Measuring Stand Microscopes with wide fields of view incorporating acrylic bases, high quality optics and a fine focusing mechanism.
The wide field microscopes feature a penlight light source (2 AA batteries required - not supplied) to provide illumination in low light areas.
A smooth helicoid fine focusing mechanism, similar to that used in photographic lenses enables the microscopes to be used with ease in high magnifying power operations.
Six microscopes are available with magnifying powers of 20x, 40x, 60x, 100x, 150x and 200x.
These microscopes are able to measure both the width, length and the depth of a viewed item.
Width is measured using the easily interchangeable glass measuring reticles which mount inside the microscope. The microscopes may also be used without the measuring reticle. The reticle projects a measuring scale on top of the item being viewed. Simply measure like a ruler with graduations as small as one tenth of one thousandth of an inch (0.0001").
Both inch and metric (mm) style reticles are available, see the order table above for exact graduations and fields of view.
Depth is measured in 0.1mm increments on the graduated focusing ring. Focus on the top of the object to be measured and note the reading on the graduated focusing ring. Focus on the bottom of the object to be measured and again note the reading on the graduated focusing ring. Subtract these two readings to give the depth in 0.1mm increments.
The clear acrylic base of the microscopes allows the work piece to receive light from all directions and the rubber eyepiece provides for comfortable use.
The acrylic base of the microscopes is 'cut out' to enable a viewed item to be manipulated.
The bodies are of quality aluminum construction.
The overall size of the microscopes is 63mm (2.480") x 172mm (6.772") and the weight is 316gm (11.1oz.).
All microscopes are supplied in a rigid vinyl storage and carrying case.
All microscopes are supplied without a measuring reticle, order only the reticles you need. Please note that reticles are only interchangeable between microscopes of the same magnifying power.
