Description
MAGUS Bio VD350 Biological Inverted Digital Microscope
The MAGUS Bio VD350 is a high-performance biological inverted microscope, perfect for examining both stained and unstained samples in laboratory containers such as Petri dishes, flasks, and plates. It accommodates dishes up to 55mm in height, and with the illuminator stand tilted, it can handle dishes up to 165mm high. The microscope supports containers with a bottom thickness of up to 1.2mm. Utilizing both brightfield and phase contrast microscopy techniques in transmitted light, this microscope is ideal for routine laboratory research, teaching, and various scientific applications. It features a trinocular tube and side port for mounting digital cameras and monitors, enhancing its versatility.
Digital Camera
The MAGUS CDF30 digital camera features a SONY Exmor 8.3MP sensor with back-illumination technology, ensuring high light sensitivity and producing bright, clear images even in low-light conditions. This camera is suitable for both darkfield and brightfield microscopy techniques using 4x, 10x, and 20x objectives, and is also compatible with stereomicroscopes. It connects to a computer via a high-speed USB3.0 port, which supports data transfer rates up to 5Gbps, enabling seamless image display on the screen.
The camera can be installed in the trinocular tube or eyepiece tube of the microscope. For the best field of view without optical defects, use an adapter with a magnification between 0.65x and 0.9x. Additional adapters are needed for eyepiece tube installation.
The camera delivers images at a maximum resolution of 3840x2160px with a frame rate of 45fps. At a lower resolution of 1920x1080px, the frame rate increases to 70fps, ensuring smooth transitions without delays. This makes it suitable for studying and presenting moving objects. Photos and videos can be recorded and saved in various formats.
Optics
The MAGUS Bio VD350 microscope’s trinocular head can be rotated 180° to adjust the height of the exit pupil. The vertical tube is used to mount a monitor, while the side port on the microscope body is used for mounting a digital camera. Beam splitting on the body is adjustable between 100/0 and 0/100, with options for 50/50 on the trinocular tube when open, or 100/0 when closed.
The microscope includes four infinity plan achromatic objectives, one of which is a phase objective. The revolving nosepiece accommodates four objectives, leaving one slot free for an additional objective.
Illumination
The phase-contrast condenser allows for easy switching between microscopy techniques. It has four working positions: a free aperture for brightfield and 10x, 20x, and 40x apertures for phase contrast with the appropriate magnification objective. The transmitted light source is a 30W halogen bulb with adjustable brightness, powered by an AC supply. The illumination system supports Köhler illumination, enhancing image quality.
Stage and Focusing Mechanism
The microscope comes with four dish holders for the stage, which can be moved along the X and Y axes using a mechanical attachment, while the stage remains stationary. The holders are designed to accommodate various sizes of labware. The focusing mechanism operates smoothly, with a coarse focusing lock knob and tension adjustment. The fine focusing scale value is 2μm, and the focusing knobs are located at the base for ergonomic operation.
Accessories
A wide range of optional accessories, including additional eyepieces, phase objectives, digital cameras, and calibration slides, are available to maximize the capabilities of the MAGUS Bio VD350 microscope.
