MAGUS Bio VD300 Biological Inverted Digital Microscope

MAGUS Bio VD300 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 CDF30 digital camera is designed for the brightfield and darkfield microscopy technique. It offers a low noise level and high light sensitivity. The camera is equipped with an 8.3MP sensor and delivers realistic images in 4K resolution (3840x2160pix) with the clearly visible fine details of samples and their structures. It is recommended to use the camera with 4x, 10x, and 20x objectives as well as with a stereomicroscope. At maximum resolution, video is captured at 45fps. This is enough for classroom demonstrations, focus adjustment, recording fast-moving processes, and observing moving samples. At Full HD resolution (1920x1080pix), the rate increases to 70fps, and so the transitions between frames become softer and the camera can catch the slightest movement of the sample. The camera is equipped with a USB 3.0 interface. The data transfer speed is 10 times faster than USB 2.0 cameras. The high-speed camera is recommended for professional laboratories, research, or university training.

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.

Key features of the microscope:

• Brightfield and phase contrast microscopy techniques in the transmitted light; studying samples in laboratory ware
• Digital camera is mounted in the trinocular tube

Key features of the camera:

• 4K camera for brightfield and darkfield microscopy observations with 4x, 10x, and 20x objectives as well as stereomicroscope: The higher the resolution is, the finer the details will be that you can see.
• 45fps at 4K resolution, 70fps at Full HD resolution: easy focus adjustment, classroom demonstrations, observation of moving samples, and video recording - the movement of the sample can be seen without jerkiness and lags.
• SONY Exmor backlit color CMOS sensor provides a low noise level and high light sensitivity even in low-light conditions. You will get clearer, brighter, and more color-saturated images.
• USB 3.0 interface for fast, smooth data transfer
• Software with photo, video recording, editing, external display, and linear and angular measurements
