The Travelling Microscope KCX-182 is designed to measure small distances and displacements using optical magnification and calibrated mechanical movement.

The microscope allows the optical system to travel horizontally and vertically.

The horizontal travel range is specified as 22 cm.

The vertical travel range is specified as 15 cm.

The eyepiece includes a crosshair for aligning the microscope with a selected measurement point.

The 2X achromatic objective magnifies the observed target.

Typical Experiments and Measurements

Working Principle

The Travelling Microscope KCX-182 operates on the principle of optical magnification combined with calibrated linear displacement measurement.

The microscope consists of an optical system mounted on horizontal and vertical travelling slides.

The optical system includes a 2X achromatic objective and a 10X eyepiece with crosshair.

The objective produces a magnified image of the target.

The eyepiece allows the observer to view the image and crosshair.

The microscope is moved until the crosshair aligns with the required reference point.

The corresponding vernier scale reading is recorded.

The microscope is then moved to a second reference point.

A second vernier reading is recorded.

The difference between the two readings gives the measured displacement along the selected axis.

Measurement Formula

Measured Displacement = Final Vernier Reading − Initial Vernier Reading

For a positive distance, use the absolute difference:

[
d=|R_2-R_1|
]

Where:

• (d) = measured displacement

• (R_1) = initial scale reading

• (R_2) = final scale reading

10. Microscope Movement: Move the microscope along the required measuring axis.

11. Second Alignment: Align the crosshair with the second reference point.

12. Fine Positioning: Use slow-motion adjustment for accurate alignment.

13. Second Reading: Record the second scale reading.

14. Displacement Calculation: Calculate the difference between the readings.

15. Repeat Measurement: Repeat the measurement to assess consistency.

16. Record Results: Enter the measurements in the laboratory observation table.

Total Magnification = Objective Magnification × Eyepiece Magnification

The microscope is primarily a measuring instrument. Its principal function is precise crosshair alignment and displacement measurement rather than high-magnification biological examination.
