OMAX Digital Microscopes integrate advanced digital-imaging with precision optical-microscopy. Digital integration promotes uniformity, and presents a simplified method for setting up and using microscopes. A simple USB connection allows you to view real-time images on your PC. The integrated camera can be used for monitoring and recording still images and video. The included Windows software features a wide range of measurement and editing tools, lending itself perfectly to the classroom or clinic with its ability to record, measure, and comment.
OMAX provides a large range of solutions for education, research, and industry. Building on industry standards, we provide a full range of accessories to suit your needs.
The OMAX MD827Z30L brings photomicrography to the classroom or clinic. This hybrid design combines all of the fundamental functionality needed in optical microscopy with 3MP integrated digital imaging.
The MD827 series microscope uses a binocular viewing head. To customize the microscope to your viewing comfort, the eyepiece spacing can be easily adjusted using a simple sliding mechanism. Diopters are available on each ocular tube to fine-tune the eyepieces, and the ocular tubes are angled at 45° to accommodate sitting or standing. Various eyepieces can be used to increase the overall optical magnification without changing the camera's magnification.
The objective turret provides instant access to 4 magnification levels to easily focus in on minute details from 40X to 1000X. For traditional viewing, an additional 20X eyepiece extends the maximum magnification to 2500X, and provides 6 distinct levels of magnification. The high-quality lenses are achromatically corrected to improve resolution and color accuracy.
The 2-layer mechanical stage provides smooth and precise movement for examination of specimen slides. The stage's low-position controls are conveniently placed near the coaxial focus knobs for a streamlined workflow. The LED sub-stage lighting provides cool, energy-efficient illumination. The light-source is daylight balanced to produce natural colors for imaging. Additionally, specialized condensers are available for advanced techniques, such as darkfield and phase-contrast.
A phase-contrast kit is included, with three specialized objective lenses (10X, 40X, 100X) and a modular light condenser. Phase contrast is used to reveal detail in indistinct objects, such as unstained cells and microorganisms that would otherwise appear invisible. By using a combination of the specialized objective lenses and the modified light condenser, these invisible objects can be visualized by manipulating variations in phase.
