Working Principle
The Research Trinocular Pro Microscope KCX-131 operates on the principle of transmitted-light compound microscopy.
Light from the built-in 3W LED illumination system passes through the condenser toward the prepared specimen.
The movable Abbe condenser directs light through the specimen.
The iris diaphragm allows adjustment of the illumination aperture.
Light passing through the specimen enters the selected plan achromatic objective.
The finite optical system forms a magnified intermediate image at the optical system's designed image plane.
The image is viewed through the wide-field 10X eyepieces.
The binocular viewing paths allow direct specimen observation.
The trinocular observation port provides an additional optical pathway for compatible digital imaging equipment.
Different objective magnifications can be selected using the forward quadruple revolving nosepiece.
The coaxial focusing controls allow adjustment of image sharpness.
The mechanical stage provides controlled movement of the specimen in the X and Y directions.
This optical arrangement supports biological microscopy across the supplied magnification range.
