The MAGUS Bio V300 is an inverted-design biological microscope for studying samples in laboratory vessels up to 70 mm high and with a bottom thickness of up to 1.2 mm. The specimens studied may include cell colonies, tissue cultures, biological fluids, etc. In addition, the samples do not need to be stained to facilitate examination. Observations are made using transmitted light. Microscopy techniques: brightfield and phase contrast. This microscope is suitable for routine work in laboratories and research centers or for teaching.

Optics

This microscope is equipped with a classic trinocular head, whose vertical tube is used to house a digital camera. The camera is not included. The beam splitter in the optical path has a 50/50 ratio.
Four objectives included, or others purchased separately, can be mounted on the revolving nosepiece. All included objectives are designed for use with laboratory vessels and have a long working distance. Specifically, 3 plan achromatic objectives for brightfield observations and 1 plan achromatic objective for phase-contrast microscopy are included.

Illumination

The light source for transmitted-light observations is a 9 W LED. The high LED intensity ensures that the field of view is sufficiently illuminated for working with all objectives and each of the available microscopy techniques. Adjusting the brightness does not cause any change in color temperature. The LED lifespan is approximately 50000 hours, with no need to replace the bulb.
The condenser has an available slot for a phase-contrast slider (included). The phase-contrast rings can be centered. Inserting the slider saves time when switching from one microscopy technique to another.

Stage and focusing mechanism

Fixed mechanical stage. It is equipped with a plate holder (three holders for vessels of different sizes are included). The plates can be moved along the X and Y axes using a mechanical stage insert. The coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs allow the image to be focused quickly and accurately. The coarse focus (coarse focusing knob) has a locking mechanism, and its tension can be adjusted.

Accessories

The optional accessories range includes objectives, eyepieces, digital cameras, and calibration slides.
