The monocular viewing head has LED and mirror illumination and a built-in color-filter wheel for viewing a variety of specimen types. Coaxial coarse focus eases use for young users and has a rack-and-pinion focus mechanism for precise focusing. The plain stage has stage clips that secure the slide or specimen in place during viewing. The white metal frame is durable and stain-resistant. The microscope comes with a 52-piece accessory kit with brine shrimp eggs and hatchery?? and a hard-sided plastic carrying case. The LED light is powered by two AA batteries (included). </p><table border="th="800" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr bgcolor="#DFE1E0"><th colspan="2" align="left"><b>Specifications</b></th></tr><tr><td>Head</td><td>Monocular</td></tr><tr><td>Magnification</td><td>300x 600x 1200x</td></tr><tr><td>Stage</td><td>Plain</td></tr><tr><td>Focus</td><td>Coaxial coarse</td></tr><tr><td>Light source</td><td>LED and Incidental</td></tr><tr><td>Power</td><td>AA batteries (2)</td></tr></tbody></table><br/><p>Microscopes are instruments used to enhance 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 rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one) binocular (two) or trinocular (three) eyepieces with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution also known as resolvant power refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV) numerical aperture (NA) and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus?? or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize LED?? fluorescent?? and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities.
