Viewing Head: Monocular, likely inclined at 45° and rotatable 360° for comfortable viewing.
Eyepiece: Wide-field (WF) 10x, possibly with an 18mm field of view, removable for adding an eyepiece camera or micrometer.
Nosepiece: Triple revolving nosepiece with click stops for easy switching between objectives.
Objectives: Achromatic objectives, typically 4x, 10x, and 40x, providing magnifications of 40x, 100x, and 400x when paired with the 10x eyepiece.
Stage: Plain stage, approximately 95mm x 95mm, with slide clips to secure specimens. The image shows a flat stage without a mechanical stage, suggesting manual slide positioning.
Focusing: Coarse focusing mechanism, as seen with the large knob on the stand. Fine focus may not be present in this basic model.
Illumination: Likely a mirror for reflecting ambient light (common in basic models without built-in lighting), though some similar models like the Philip Harris M-100FLED have LED illumination with adjustable brightness powered by rechargeable batteries.
Monoscope Prime Monocular Zoom microscopes adopt apochromatic parallel optical imaging system and provide high resolution and sharp stereo scopic images. This series microscopes are designed for the applications in the fields of machine vision, industrial inspection and scientific research. Modularization product portfolio and excellent optical performance make them a better choice in these areas. This type of monocular microscope is typically designed for educational use, ideal for students in schools or beginners in laboratory settings. It features a single eyepiece (monocular head) and a sturdy stand with a flat stage for placing slides. The design emphasizes simplicity, portability, and ease of use, making it suitable for examining transparent specimens like cells or microorganisms. It often includes basic illumination, either through a mirror or LED, and is constructed with durable materials to withstand frequent use in classroom environments. The microscope in the image appears to have a vertical stand with a coarse focus knob, a flat stage, and a simple optical system, aligning with entry-level models.
