6. Wide-Field WF10X / 20 mm Eyepieces

The KCX-188 includes wide-field 10X eyepieces with a 20 mm field number.

The eyepieces feature ±5 diopter adjustment and antifungal and anti-reflection coatings to support convenient observation.

7. 110 mm Working Distance

The microscope provides a 110 mm working distance, creating space between the objective and specimen.

This is particularly useful for electronic component inspection, small mechanical assemblies, biological specimens and laboratory manipulation tasks.

8. Dual Incident and Transmitted LED Illumination

The microscope incorporates two illumination systems:

• 3W incident LED illumination for surface observation.

• 3W transmitted LED illumination for suitable transparent or translucent specimens.

The dual-light arrangement supports a wider range of inspection applications.

9. Adjustable LED Light Intensity

The KCX-188 features combined illumination control buttons and a rheostat dial for regulating LED brightness.

Users can adjust illumination according to specimen transparency, surface reflectivity and observation requirements.

10. Long-Life LED Illumination

The LED system has a stated rated working life of up to 100,000 hours, depending on component specifications and operating conditions.

11. Precision Coaxial Focusing System

The microscope incorporates coaxial coarse and fine focusing controls with a specified fine adjustment scale value of 0.002 mm.

This arrangement supports controlled focusing during detailed specimen examination.

12. Heavy-Duty Aluminum Die-Cast Stand

The KCX-188 features a single-mould aluminum die-cast stand designed for stability and resistance to corrosion.

Biological Specimen Observation

The KCX-188 Advanced Stereo Zoom Microscope is suitable for examining biological specimens that require low-magnification stereoscopic observation.

It can be used for observing insects, plant structures, seeds, leaves and other suitable three-dimensional biological samples.

Electronics Inspection

Educational Institutions and Universities

Schools, colleges, universities and technical training centers can use the microscope for scientific demonstrations, laboratory training and practical microscopy education.

Botany and Zoology Laboratories

The KCX-188 can support observation of plant structures, insects and other suitable biological specimens that benefit from stereoscopic viewing.

Precision Component Inspection

The microscope can be used to examine small mechanical components, connectors, precision parts and other suitable manufactured objects.

Jewelry and Gemstone Examination

The stereo zoom system can support visual examination of jewelry surfaces, gemstones and small decorative components, subject to the requirements of the inspection task.

Material Surface Inspection

The microscope can be used for observing surface textures, small defects and structural features of suitable materials.

Laboratory Specimen Preparation

The 110 mm working distance and stereoscopic optical system provide space for positioning and manipulating suitable specimens during preparation and inspection.

Digital Image Documentation

When fitted with a compatible microscope camera and adapter, the trinocular head can support digital image capture and specimen documentation.

Technical Training and Demonstrations

The microscope is suitable for demonstrating stereoscopic observation, continuous zoom adjustment, incident illumination and transmitted-light examination.

Working Principle

The Advanced Stereo Zoom Microscope KCX-188 operates using the Greenough stereoscopic optical principle.

The microscope contains two separate optical paths arranged at slightly different viewing angles.

Each optical path produces an image of the specimen from a different perspective. When these images are viewed through the binocular eyepieces, the observer perceives depth and three-dimensional structure.

The continuous zoom optical system allows the user to adjust magnification from 7X to 45X without changing objective lenses.

The specimen is positioned beneath the microscope objective, and the focusing controls are adjusted to obtain a sharp image.

The 110 mm working distance provides clearance for specimen handling and manipulation.

For opaque specimens, the incident 3W LED light illuminates the specimen surface from above.

For transparent or translucent specimens, the transmitted 3W LED light illuminates the sample from below.

The microscope's illumination controls allow users to adjust the lighting intensity according to specimen characteristics.

The trinocular observation head provides an additional optical path for compatible digital imaging equipment.

Magnification and Zoom Specifications

The stated 7X–45X range represents the microscope's total optical magnification with the specified eyepieces.

Microscope Compatibility and Usage

The KCX-188 Advanced Stereo Zoom Microscope is designed for examining suitable three-dimensional objects, biological specimens, electronic assemblies and industrial components.

It can be used in scientific laboratories, electronics industries, educational institutions, research centers and industrial inspection facilities.

For surface inspection, users should select incident illumination and adjust the light intensity according to the specimen's surface characteristics.

For suitable transparent or translucent specimens, transmitted illumination can be used.

The continuous zoom mechanism allows users to increase or decrease magnification while observing the specimen.

The microscope's coaxial focusing controls should be used to obtain a sharp image at the selected zoom setting.

Compatible digital imaging accessories may be connected through the trinocular port when the appropriate camera adapter is available.
