Brand: National Optical
Features:
- Stereo zoom microscope for inspection and dissection creates three-dimensional images within a continuous magnification range of 10x to 40x
- Trinocular viewing configuration with a binocular head that has a pair of 10x widefield eyepieces and fixed inclination to reduce eye and neck strain, and a trinocular port that accepts a camera adapter (sold separately)
- 1x to 4x zoom objective provides low magnification and longer focal length for inspecting large-scale specimens
- Upper halogen and lower fluorescent illumination with selectable lighting configuration, interchangeable stage plates, and a blue filter for clear examination and light control
- Fixed stage with clips secures slides in place, and coaxial focus knobs speed focusing

Details:
The National Optical 420T-430PHF-10 Trinocular Stereo Zoom Microscope has a pair of 10x widefield eyepieces, a trinocular port, a 1x to 4x zoom objective for 10x to 40x continuous magnification, upper halogen and lower fluorescent illumination, coaxial focus, and a fixed stage with clips. The trinocular viewing head has a binocular head with a pair of eyepieces with interpupillary adjustment, fixed inclination to reduce eye and neck strain, and 360-degree rotation capability to provide a more comprehensive view and enable sharing; and a trinocular port that accepts a camera adapter (sold separately). Dioptric adjustment accommodates individual eye-strength differences. The zoom objective provides low magnification and a longer focal length for inspecting large-scale specimens, or specimens that require hands-on manipulation or repair, including rocks, minerals, watches, or circuit boards. A stereo zoom microscope is used for inspection and dissection of specimens when three-dimensional images are desired, and provides zoom, sometimes called pancratic, magnification that allows the user to zoom in on the specimen within a continuous magnification range.
The microscope has upper (episcopic) illumination that reflects light off the specimen for enhanced visibility of opaque specimens and lower (diascopic) illumination that transmits light up through the specimen for enhanced visibility of translucent and transparent objects. The upper halogen light source provides bright light in a concentrated path, and a rheostat controls the amount of light emanating from the lamp. The lower fluorescent light source provides cool, white light for observing specimens as they would appear in their natural environment. Lighting can be configured for upper, lower, or simultaneous upper and lower illumination. The reversible black and white stage plate is used with top-mounted lighting to provide contrast with light- and dark-colored specimens. The frosted gla
