Working Principle
The Research Microscope Max Series KCX-129 operates on the principle of transmitted-light compound microscopy.
Light from the 3W LED illumination system is directed through the condenser toward the specimen.
The Köhler illumination arrangement allows the illumination to be adjusted for controlled specimen lighting.
The specimen is positioned on the double-layer mechanical stage.
Light passing through the specimen enters the selected objective lens.
The objective produces a magnified intermediate image within the infinity-corrected optical system.
The microscope's tube-lens arrangement forms the image that is viewed through the PL10X eyepieces.
Different objective magnifications can be selected using the backward quintuple revolving nosepiece.
The coaxial coarse and fine focusing controls are used to obtain a sharp specimen image.
The mechanical stage allows controlled movement of the slide during examination.
The 100X oil immersion objective is used with appropriate immersion oil and suitable prepared specimens.
This optical arrangement supports detailed biological microscopy across the supplied magnification range.
