The **XD Binocular Microscope** is a high-performance, precision optical instrument designed for advanced educational, clinical, and laboratory applications. Built with robust mechanics and superior optics, this microscope delivers bright, clear, and high-contrast images across a wide magnification range, making it an indispensable tool for detailed specimen analysis.
It features a comfortable **Binocular Head** for extended viewing sessions and a full set of high-quality **Achromatic Objectives (4x, 10x, 40x, 100x Oil)** mounted on a **Quadruple Revolving Nosepiece**. This configuration ensures quick magnification changes and sharp resolution critical for observing cellular structures, bacterial smears, and tissue morphology. The **Mechanical Stage** allows for precise movement of slides for systematic scanning, while the **Coarse & Fine Adjustment** provides ultra-smooth focusing capability.
Illumination is powered by a bright, energy-efficient **LED Lamp**, coupled with a **Sub-stage Condenser (NA 1.25) with an Iris Diaphragm**, which ensures optimal light control and resolution for all magnifications, including oil immersion. The XD Binocular Microscope represents an ideal balance of quality, functionality, and durability, perfect for research centers, university laboratories, and pathology labs across India and globally.
The versatility and high magnification capability of the XD Binocular Microscope make it essential for various fields:
Clinical Pathology: Used extensively in hospitals and diagnostic centers for blood cell counts, urinalysis, identifying parasites, and viewing stained tissue sections (histopathology).
Microbiology: Fundamental for studying bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. The 100x oil immersion objective is crucial for resolving bacterial shapes and staining characteristics like Gram Stains.
Educational Institutions: Ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching labs in Botany, Zoology, Life Sciences, and Biotechnology for detailed study of prepared slides and living cultures.
Water and Environmental Testing: Employed to analyze water samples for plankton, algae, and microscopic pollutants.
The XD Binocular Microscope holds significant importance in advancing scientific understanding and education. Its robust construction ensures long-term reliable use, crucial for institutions across **India** where durability is key.
Enhanced Comfort: The binocular head reduces eye strain compared to monocular models, allowing researchers and students to perform long hours of critical observation without fatigue.
Precision Optics: The NA 1.25 Condenser and calibrated focusing mechanisms ensure that fine cellular details are resolved accurately, supporting crucial research and accurate diagnosis in **Maharashtra, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka** labs.
Cost-Effective Quality: It provides research-grade features and image quality at an accessible price point, democratizing access to high-end microscopy technology for institutions and students worldwide.
1. What is the maximum magnification of the XD Binocular Microscope?
The maximum total magnification is **1000x**, achieved by combining the WF 10x Eyepieces with the 100x Oil Immersion Objective.
2. Is the LED illumination adjustable?
Yes, the LED Lamp illumination level is adjustable, and its output is finely controlled by the Sub-stage Condenser's Iris Diaphragm for optimal contrast.
3. What is the purpose of the 100x (Oil) Objective?
The 100x objective requires immersion oil to achieve maximum resolution and clarity, which is essential for viewing extremely small specimens like bacteria and fine cellular details.
4. Can this microscope be used for phase contrast microscopy?
While the standard XD model is brightfield, it can typically be upgraded by adding an optional phase contrast kit, which utilizes the existing NA 1.25 condenser slot.
5. Is the focusing mechanism suitable for precise work?
Absolutely. It features separate Coarse and Fine Adjustment knobs, allowing users to rapidly find focus (coarse) and then achieve critically sharp detail (fine).
