EduPro EDU3L Series 10X-30X Stereo Microscope

The EDU3L13 stereo microscope offers a compact, turnkey solution for classrooms. The microscope is equipped with both reflected and transmitted illumination for viewing opaque and translucent specimens alike. A flexible gooseneck-mounted LED provides a third light-source. The rigid rack-and-pinion focusing track prevents errant rotation, and is more secure than models which use sliding height adjustment. Two pairs of objective lenses offer dual magnifications which can be easily alternated with a simple twist of the lens turret. Stereo Optics The microscope is equipped with 1X and 3X objective lenses which combine with the eyepiece magnification to provide 10X and 30X magnification respectively. Simply rotate the lens turret to switch magnifications. Multi-Illumination With both reflected and transmitted illumination, EDU3L series microscopes can be used to view opaque and translucent subjects. A gooseneck-mounted lamp provides an additional light-source which can be used to illuminate the specimen from various angles. This can provide shading to better define textures and transitions in materials. Each light source is independently controlled so the appropriate balance of light can be achieved. The microscope can be used with an AC outlet or AA batteries. The Stage The microscope’s stage has a raised 95mm platform which can be used with the included glass plate for transmitted illumination, or the two-sided opaque plate for reflected illumination. The raised platform has a unique design which allows it to be slid along the X and Y axes for minor adjustments to the specimen position. Additionally, it can hold a culturing dish for liquids or otherwise messy subjects.
