AmScope ME450TB-3M Digital Episcopic Trinocular Metallurgical Microscope, 40X-1600X Magnification, EW10x and EW20x Extreme Widefield Eyepieces, Infinity Plan Long Working Distance Objectives, Kohler Condenser, Halogen Illumination with Rheostat, Extra-Large Double-Layer Mechanical Stage, 110V, Includes 3MP Camera with Reduction Lens and Software

The AmScope ME450TB-3M digital metallurgical trinocular microscope has interchangeable pairs of 10x22mm and 20x12mm extreme-widefield eyepieces, a forward-facing quadruple nosepiece with five DIN infinity plan achromatic objectives, Brightfield episcopic halogen illumination, a Kohler condenser, and a double-layer mechanical stage with a stage stop to give protection to slides and objectives from damage. The 3MP camera has a CMOS color sensor, a reduction lens, image capture and editing software, and USB 2.0 output to capture or display still or video images on a pc or projector. The trinocular viewing head has a vertical camera mount, a Siedentopf binocular head to adjust interpupillary distance, a fixed 30-degree vertical inclination to cut back eye and neck strain, and a 360-degree rotation capability to enable sharing. The vertical trinocular port can be utilized as a C-Mount or a 23mm photo port. The Siedentopf head has a range of 48 to 75mm to accommodate individual eye differences, and bilateral dioptric adjustment to accommodate individual eye-strength differences. A Siedentopf binocular head enables the viewer to modify the interpupillary distance without changing the tube length, getting rid of the want to re-Center of attention the image. The microscope has a forward-facing quadruple nosepiece and includes 4x, 10x, 20x, 40xS (spring), and 80xS DIN long working distance infinity plan achromatic objectives that combine with the eyepieces to offer color correction of magnified images. Infinity plan objectives provide Center of attention over all the range of the viewing field, and a longer working distance for improved Center of attention when auxiliary components are utilized. The 40xS and 80xS objectives are spring loaded to prevent slide damage when focusing. A digital metallurgical microscope uses transmitted and reflected light to view opaque or metallurgical specimens, or larger specimens that can’t be viewed on a typical microscope stage, and is used where image capture, detailed records, or documentation is required.

The 3MP digital camera has a CMOS color sensor for displaying still microscopy images and streaming live videos to a pc or projector. The camera has 40x magnification and a 0.5x reduction lens that ensures that the display has a identical field of view as the microscope eyepiece. The camera will also be mounted in a C-Mount or any 23mm eye tube. The camera includes image capture and editing software that provides still image and live video capture and editing capability, including measurement functions. The software supports JPG, TIF, GIF, PSD, WMF, and BMP file formats and is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8; Mac OS X; and Linux. Camera drivers are compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8; Mac OS X; and Linux. The software includes Windows APIs for native C/C++, C#, DirectShow, Twain, and LabVIEW that enable custom application development. The camera has a USB 2.0 data port (cable included).

The microscope has reflected episcopic (upper) illumination that reflects light off the specimen for enhanced visibility of opaque specimens. The episcopic illumination system has independent filter holders for yellow, blue, green, and frosted filters (included). Kohler illumination focuses and centers the light path the use of two iris diaphragms, providing optimum contrast and resolution. The 20W halogen light source provides bright light in a concentrated path and has a rheostat to keep an eye on light intensity. The double-layer mechanical stage, with 1mm stage divisions and 0.1mm vernier graduations, locks the slide into place and provides precise slide manipulation along the X- and Y-axes to allow coordinates to be recorded, enabling the viewer to go back to a specific location at the slide. The stage has a slip-grasp that allows the stage to be coarse adjusted over large distances. A vertical stage stop prevents the stage from coming into contact with the slide and objectives. The stage is 11-3/4 x 10-1/2 inches (300 x 268mm) and has a traveling range of 10 x 10 inches (254 x 254mm). Graduated coaxial coarse and fine Center of attention has a focusing range of 1″ (25mm). Center of attention knob tension keep an eye on prevents the stage from drifting out of Center of attention. The microscope has a mechanical tube length of 6-5/16″ (160mm). The enamel-coated cast-steel body is durable and resistant to stains and corrosion.

Microscopes are instruments used to beef up 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, reasonably than having a look through a lens. Microscopes will have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers back to the size of an image. Resolution, often referred to as resolvant power, refers back to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can keep an eye on magnification through a fixed Center of attention, or through a range of adjustments. They may be able to also utilize LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to lend a hand keep an eye on viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely utilized in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and within the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries.
