The Projection Microscope KCX-193 is designed for microscopic specimen demonstrations in educational laboratories.
Unlike a conventional microscope that requires each observer to look directly through an eyepiece, a projection microscope displays a magnified image on a dedicated viewing screen.
The KCX-193 incorporates a 150 mm diameter glass projection screen that can rotate through 360°.
This arrangement supports group observation during classroom teaching and laboratory demonstrations.
The microscope features achromatic 4X, 10X and 40X objectives for different levels of specimen examination.
Its LED illumination system provides light for specimen observation and projection.
The square stage holds prepared slides using stage clips, while an optional mechanical stage can provide additional positioning convenience.
The KCX-193 is intended for schools, colleges, universities, science laboratories and educational training centers.

Working Principle
The Projection Microscope KCX-193 operates using optical magnification and image projection.
The LED illumination system provides light for examining a suitable specimen placed on the stage.
Light passing through the specimen enters the selected objective lens.
The objective forms a magnified image that is directed through the microscope's optical system.
The projection arrangement displays the magnified image on the 150 mm glass projection screen.
The screen can be rotated through 360° to provide a convenient viewing orientation.
Different objectives can be selected using the triple revolving nosepiece.
The 4X objective is suitable for initial scanning, while the 10X and 40X objectives provide higher magnification.
The stage clips hold the microscope slide during observation.
The microscope is intended to make microscopic structures easier to demonstrate during educational sessions.
Basic Observation Procedure
Microscope Setup: Position the KCX-193 on a stable laboratory bench.
Specimen Preparation: Select a suitable prepared microscope slide.
Slide Positioning: Place the slide on the square stage.
Slide Securing: Use the stage clips to hold the slide.
Illumination: Switch on the LED lamp.
Objective Selection: Begin with the 4X objective.
Focusing: Adjust the microscope focus until the specimen image is clear.
Projection Observation: Examine the image displayed on the glass projection screen.
Screen Rotation: Rotate the projection screen to a suitable viewing orientation.
Higher Magnification: Select the 10X or 40X objective when appropriate.
Group Demonstration: Explain visible specimen structures to students.
Completion: Return to a lower-power objective and switch off the illumination.
