MAGUS Bio 230B biological microscope - MAGUS

The MAGUS Bio 230B microscope is designed for use in technical and research laboratories, for the observation of biological samples as thin cross sections or smears. The analysis of the samples is carried out using transmitted light (bright field) microscopy technique. If necessary, the microscope can be equipped with additional accessories for observations in dark field, polarized light and phase contrast techniques. This microscope is suitable for use in areas such as the pharmaceutical industry, medical research, biotechnology, environmental protection, forensic science and agriculture.

Optics

The microscope is equipped with a binocular head. The optical tubes can rotate 360°, allowing the user to adjust their position based on their height. On the left barrel there is a diopter adjustment ring. The nosepiece has 5 slots and is oriented towards the inside of the instrument: in this way, the user can see which objective is inserted in the optical path and the space above the stage remains free. Four achromatic objectives are included in the package and the fifth slot can be used to house an additional objective.

The optics are corrected to infinity. The basic magnification of the microscope ranges from 40x to 1000x. With additional eyepieces, it can be extended up to 1500x, 1600x and 2000x. If necessary, a digital camera (not included) can be housed in the optical tube.

Lighting

The light source is a halogen lamp positioned at the base of the microscope. The warm light reduces eye strain and is ideal for long hours spent working under the microscope. The 30 W halogen lamp allows you to reproduce bright, contrast-rich images with any type of objective and microscopy technique (including dark field and phase contrast).

The Abbe condenser can be centered and its position is adjustable in height. A dark field or phase contrast slider can be inserted into a dedicated slot, allowing you to easily switch from one observation technique to another. The field diaphragm makes the setup of Köhler illumination possible.

Stage and focusing mechanism

The stage does not have a focusing rack positioning, which makes it easier to operate the microscope. A mechanical insert, which, if necessary, can be removed, ensures smooth movement of the sample on the stage.

The coarse and fine focusing knobs (macro- and micrometric screw) are coaxial and positioned on both sides of the microscope, in the lower part. The position of the focus knobs allows you to rest your hands freely on the table and sit comfortably during prolonged observations. Focus adjustment is smooth and requires no effort. The coarse focus is equipped with a fixing knob and the tension of the coarse screw can be adjusted.

Accessories

Additional equipment, such as lenses , eyepieces, phase contrast devices, dark field condensers, polarization devices, digital cameras or other accessories can increase the capabilities of the microscope. They are designed for the MAGUS Bio 230B and available on request.
