Overview
An adjustable Siedentopf head lets two eyes view the same slide through this Swift compound microscope. Achromatic objectives and LED illumination sit under a mechanical stage that moves the slide with precision. A metal body and blue finish complete the frame.
A binocular head and a mechanical stage are the reason to choose it for lab or classroom work with prepared slides. The limit is the listing detail: objective powers, condenser type and included accessories are not itemized.
Who it's for
Students, hobbyists and small labs that study slides at a bench will use the wide magnification range. Collectors of rocks, circuit boards or bulky samples need a stereo microscope, and fieldwork needs a portable model.
Pros and cons
- Binocular Siedentopf head
- Objective powers not itemized
- Needs a wall outlet
- Heavy to move around
Performance notes
Magnification comes from the objective lens multiplied by the eyepiece, so the two eyepiece options change the top end. Achromatic objectives reduce color fringing at the edge of the image. A mechanical stage allows small controlled slide movement, which matters at high power.
