, and a rheostat controls the amount of light emanating from the lamps. The upper ring light has five front-angled and five rear-angled LEDs with a switch to light all ten at once or just the front set or rear set. Lighting can be configured for upper, lower, or simultaneous upper and lower illumination. The lower light source has three LEDs. Coaxial focus eases focusing for left- and right-handed viewers.

Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound microscopes use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo microscopes show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital microscopes are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries.
