Description

The Biological Microscope YG0658-M // YG0658-T is a versatile and high-precision optical instrument designed to meet the needs of educational institutions, research laboratories, and clinical diagnostics. Featuring monocular, binocular, trinocular, and teaching head options, this microscope allows for customized configurations based on specific application requirements. The Seidentopf head design ensures optimal comfort, with an interpupillary adjustment range of 54-75mm and 360° rotatable functionality for enhanced usability.

Equipped with an achromatic optical system, the YG0658 series delivers crisp and distortion-free imaging across a magnification range of 40x to 1000x. The quadruple nosepiece with click-stop mechanism ensures smooth transitions between objectives (4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x oil immersion). Additionally, the double-layer mechanical stage (142x132mm, moving range 75x50mm) provides precise slide manipulation, while the Abbe condenser (N.A.1.25) with a high-brightness 3W LED light source enhances contrast for superior image clarity.

Market Price

The Biological Microscope YG0658-M // YG0658-T falls within a price range of $384 to $481 USD, depending on the selected configuration, optical enhancements, and optional accessories such as phase contrast kits, polarization attachments, and dark-field condensers.
