Working Principle
The Monocular Microscope KCX-135 operates using the principle of compound optical magnification.
A suitable prepared specimen is positioned on the mechanical stage.
The LED illumination system provides light that passes through the specimen.
The Abbe condenser concentrates and directs light toward the specimen.
The selected objective lens collects transmitted light and forms a magnified intermediate image.
The WF10X eyepiece further magnifies the image for the observer.
The total nominal magnification is calculated by multiplying the objective magnification by the eyepiece magnification.
The coarse and fine focusing controls are used to obtain a clear image.
For suitable high-magnification observations, the 100X oil immersion objective is used with compatible immersion oil according to laboratory procedures.
Basic Microscope Observation Process

Microscope Compatibility and Usage
The KCX-135 Monocular Microscope is intended for observation of suitable prepared microscope slides.
It can be used in educational institutions, biology laboratories, microbiology training centers and research facilities.
The microscope should be positioned on a stable surface.
Specimens should be prepared according to the applicable laboratory procedure.
Observation should begin with the lowest-power objective.
The LED illumination, condenser and iris diaphragm should be adjusted according to specimen requirements.
Coarse focusing should be used carefully, particularly when the objective is close to the slide.
At higher magnification, fine focusing should be used for controlled adjustments.
The 100X oil immersion objective should be used only with suitable immersion oil and compatible specimens.
After use, the immersion objective should be cleaned with appropriate optical cleaning materials.
The microscope should be covered and stored in a clean, dry environment.
