Designed primarily for educational use, the D130 offers dual monocular viewing ports which can be used by two simultaneous users or a single user and a camera. This model also uses a quadruple lens turret for four magnification settings, and a dual-layer mechanical stage for precise control over specimen movement. As a dual-user microscope in a classroom, a teacher can see what the student sees. This allows the student to be instructed while viewing a specimen. By using an optional camera on the second port, real-time video can be streamed to a computer and recorded, or used with popular video conferencing apps to provide remote streaming. This functionality is perfect for remote learning and professionals who need to share video with online peers.
The dual monocular head is somewhat unique, providing two viewing ports which can be used simultaneously. The main viewing port uses a simple design, requiring no adjustment. Simply use the standard 10X eyepiece or any other optional magnification and get to work. The second port is designed for a second user or a camera, and has height adjustment to ensure the focus matches the main port. The head can swivel 360° depending on your preferred working position.
The objective turret provides instant access to 4 magnification levels to easily focus in on minute details from 40X to 1000X. This covers magnifications needed for studying hair follicles, cells, and bacteria. The turret's reversed orientation provides more working room above the stage. These high-quality lenses are achromatically corrected to improve resolution and color accuracy.
The 2-layer mechanical stage provides smooth and precise movement for examination of specimen slides. The stage's low-position controls are conveniently placed near the coaxial focus knobs for a streamlined workflow. Examining specimen slides is intuitive and precise for users at any skill level.
The LED sub-stage lighting provides cool, energy-efficient illumination. The light-source is daylight balanced to produce natural colors for imaging, and its low heat emission has less impact on live cells and other heat-sensitive specimens. The height-adjustable Abbe light-condenser offers control over contrast and depth-of-focus.
