Description

The 100X-1000X is a bit different from our other microscopes at this level. It offers only 3 levels of magnification - 100X, 400X, and 1000X (for oil immersion). Most microscopes at this level offer a 40X magnification, but this company has chosen to leave off the lower magnification. One feature not included on this series is the built-in pointer. Some folks will appreciate this because they feel it gets in the way of their viewing, others will miss it because they feel it pinpoints the specimen being viewed.This model offers a 115mm x 125mm mechanical stage, movable 1.25 Abbe condenser, iris diaphragm, filter holder, and separate coarse and fine focus adjustments with slip clutch. The set includes a dust cover, extra fuse, blue filter disc, and operates on AC only. Note that the immersion oil is not included.

Carson Optical has been in the business of quality optics for over 20 years, and the expansion into microscopes is a good one. They offer affordable options for your educational needs. ~ Donna
