- Trinocular compound micro provides high magnification for biological use and educational applications. OS Requirements: Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10 (32/64 bit) and Mac OSX (Mac software not provided). Hardware Requirements: Intel Core2 2.8GHz or comparable processor, 2GB RAM, USB 2.0 port..
- Siedentopf trinocular head with interchangeable pairs of 10x widefield and 20x widefield eyepieces with 48 to 75mm inter-pupillary 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.
- Reverse-ed nosepiece with 4x, 10x, 40xS (spring), and 100xS (spring, oil) DIN achromatic objectives that provide color correction of magnified images.
- Brightfield and dry darkfield, LED illumination, 1.25 NA Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm for clear examination and light control, and dry darkfield condenser with 0.7 to 0.8 NA.
- Double-layer mechanical stage, with 1.0mm stage divisions, locks 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.
The Am T340B-DK-LED compound binocular micro has
interchangeable pairs of 10x widefield and 20x widefield
eyepieces, a reverse-ed nosepiece with four DIN achromatic
objectives, Brightfield/Darkfield (BF/DF) LED illumination, and a
double-layer mechanical stage. The vertical trinocular port can
be used as a C- or 23mm photo port (camera sold separately).
The Siedentopf binocular head has 48 to 75mm inter-pupillary
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. Bilateral dioptric
adjustment accommodates individual eye-strength differences. The
reverse-ed nosepiece has 4x, 10x, 40xS (spring), and 100xS
(spring, oil) DIN achromatic objectives that combine with the
eyepieces to provide color correction of magnified images. The
40xS objective is spring loaded to prevent slide damage when
focusing. The 100xS spring-loaded oil objective provides
increased resolution over a standard objective. A reverse-ed
nosepiece keeps objectives out of the way to prevent damage, and
to enable more secure slide handling. A compound micro is
used for inspection and dissection of specimens when
two-dimensional images are desired.
The micro has Brightfield/Darkfield (BF/DF) illumination.
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. LED illumination
provides bright, cool light for working with
temperature-sensitive or live specimens. The 1.25 NA Abbe
condenser can be adjusted to control the distance of the light
from the stage and has an iris diaphragm to optimize the a
of light illuminating the specimen. The 0.7 to 0.9 NA darkfield
condenser blocks the central portion of the light path to produce
a darkfield image. 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. Graduated coaxial focus control allows
measurements to be taken. The enamel-coated cast-steel 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.
United manufactures microscopy equipment and accessories
under the brand name Am. The company, founded in 1996, is
headquartered in Irvine, CA.
