Working Principle

The Multi Head Microscope KCX-179 operates using compound transmitted-light microscopy combined with a multi-observer optical distribution arrangement.

A suitable prepared specimen is placed on the mechanical stage.

The external halogen illumination system directs light through the condenser toward the specimen.

The selected objective collects transmitted light and forms a magnified intermediate image.

The infinity-corrected optical system supports image formation through its compatible optical components.

The multihead optical distribution arrangement directs the image toward the connected observation heads.

This allows multiple observers to examine the same specimen.

The green LED pointer can be used to indicate specific specimen features.

The mechanical stage provides controlled specimen positioning, while the coarse and fine focusing controls allow adjustment of image sharpness.
