It is pre-configured and pre-aligned for plug-and-play operation, saving valuable time and reducing training overhead.

Key Features

• Binocular Head (25° Inclined)
  The microscope’s binocular viewing head is inclined at a 25° angle, ensuring an ergonomic posture for prolonged usage. Interpupillary distance is adjustable, and the viewing tube design helps reduce strain during long microscopy sessions.
• Infinity-Corrected Optical System
  Equipped with Plan Achromat infinity-corrected objectives, the microscope provides excellent flat-field image clarity. It supports a magnification range from 40x to 1000x using the standard 4×, 10×, 40×, and 100× Oil objectives, each delivering superb image quality across the entire field of view.
• Fixed-Köhler Illumination (Pre-aligned)
  ZEISS’s fixed-Köhler illumination system offers bright, even lighting across all magnification levels. This model features a factory-calibrated illumination path, allowing users to achieve optimal lighting without manual adjustments.
• 3W White LED Illumination (5600K)
  The integrated 3W LED provides bright, daylight-balanced illumination (5600K), ensuring true-to-life colors and high visibility. It is energy-efficient and has a lifespan of approximately 30,000 hours, minimizing downtime and maintenance.
• Abbe Condenser 0.9 / 1.25 NA with Iris Diaphragm
  The condenser supports a full range of objectives (up to 100x Oil) and includes a slot for contrast sliders such as phase contrast or darkfield. The iris diaphragm enhances contrast control.
• Mechanical Cross Table Stage (75 × 40 mm)
  The microscope features a rackless mechanical stage with coaxial coarse and fine focus knobs. Smooth and precise XY movement makes specimen navigation easy and accurate, which is essential for both training and lab diagnostics.
• USB Power Support (5V Port)
  The rear-mounted USB port allows powering via portable power banks or for charging mobile devices. This makes it especially useful in mobile setups or classrooms where flexibility is key.
• Illumination Intensity Display
  An onboard LED indicator on the microscope stand lets users and instructors easily monitor and adjust the brightness level, which is ideal for group teaching settings.
• Durable Metal Construction
  The body of the Primostar 3 is made of high-quality metal for maximum durability. It can endure years of daily use in demanding environments without mechanical degradation.
• Ready-to-Use Out of the Box
  All Primostar 3 models, including this configuration, are shipped fully assembled and pre-calibrated. No tools or complex setup procedures are needed—just plug it in and begin your work.
