Product Description
This is a brand new, factory sealed, Variscope Series 8621 microscope. The Variscope microscope family of optical instruments is made by one of the largest "private label" optical component fabricators in the world. Included with the quadruple nosepiece are four achromatic multi-coated objective lenses that display a true-color image. You get 4x, 10x, spring loaded 40x, and spring loaded oil immersion 100x objectives included with this microscope. For viewing, we provide two sets of eyepieces: a pair of premium grade wide-field 10x (18mm) eyepieces and a second set of 20x eyepieces. This allows for magnification ranges of 40x, 80x, 100x, 200x, 400x, 800x, 1000x, and 2000x. Ergonomic features include an advanced Seidentopf-type microscope head to provide maximum comfort in adjusting interpuplillary distance. The microscope head swivels 360 degrees and sits at a 30 degree incline. The eyepieces have diopter focusing adjustments. The independent coarse and fine focusing knobs are on both the right and left side of the instrument. Unlike cheap models with simple slide clips, this microscope has a 115mm x 125mm stage with a fully mechanical X-Y axis slide holder so slides can be moved on the stage with fine precision, no fumbling the slide under clips. There is a graduated scale printed on the slide holder to allow you to maintain a record of the location of various structures on a particular slide. This microscope has a built-in 20 watt halogen bulb, with adjustable intensity light controls. Beware of cheaper models that use a tungsten bulb or have a simple on/off switch with no brightness controls. The microscope has a built-in spiral-type N.A. 1.25 Abbe condenser under the stage with an iris diaphragm. This advanced condenser gives you incredible control over the amount and focal length of light aimed at your specimen and is critical for high-powered magnification viewing. A swing-out filter holder is included as are a set of blue and green viewing filters.

40x-2000x Binocular Biological Compound Microscope Reviews

We have some general experience in the use of microscopes and found that the Variscope microscope met, and in many cases, exceeded our expectations. Without getting into a technical review, the overall finish, design, and function of the scope was definitely that of scopes that easily cost 4 times more. We would definitely recommend this scope to anyone needing a compound, binocular scope for general use, or for anyone interested in buying a scope for fun use. A couple of shortcomings exist with the purchase of the scope, but none of them detract from the quality of the scope itself. First, the instruction sheet supplied with the scope was VERY lacking in information, and almost appeared to have been a literal translation from another language, making it awkward to read at times. The addition of general pointers in the setup and use of the scope and its accessories would be very handy, especially for those who might...

Wonderful microscope, but one of the eyepieces was incorrectly machined and we had to send it back. After a little hassle, we got a new one and the green group llc did upgrade us and paid for back shipping, but the entire process took about 1.5 months. This is a professional unit that does oil immersion scoping. I am impressed with the quality. It does come unassembled and there is no instructions on putting it together but the average Joe can figure it out. There is no included case for it, only a thin plastic cover. Glad I got it, but could have done without me being the one stuck with the lemon. But that's the way it goes! |
