MAGUS Bio 230T biological microscope - MAGUS

MAGUS Bio 230T is a trinocular biological microscope for professional observations in laboratories and research centers in the medical, pharmaceutical, forensic, biotechnological fields, etc. It is suitable for the observation of semi-transparent biological preparations and naturally transparent samples: thin sections and smears. With the use of achromatic objectives and a halogen lamp, the analysis of the samples is carried out using a transmitted light (bright field) microscopy technique. The design of the microscope offers the possibility of installing additional accessories that allow the use of other microscopy techniques: dark field, phase contrast and polarized light.

Optics

The trinocular head is equipped with a vertical tube for housing a digital camera. The camera (not included) is an excellent solution for creating a digital archive of your observations and can be used to transmit images to an external monitor. To adapt the optical tubes to the observer's height, they can be rotated 360°. The left tube is equipped with a diopter adjustment ring.

The nosepiece is oriented towards the inside of the instrument, therefore, the space above the stage remains free. Five lenses can be mounted on the nosepiece at the same time (4 are included in the package and a fifth slot is left empty for an additional lens). In their basic configuration, infinity-corrected objectives provide magnification from 40x to 1000x. With the use of additional eyepieces, the magnification can be increased up to 1500x, 1600x or 2000x.

Illumination

The halogen lamp produces a warm colored lighting, which has less impact on eye strain and is ideal for those who work long hours at the microscope. The lamp is 30 W, therefore the brightness and contrast of the transmitted image are high with any type of objective or observation technique.

The Abbe condenser is adjustable in height and can be centered. Illumination is controlled by adjusting the field diaphragm and iris diaphragm; Furthermore, Köhler illumination can be set up for improved image clarity. The condenser features a slot to accommodate a dark field or phase contrast slider, making switching between various microscopy techniques quicker and easier.

Stage and mechanism of focus

There is no positioning rack for the stage. This is an advantage in the design of the mechanical stage shifter, as it makes it easier to operate the microscope. The sample can be moved smoothly across the stage. The mechanical insert is removable (it can be removed to perform a manual scan).

It is possible to adjust the coarse and fine focus (coarse and fine screw); The movement of the focus knob is smooth, simple, and requires no effort. The coarse focus mechanism is equipped with a fixing knob and the tension of the coarse screw can be adjusted. The focus knobs are coaxial and positioned to ensure maximum comfort during long hours of observation: they are, in fact, located on the base of the microscope, so that the observer can comfortably rest his hands on the table.

Accessories

To maximize the capabilities of the MAGUS Bio 230T microscope, it is possible to enhance it with some accessories. These may include eyepieces and objectives, digital cameras and calibration slides, dark field condensers, polarizers, and instruments for phase contrast observations.
