- Trinocular compound micro provides high magnification for biological use and educational applications.
- Trinocular viewing head with vertical camera and Siedentopf binocular with pairs of 10x widefield and 20x widefield eyepieces with 55 to 75mm interpupillary adjustment, fixed 30-degree vertical inclination to reduce eye and neck strain, and 360-degree rotation capability to provide a more comprehensive view and enable sharing.
- Forward-facing nosepiece with 4x, 10x, 40xS (spring), and 100xS (spring, oil) DIN achromatic high-contrast precision-ground optical-glass objectives that provide color correction of magnified images, and anti-mold surfaces to preserve optics in high-humidity areas.
- Brightfield/Darkfield, halogen illumination with rheostat to control light intensity, and 1.25 NA Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm, swing-out filter holder, and rack-and-pinion focus control for precise focus, clear examination, and light control.
- Double-layer mechanical stage with 1mm stage divisions and stage stop; graduated coarse and fine focus with tension control to prevent stage drift.
The Am T580B-DK compound trinocular micro has a
Siedentopf binocular with interchangeable pairs of 10x
widefield and 20x widefield eyepieces, a forward-facing nosepiece
with four DIN achromatic high-contrast objectives,
Brightfield/Darkfield halogen illumination, a double-layer
mechanical stage with a stage stop to protect slides and
objectives from damage, and anti-mold surfaces to preserve optics
in high-humidity areas. The trinocular head has a vertical camera
and a Siedentopf binocular with interchangeable pairs
of WF10x and WF20x eyepieces with 55 to 75mm Siedentopf
interpupillary adjustment, a fixed 30-degree vertical inclination
to reduce eye and neck strain, and a 360-degree rotation
capability to provide a more comprehensive view and enable
sharing. Dioptric adjustment accommodates individual eye-strength
differences. The vertical trinocular port accepts a camera with a
23mm or C- adapter (camera sold separately). The
forward-facing revolving nosepiece has 4x, 10x, and 40xS, and
100xS (oil) DIN achromatic high-contrast objectives that provide
color correction of magnified images. High-contrast objectives
provide sharp color distinction. The 40xS objective is spring
loaded to prevent slide damage when focusing. The 100xS
spring-loaded oil-immersion objective uses oil between the
specimen and the objective lens to provide increased resolution
over a standard objective. A compound micro is used for
inspection and dissection of specimens when two-dimensional
images are desired.
The micro has lower (transmitted, diascopic)
Brightfield/Darkfield (BF/DF) illumination that transmits light
up through the specimen for enhanced visibility of translucent
and transparent objects. Brightfield (BF) illumination allows the
specimen to absorb light, resulting in a dark image on a light
background, and Darkfield (DF) illumination reflects light off
the specimen, resulting in a light image on a dark background.
The dry darkfield condenser has a 0.7-0.8 NA. Halogen
illumination provides bright light in a concentrated path. The
1.25 NA Abbe condenser is ed on a rack-and-pinion control
system, can be adjusted to control the distance of the light from
the stage, has a swing-out color filter holder, and has an iris
diaphragm to optimize the a of light illuminating the
specimen. The double-layer mechanical stage, with 1mm stage
divisions, locks the slide into place and provides precise slide
manipulation along the X- and Y-axis to allow coordinates to be
recorded, enabling the viewer to return to a specific location on
the slide. A stage stop prevents the stage from coming into
contact with the slide and objectives. The stage is 5-1/2 x
5-3/16 inches (140 x 132mm) and has a traveling range of 2-15/16
x 2 inches (75 x 50mm). Graduated coaxial coarse and fine focus
has a focusing range of 1-1/8" (28mm) and fine-focus divisions of
0.002mm (0.0000787") that enable measurements to be taken. Focus
knob tension control prevents the stage from drifting out of
focus. The cast-alloy enamel-coated body is durable and resistant
to stains and corrosion.

Micros are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an
object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital.
Compound micros use a compound optical system with an
objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo micros show object
depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital micros are used
to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a
lens. Micros can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or
trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification
abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image.
Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity
of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV),
numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines
resolution. Micros can control magnification through a fixed
focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize
LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control
viewing capabilities. Micros are widely used in education,
lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry,
manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and
veterinary industries.
