Working Principle
The Trinocular Microscope KCX-140 operates using transmitted-light compound microscopy and digital imaging.
Light from the LED illumination system passes through a suitable prepared specimen.
The objective lens collects light from the specimen and produces a magnified intermediate image.
The eyepiece magnifies this image for visual observation.
The trinocular viewing head provides an additional optical path for camera-based imaging.
The CMOS camera converts the optical image into digital image data.
The USB interface transfers supported image data to compatible computer equipment.
The coarse focusing mechanism adjusts the microscope for initial specimen observation.
The fine focusing mechanism supports precise adjustment of image sharpness.
The resulting optical and digital images can be used for suitable laboratory observation, teaching and scientific documentation.
