MAGUS Bio V350 Inverted Biological Microscope

The MAGUS Bio V350 is an inverted biological microscope used for the study of samples with and without added dye, contained in laboratory glassware: petri dishes, test tubes, crucibles, etc. The height of the glassware can start from 55 mm and reach 165 mm when tilting the illuminator support. The bottom of the glassware compatible with observation can be up to 1.2 mm thick. This microscope, which uses phase-contrast and brightfield transmitted light microscopy techniques, has a trinocular tube and a side camera port for installing a monitor and a digital camera, respectively. This model is suitable for routine work in professional and research laboratories as well as for teaching.

Optical

During the assembly of the microscope it is possible to select the position of the trinocular head: it can be rotated by 180° to adjust the height of the exit pupil. Use the vertical tube to accommodate the monitor and the side port on the microscope frame to install a digital camera. The beam splitter inserted in the stand divides the optical beam with a ratio of 100/0 or 0/100 while the beam splitter in the trinocular tube has a ratio of 50/50 (when open) or 100/0 (when closed).

Four infinitely planachromatic objectives are included in the package, one of which is designed for phase contrast microscopy. Once all four lenses are installed, there is a free slot on the objective revolver for adding an additional lens.

Lighting

The phase contrast condenser allows you to switch smoothly and conveniently from one microscopy technique to another. It has four working positions: with a free aperture for brightfield observations, 10x, 20x and 40x apertures for phase contrast with a suitable magnification objective.

The light source for observations in transmitted light is a 30 W halogen lamp that emits light with a color temperature designed for greater visual comfort. The brightness is adjustable and the lamp is powered by AC power. The lighting system makes it possible to set up Köhler lighting to improve image quality.

Stage and focusing mechanism

Four plate holders are included in the package. The supports can be moved along the X and Y axes via a translator insert, while the stage remains stationary. The housings are designed to accommodate glassware of various sizes.

The focusing mechanism is smoothly adjustable. The coarse focusing mechanism is equipped with a fixing knob, and the tension of the coarse screw can be adjusted. Fine focus scale value: 2 μm. The knobs are located at the base of the microscope and allow you to keep your hands in a more relaxed position while working.

Fixings

Additional accessories are available to maximize the potential of the microscope: eyepieces, phase contrast objectives, digital cameras, and calibration slides.
