Stereomicroscope MAGUS Stereo 8B

MAGUS Stereo 8B is a binocular stereo microscope with a rotating head. With its help, you will be able to work with three-dimensional samples: the microscope forms a three-dimensional image with a large depth of field and transmits an authentic image of the object. This allows for convenient manipulation of the object. The Greenough microscope with independent optical channels has a stereoscopic angle of 15°, and its working area ranges from 105mm (basic configuration) to 177mm (optional). Basic working methods on the device with transmitted and reflected light (brightfield) can be supplemented with darkfield and simple polarization methods using accessories.

The microscope head includes two tubes and is complemented by eyepieces with 10x magnification and a 22mm field of view. A digital camera can be mounted in one of the tubes instead of the eyepiece. The head rotates around its axis and can be set in any position.

The main magnification is provided by the zoom objective. Together with the smooth zoom, it adjusts the focal length of the optical system so that the focus is always on the object. The MAGUS Stereo 8B microscope has a zoom ratio of 8.4:1. You can modify the magnification or field of view, as well as adjust the working distance, using auxiliary objective lenses.

Sharpness is adjusted using coaxially located knobs; there is coarse and fine adjustment. Fine focusing is recommended for magnifications above 40x. The knobs are located on the sides of the stand. The user can adjust the stiffness of the coarse focusing travel.

The microscope can be used to observe transparent and opaque samples. For this purpose, the stage is equipped with two plates: transparent and black-and-white. The first is necessary when working with transmitted light: the object receives soft and uniform illumination. The second plate is installed when working with reflected light. Its surface should contrast with that of the object.

The object is illuminated by two LED illuminators, transmitted and reflected light. Both have a power of 3W and a service life of 50,000 hours.

This line of microscopes is complemented by a wide range of accessories. The user can purchase the necessary eyepieces and auxiliary objective lenses to adjust the magnification, field of view, and working distance. Complement the set with a digital camera to capture your observations or display them on a large screen. Together with a camera or an eyepiece with a scale, a calibration slide can help you measure a sample or its individual elements. To effectively examine a sample, there are several types of illuminators: a classic ring illuminator, a ring illuminator with a polarizer for studying smooth metallic objects (eliminates glare), a ring illuminator with sector control to adjust the correct incidence of light and shadows, and a “gooseneck” illuminator that can be aimed at a specific spot. To install the microscope head in the optimal position, you can select a suitable stand. Placing an object on the mechanical stage allows it to be moved smoothly and fluidly along two axes. To carry out work in darkfield or with polarized light, the microscope can be equipped with a darkfield condenser or a polarizing device. If the condenser is used with a gem clamp, the stereo microscope becomes an excellent tool for jewelry work.
