Microscope AFL Plan 50, HBO 50W, bino, fluo, 100x - 1000x

This refers to the magnification factor of a single microscope lens. A lens with the number 40 is referred to as a scale of 1:40 or simply a factor of 40 times. If you multiply the lens factor by the eyepiece factor, you get the magnification.

A condenser serves to ensure a uniform homogeneous illumination of the object. The Abbe condenser consists of a lens system and an adjustable diaphragm. With it, you can set the optimal contrast for the object.

The upper element of a microscope. An eyepiece consists of several lenses and is used for visually observing the object. In microscopy, the magnification power is expressed as -x.

The object or specimen slide is positioned and centred on this.

The cross table has a clamping device for the specimen holder. The object can be precisely centred over two axes with fine adjustments.

The modular system for demanding microscopy.
