Ken-A-Vision TU-19331C Cordless Comprehensive Scope 2 Dual Purpose Compound Microscope with Binocular Head and Floating Stage; 10× Eyepiece; 2x, 4x, 10x, 40xS Obj.

The Ken-A-Vision T-19311C Comprehensive Scope 2 cordless, binocular compound microscope has limited stereo features, LED lighting with dimmer control (rheostat) and on/off switch, a 10x widefield eyepiece with reverse-mounted 4x, 10x, and 40xS DIN achromatic lens objectives, and is designed for biological use and educational applications. The binocular head has a fixed 30-degree incline and 360 degree rotation, interpupillary adjustment with a left eyepiece diopter to adjust for differences in eye strength, and a total magnification up to 400x. Separate knobs for coarse and fine focus provide sharp focus. The floating stage has clips to hold the slide in place and rack-and-pinion movement. Upper (incident) and lower (transmitted) bright and cool white LED light has a lower-level dimmer control (rheostat) and a separate on/off switch for a range of lighting options. The single-cast aluminum body has a built-in, retractable, carrying handle for strength and durability. A built-in rechargeable NiMH battery (included) enables the microscope to be used away from power sources. The microscope includes an allen wrench, cover, power supply, and instructions.

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.

Ken-A-Vision Manufacturing, founded in 1957 and headquartered in Kansas City, MO, manufactures educational products such as microscopes, cameras, and software.
