Description

The MAGUS Bio VD300 is a state-of-the-art biological inverted microscope designed for studying samples in laboratory ware up to 70mm high with a bottom thickness up to 1.2mm. Ideal for observing colonies of cells, tissue cultures, and biological fluids, this microscope allows for sample analysis without mandatory pre-staining. Utilizing brightfield and phase contrast microscopy techniques in transmitted light, the MAGUS Bio VD300 is perfect for routine laboratory work, advanced research, and educational purposes.

Digital Camera

The MAGUS Bio VD300 features a video eyepiece with a SONY Exmor 8.3MP digital sensor. This advanced sensor uses back-illumination technology, enhancing light sensitivity to produce bright, clear images even in low light conditions. Suitable for both darkfield and brightfield microscopy techniques, the camera supports objectives with magnifications of 4x, 10x, and 20x, and can also be used with stereomicroscopes. It connects to a computer via a high-speed USB3.0 port, ensuring fast data transfer (5Gbps) and clear image display.

The MAGUS CDF30 camera can be installed in either the trinocular tube or the eyepiece tube of the microscope. For optimal performance, an adapter with magnification ranging from 0.65x to 0.9x is recommended. The camera outputs images with a maximum resolution of 3840x2160px at 45fps and 1920x1080px at 70fps, ensuring smooth video transitions without delays, perfect for studying and presenting moving objects. Photos and videos can be recorded and saved in various formats.

Optics

Equipped with a classic trinocular head, the MAGUS Bio VD300 allows for digital camera mounting via the trinocular tube. The beam splitting is 50/50. The revolving nosepiece accommodates four objectives, including three plan achromatic objectives for brightfield and one for phase contrast, all designed for use with laboratory ware and featuring long working distances.

Illumination

A powerful 9W LED serves as the transmitted light source, providing bright illumination suitable for all objectives and microscopy techniques. The brightness is adjustable without altering the color temperature, and the LED has an impressive lifespan of approximately 50,000 hours, eliminating the need for frequent replacements.

The microscope’s condenser includes a slot for a phase contrast slider, allowing for easy switching between microscopy techniques. The phase contrast rings can be centered, enhancing the convenience of the setup.

Stage and Focusing Mechanism

The fixed mechanical stage comes with three dish holders of varying sizes. Samples can be moved along the X and Y axes using a mechanical attachment. The coaxial coarse and fine focusing mechanism ensures precise and quick adjustments, with the coarse focusing mechanism featuring a lock and tension adjustment.

Accessories

Optional accessories for the MAGUS Bio VD300 include phase objectives, additional eyepieces, digital cameras, and calibration slides, allowing for enhanced functionality and expanded research capabilities.
