Working Principle
The Research Trinocular Microscope Max Series KCX-130 operates on the principle of transmitted-light compound microscopy.
Light from the built-in 5W LED illumination system is directed toward the prepared specimen.
The Köhler illumination arrangement allows the illumination to be adjusted for controlled specimen lighting.
Light passing through the specimen enters the selected objective lens.
The infinity-corrected optical system produces a magnified image through its compatible objective and tube-lens arrangement.
The image is viewed through the WF10X wide-field eyepieces.
The trinocular observation head provides an additional optical pathway for compatible digital imaging equipment.
Different objective magnifications can be selected using the quintuple revolving nosepiece.
The coaxial focusing controls allow adjustment of image sharpness.
The rackless mechanical stage supports controlled movement of the specimen during observation.
The 100X oil immersion objective is used with suitable immersion oil for appropriate high-magnification examination.
