MAGUS Bio VD300 Digital Inverted Biological Microscope

The MAGUS Bio V300 is an inverted design biological microscope for the study of samples on laboratory glassware up to 70 mm in height and with a bottom thickness of up to 1.2 mm. Objects of study can be cell colonies, tissue cultures, biological fluids, etc. In addition, the samples do not need to be added dyes for ease of examination. Observations are made in transmitted light. Microscopy techniques: brightfield and phase contrast. This microscope is suitable for routine work in laboratories and research centers or for teaching.

Digital camera

Video optical tube with a digital sensor SONY Exmor 8.3 MP. The sensor uses backlight technology to improve light sensitivity and produce bright, sharp images even in low-light conditions. The camera is used for observation using the brightfield and darkfield microscopy technique on objectives with 4x, 10x and 20x magnification. It can also be used for stereoscopic microscopes. To connect to a computer and display images on the screen, a USB 3.0 port with high data transfer speed (5 Gbps) is used.

The MAGUS CDF30 camera is installed on the trinocular tube or optical tube of a microscope. You can achieve the maximum field of view without optical defects using an adapter with 0.65x to 0.9x magnification. In addition to the adapter, you will need an adapter of the same diameter as the tube to install the camera on the optical tube.

The image is displayed on your computer screen with a maximum resolution of 3840x2160 px. The frame rate is 45 fps. At a lower resolution (1920x1080 px), the frame rate increases up to 70 fps. Transitions between frames are almost imperceptible, with no lag, so the camera lends itself to studying and presenting moving objects. Photos and videos are recorded and saved in different formats.

Optical

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

Lighting

The light source for observations in transmitted light is a LED 9 W The high intensity of the LED It ensures that the illumination of the field of view is sufficient to work with all objectives and with each of the microscopy techniques provided. Adjusting the brightness does not cause any change in color temperature. The life cycle of LED is approximately 50,000 hours without any bulb replacement.
The capacitor has a slot available for a phase contrast slider (included). You can center the phase contrast rings. Inserting the slider saves time when you want to switch from one microscopy technique to another.

Stage and focusing mechanism

Fixed shifting table. It is equipped with plate holders (three different size glassware housings are included). The plates can be moved along the X-axis and Y-axis using a translator insert. The focusing mechanism with coaxial macro and micrometric screw allows the image to be focused quickly and accurately. The coarse focus (coarse screw) is equipped with a fixing mechanism and the tension of the coarse screw can be adjusted.

Fixings

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