The Am M160C-2L-PB10-E2 digital monocular compound
micro has interchangeable 10x and 25x widefield eyepieces, a
forward-facing nosepiece with three DIN achromatic objectives,
upper LED and rheostat-controlled lower LED illumination, coaxial
coarse and fine focus, a 0.65 NA single-lens condenser, and a
plain stage. The 2MP camera has a CMOS color sensor, image
capture and editing software, and USB 2.0 output to capture or
display still or video images on a computer or projector. The
forward-facing revolving nosepiece has 4x, 10x, and 40x DIN
achromatic full-glass objectives that provide high-resolution
color-corrected images. The monocular viewing head has one 10x
widefield eyepiece on a fixed 45-degree vertical inclination to
reduce eye and neck strain and 360-degree rotation capability to
provide a more comprehensive view and enable sharing. A digital
compound micro is used for inspection and dissection of
specimens when two-dimensional images are desired, and where
image capture, detailed records, or documentation is required.
The 2MP digital camera has a CMOS color sensor for displaying
still microscopy images and streaming live videos to a computer
or projector, and 40x magnification. The camera can be ed in
any 23mm eye tube. The camera includes image capture and editing
software that provides still image and live video capture and
editing capability, including measurement functions. The software
supports JPG, TIF, GIF, PSD, WMF, and BMP file formats and is
compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8; Mac OS X; and Linux.
Camera drivers are compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8;
Mac OS X; and Linux. The software includes Windows APIs for
native C/C++, C#, DirectShow, Twain, and LabVIEW that enable
custom application development. The camera has a USB 2.0 data
port (cable included).
The micro has upper (episcopic) incidental illumination that
reflects light off the specimen for enhanced visibility of opaque
specimens, and lower (diascopic) Brightfield illumination that
transmits light up through the specimen for enhanced visibility
of translucent and transparent objects. Brightfield (BF)
illumination allows the specimen to absorb light, resulting in a
dark image on a light background. LED illumination provides
bright, cool light for working with temperature-sensitive or live
specimens. Rheostat control capability allows the viewer to
control light intensity. The 0.65 NA single-lens condenser and
disc diaphragm control the a of light illuminating the
specimen. The plain stage is 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 inches and has an
opening for light transmission and stage clips to secure the
slide or specimen in place while viewing. A stage stop prevents
the stage or specimen from coming into contact with the
objectives. Coaxial coarse and fine focus knobs are nested to
speed focusing for left-and right-handed viewers. All mechanical
components are constructed of metal for precision and durability,
and the solid-metal frame has a stain-resistant enamel finish.
The built-in handle and arched base enables students to transport
micros safely and securely. The micro is powered by a
110VAC adapter (included) or by three AA batteries (included) for
field use. The micro includes five blank and five prepared
slides.

Micros are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an
object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital.
Compound micros use a compound optical system with an
objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo micros show object
depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital micros are used
to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a
lens. Micros can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or
trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification
abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image.
Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity
of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV),
numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines
resolution. Micros can control magnification through a fixed
focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize
LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control
viewing capabilities. Micros are widely used in education,
lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry,
manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and
veterinary industries.
