MAGUS Bio VD300 LCD Biological Inverted Digital Microscope

MAGUS Bio VD300 LCD is a biological microscope of an inverted design for studying samples in laboratory ware up to 70 mm high and with a bottom thickness up to 1.2 mm. The objects of study can be colonies of cells, tissue cultures, biological fluids, etc. The samples do not require mandatory pre-staining. The observations are made in transmitted light. Microscopy techniques: brightfield and phase contrast. The microscope is suitable for routine and research work, and teaching.

Digital camera

The MAGUS CHD30 digital camera is equipped with a 2MP sensor and produces realistic Full HD images at a resolution of 1920x1080px. The camera features high light sensitivity, auto focus function, and it is suitable for fluorescent observations. The camera uses an HDMI interface to connect directly to a TV, monitor, or projector. In this mode, the camera operates autonomously without a connection to a PC. The HDMI interface provides a high and stable transfer rate from the camera to the external screen. You can connect it to a PC via Wi-Fi. Video is recorded at 60fps or 25fps depending on the video output interface. The camera combines high FPS and high bandwidth HDMI. Therefore, videos are vivid with no freezes or gaps between frames. At maximum resolution, the image is well-detailed, moving objects are visible without bugs, and object movement is displayed without delays.

Monitor

MAGUS MCD monitors work in combination with MAGUS CHD cameras to form a complete imaging system for MAGUS microscopes.
The connection to the camera occurs via its HDMI interface. The monitor displays real-time images. Its IPS LCD display has a wide viewing angle, high brightness, and good contrast. When looking at the screen even from a large angle, the image is not distorted. The screen size is 13.3''.
The monitor can be installed on a horizontal surface using a folding stand or mounted directly on a camera or tripod.

Optics

The microscope is equipped with a classic trinocular head, the trinocular tube is used for mounting a digital camera. The camera is not included in the set. The beam splitting is 50/50. Four included or additional objectives can be mounted in the revolving nosepiece. All objectives are designed to be used with laboratory ware and have a long working distance. There are 3 plan achromatic objectives for brightfield and 1 plan achromatic objective for the phase contrast technique.

Illumination

The transmitted light source is a 9W LED. The high power of the LED makes the illumination of the working area bright enough to work with all objectives and with any microscopy technique. The brightness adjustment does not change the color temperature. The LED lifetime is about 50,000 hours without LED replacement. The condenser has a slot for a phase contrast slider (included). The phase contrast rings can be centered. The installation of the slider saves time when switching between the microscopy techniques.

Stage and focusing mechanism

Fixed mechanical stage. It is equipped with a dish holder (three dish holders of different sizes are included). The dishes can be moved along the X and Y axes by a mechanical attachment. The coaxial coarse and fine focusing mechanism provides accurate and fast focusing. The coarse focusing has a lock mechanism and tension adjustment.

Accessories

The optional accessories line includes phase objectives, eyepieces, digital cameras, and calibration slides.
