Stereo microscopes model 40x are robust microscopes that are distinguished by their ease of operation and excellent mechanical and optical quality. They can be used in numerous applications within the fields of biology and geology. Simply by rotating the objective from the 2x setting to 4x, the overall magnification can be set to 20x or 40x. With the aid of accessories, a magnification of up to 80x can be achieved. There is a choice of two illumination sources: plain reflected illumination plus reflected and transmitted light and a mixture of the two. It is also possible to choose between conventional illumination with a light bulb and low-temperature LED illumination. The low-temperature illumination allows samples to be viewed for longer without heat affecting the prepared specimen. It also has the advantage of being brighter, as well as being longer lasting and eliminating the need to change bulbs. Power is supplied to the LED illumination via rechargeable batteries, so that the microscope can also be used without a mains connection.
