MAGUS Bio 230T Biological Microscope

MAGUS Bio 230T is a trinocular biological microscope for professional observations in laboratories and research centers in the medical, pharmaceutical, forensic, biotechnological fields, etc. It is suitable for the observation of semi-transparent biological preparations and naturally transparent samples: thin sections and smears. With the use of achromatic objectives and halogen lamp, the analysis of the samples is carried out using the transmitted light (brightfield) microscopy technique. The design of the microscope offers the possibility of installing additional accessories that allow the use of other microscopy techniques: dark field, phase contrast and polarized light.

Optical

The trinocular head is equipped with a vertical tube for housing a digital camera. The camera (not included) is an excellent solution for creating a digital archive of your observations and can be used to transmit images to an external monitor. To adapt the optical tubes to the height of the observer, they can be rotated by 360°. The left tube is equipped with a diopter adjustment ring.

The nosepiece is oriented towards the inside of the instrument, so the space above the stage remains free. Five lenses can be mounted on the nosepiece at the same time (4 are included in the package and a fifth slot is left empty for an additional lens). In their basic configuration, infinitely corrected objectives provide 40x to 1000x magnification. With the use of additional eyepieces, the magnification can be increased up to 1500x, 1600x or 2000x.

Lighting

The halogen lamp produces warm-colored illumination, which has less impact on eye strain and is ideal for those who work long hours under the microscope. The lamp is 30 W, so the brightness and contrast of the transmitted image are high with any type of objective or observation technique.

The Abbe condenser is height adjustable and can be centered. Lighting is controlled by adjusting the field diaphragm and iris diaphragm, and Köhler lighting can be set up for better image clarity. The condenser has a slot to house a darkfield or phase contrast slider, which makes it quick and easy to switch between various microscopy techniques.

Stage and focusing mechanism

There is no positioning rack for the coffee table. This is an advantage in the design of the mechanical stage translator, as it makes it easier to use the microscope. The sample can be moved smoothly across the stage. The mechanical insert is removable (can be removed for manual scanning).

You can adjust the coarse and fine focus (macro- and micrometer screw) the movement of the focus knob is smooth, simple, and requires no effort. The coarse focusing mechanism is equipped with a fixing knob, and the tension of the coarse screw can be adjusted. The focusing knobs are coaxial and positioned to ensure maximum comfort during long hours of observation: they are located, in fact, on the base of the microscope, so that the observer can comfortably rest his hands on the table.

Fixings

To maximize the capabilities of the MAGUS Bio 230T microscope, you can upgrade it with a few accessories. These include eyepieces and objectives, digital cameras and calibration slides, darkfield capacitors, polarizers, and instruments for phase-contrast observations.
