The Master Science Binocular Biological Microscope is a compound microscope for routine slide work in teaching, clinical and research laboratories. Its Siedentopf binocular head is inclined at 30° and adjusts for interpupillary distances from 55 to 75 mm, so users of different heights can view comfortably.
Standard achromatic objectives cover 4X to 100X, giving 40X to 1000X total magnification with WF10X eyepieces. A 3 W LED with adjustable brightness lights the specimen through an Abbe NA1.25 condenser.
