Working Principle

The Student Compound Microscope KCX-101 operates on the principle of transmitted-light compound microscopy.

Light from the LED illumination system passes through a suitable transparent specimen positioned on the microscope stage.

The selected objective lens forms a magnified intermediate image.

The WF10X eyepiece further magnifies the image for direct observation.

The microscope includes 10X and 40X achromatic objectives.

The triple revolving nosepiece allows selection of the required objective.

The coarse focusing control provides initial image adjustment.

The fine focusing control is used to improve image sharpness.

The observer examines the magnified specimen through the monocular eyepiece.

This optical arrangement supports practical biology education and introductory scientific observation.

Basic Observation Procedure

  1. Microscope Setup: Place the KCX-101 on a stable laboratory table.

  2. Power Connection: Connect or activate the LED illumination according to the supplied power configuration.

  3. Specimen Selection: Choose a suitable prepared educational slide.

  4. Slide Placement: Position the slide on the fixed stage.

  5. Slide Securing: Use the stage clips to hold the slide.

  6. Illumination: Switch on the LED illumination.

  7. Objective Selection: Begin with the 10X objective.

  8. Initial Focusing: Use coarse focusing to locate the specimen.

  9. Fine Focusing: Adjust the fine focusing control for clarity.

  10. Specimen Examination: Observe the visible structures.

  11. Higher Magnification: Select the 40X objective if required.

  12. Focus Adjustment: Refine focus carefully at higher magnification.

  13. Observation Recording: Note or sketch the specimen characteristics.

  14. Completion: Switch off the illumination.

  15. Storage: Remove the slide and store the microscope in a clean, dry location.

Magnification System

The KCX-101 features a WF10X eyepiece and achromatic 10X and 40X objectives.

Total Magnification = Eyepiece Magnification × Objective Magnification

ObjectiveEyepieceTotal Magnification
10X10X100X
40X10X400X

Calculated magnification settings: 100X and 400X.

The reference states magnification up to 100X, but the listed 40X objective would produce 400X nominal magnification with the WF10X eyepiece.

The exact supplied configuration should be confirmed before publication of a formal technical catalogue.
