Brand: Swift Optical
Features:
- Compound microscope provides high magnification for biological use and educational applications
- Trinocular viewing configuration with a Siedentopf binocular head that has a pair of 20mm 10x widefield eyepieces and fixed inclination to reduce eye and neck strain, and a trinocular port that accepts a camera adapter (sold separately)
- Reverse-mounted nosepiece with 4x, 10x, 40xR, and 100xR (oil) DIN plan, parfocal, parcentered objectives that provide improved focus over the entire range of the viewing field, and keep the image centered and focused when magnification is changed
- Brightfield, LED illumination with rheostat and rack-and-pinion 1.25 NA Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm for clear examination and light control
- Mechanical stage locks slide into place and provides precise slide manipulation along the X- and Y-axes, and coaxial nested coarse and fine focus knobs speed focusing

Details:
The Swift Optical M10T-P Trinocular Compound Microscope has a pair of 10x widefield eyepieces, a trinocular port, a reverse-mounted nosepiece with four DIN plan objectives that are parcentered and parfocal, LED illumination, coaxial nested coarse and fine focus, a 1.25 NA Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm, and a mechanical stage. The trinocular viewing head has a Siedentopf binocular head with a pair of eyepieces with interpupillary adjustment and a fixed inclination to reduce eye and neck strain, and a trinocular port that accepts a camera adapter (sold separately). A Siedentopf binocular head enables the viewer to change the interpupillary distance without changing the tube length, eliminating the need to refocus the image. Dioptric adjustment accommodates individual eye-strength differences. A reverse-mounted nosepiece keeps objectives out of the way to prevent damage and contamination, and to enable more secure slide handling. Plan objectives provide improved focus over the entire range of the viewing field. Parcentered and parfocal objectives ensure that the image stays centered and focused when the magnification is changed. The 40xR and 100xR objectives are retractable and spring-loaded to prevent damage to the slide or objective when focusing. The 100xR objective is also an oil objective that provides increased resolution over a standard objective. A compound microscope is used for inspection and dissection of specimens when two-dimensional images are desired.
The microscope has lower (diascopic) brightfield illumination that transmits light up through the specimen for enhanced visibility of translucent and transparent objects. Brightfield (BF) illumination allows the specimen to absorb light, resulting in a dark image on a light background. The LED light source provides bright, cool light for working with temperature-sensitive or live specimens, and a rheostat controls the amount of light emanating from the lamp. The Abbe conde
