MAGUS Bio 260T Biological Microscope

The MAGUS Bio 260T is a microscope for everyday use in the laboratory, for scientific research or for training purposes. It works with thin, transparent, and translucent samples using the brightfield method. Additional components can be installed on the device to expand its functionality and use darkfield, phase contrast, and polarized and fluorescent light methods.
The model features a coded nosepiece that can accommodate up to five lenses. The "smart" lighting turns on automatically when the revolver is rotated and is adapted to the parameters of each target. Thanks to this feature, you don't waste time adjusting the light, which is a very important aspect in the training process or when you need to change the magnification often.

The microscope has a trinocular head that uses the system of optics to infinity. The pupil height is adjustable. The position is adjusted by rotating the tubes up to 360°. A digital camera is installed in a trinocular tube. The light is distributed to the camera and eyepieces in a 50/50 ratio. The kit's microscope includes basic eyepieces from 10x to 22 mm with a diopter adjustment mechanism. No adjustment is made to the pipes. Users who wear glasses can take advantage of the included rubber eyepieces to protect the lenses from abrasion and scratches.

The 5-objective nosepiece revolver is equipped with an automatic lighting control system. When changing the magnification, the user may notice noticeable fluctuations in the light level in the eyepiece: objectives of various magnifications transmit light in different ways. Smart lighting allows you to set the light level for specific lenses once, then when the nosepiece is rotated, the light is automatically adjusted. The microscope kit includes 4 objectives the user can place an objective in the fifth slot, as needed. The parfocal distance is 60 mm. The slot above the nosepiece is used to install the analyzer when the analyzer is not installed, the slot is closed with a plug.

The sample phase is designed with a belt motor: the sample is moved slowly and continuously. There is no positioning along the X-axis, so using the microscope is more ergonomic and comfortable. The sample holder is secured via two screws, which can be removed when necessary. Another practical detail is the long control handle of the coffee table. The microscope can be used with your hands flat on the table, without strain on your arms and body.

The condenser can be adjusted to the desired position, either vertically or along the optical axis (with a dovetail mount). The iris diaphragm is adjusted by a ring: it is equipped with a mark, and the objective magnification indicators are visible on the condenser body. For the contrast image, the mark is set to work with the lens installed. The capacitor can be equipped with darkfield or phase contrast sliders - there is a special slot for this.

The microscope is focused by means of a coaxial initial adjustment and a fine adjustment with knobs. The initial focus is done with the knobs on the left side. There are knobs to sharpen the focus on both sides, the one on the right side has special grooves for the fingers. An additional level of convenience is provided by the travel adjustment ring that allows you to conveniently adjust the tension of the coarse focus stroke. The knobs and ring are located on the bottom of the stand: they can be controlled with your hands resting comfortably on the table.

The illumination of the microscope is made with a LED 3 W mounted on a transmitted light illuminator. The lighting temperature remains stable even when the brightness varies. The optional search methods of this microscope involve the use of Köhler illumination. This type of illumination allows the entire sample to be illuminated uniformly, and elements such as dust or the image of the light source are not visible through the eyepiece or digital camera.

You can view the operating parameters and adjust them with the integrated display. at the base of the microscope. The display indicates the magnification of the lens used, the lighting parameters, the operating mode and the automatic stop time.

Additional elements are available to expand the functionality of the device. A set of eyepieces can increase the magnification range. For additional methods of operation with samples that are not observable with the brightfield method, the microscope should be equipped with a phase contrast device, darkfield slider, or polarization device. A digital camera can help capture study results through photos or videos or display images on the screen. You can measure objects with a calibration slide and an eyepiece with a graduated scale or digital camera.
