Description
The Laboratory Microscope YG0657 is a high-precision optical instrument designed for scientific research, medical diagnostics, and educational applications. Featuring a Siedentopf trinocular head inclined at 30° with an interpupillary distance of 55-75mm, this advanced laboratory microscope provides ergonomic comfort for prolonged observations. The quadruple revolving nosepiece allows seamless switching between its achromatic 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x objectives, delivering crisp, high-contrast images for a wide range of applications.
With a double-layer mechanical stage (132x142mm, 75x40mm movement range) and coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs with a 24mm focusing range and 0.004mm fine division, users can achieve precise specimen positioning and sharp image clarity. The LED 3W illumination with adjustable brightness ensures consistent lighting conditions, while the Abbe condenser (N.A. 1.25) with an iris diaphragm optimizes contrast and depth of field.
