PEAK TS2064-040CIL-LED Wide Stand Rack and Pinion Focusing Microscope with LED Light, 40X Magnification, 0.142" Field View

The PEAK TS2064-040CIL-LED handheld, 40x measuring, wide-stand microscope has an inch-scale reticle with 0.0020" scale divisions and 0.120" measuring range is designed for examining specimens in field, labs, and quality control applications. The microscope has 40x magnification, a 0.142" field of view, and a 0.73" working distance. Lens coatings provide color correction to ensure full contrast. A rack-and-pinion system with coaxial focus knobs focuses specimens and a diopter-adjustable eyepiece provide separate focus to ensure sharp focus on both the specimen and the reticle. Two lighting sources can be used individually or together to provide a range of illumination options. The through-the-lens LED lighting provides high reflection and is dimmable to control the amount of light shining on the specimen. The separate, battery-operated penlight is side-mounted to provide external illumination (requires two AA batteries, included).

Specifications

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.

PEAK produces optical glass and equipment such as microscopes and loupes. The company, founded in 1950, is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.
