Working Principle

The Stereo Zoom Microscope KCX-186 operates on the principle of stereoscopic optical microscopy.

A stereoscopic microscope provides separate optical viewing paths for the observer's left and right eyes.

Each eye receives a slightly different view of the specimen.

The observer's visual system combines these views to produce depth perception.

The microscope incorporates interchangeable objectives for selecting magnification.

The 2X objective provides nominal 20X magnification with the WF10X eyepieces.

The 4X objective provides nominal 40X magnification with the WF10X eyepieces.

The rack-and-pinion focusing mechanism allows adjustment of the optical body relative to the specimen.

The reflected LED illumination system directs light onto the surface of opaque objects.

The transmitted LED illumination system directs light through suitable transparent specimens.

The stage plate supports specimen positioning.

This arrangement allows observation of small objects, surfaces and structures in three dimensions.

Basic Observation Procedure

  9. Specimen Examination: Observe the visible surface or structural features.

  10. Higher Magnification: Select the higher-power objective when required.

  11. Lighting Adjustment: Change the illumination mode according to the specimen.

  12. Observation Recording: Record relevant specimen characteristics.

  13. Completion: Switch off the illumination system.

  14. Storage: Remove the specimen and store the microscope correctly.
