The OMAX MD8211S30 adds modern ergonomics to a time-tested design. Fundamental functionality is upgraded with Siedentopf ocular-adjustment, easy-grip coaxial focusing, and a reversed lens-turret for superior space-management. LED illumination provides daylight-balanced light, ideal for digital-imaging using the 3-megapixel integrated camera.

The MD8211 series microscope uses a binocular viewing head. To customize the microscope to your viewing comfort, the eyepiece spacing can be easily adjusted using a precision Siedentopf mechanism. A diopter is available on the left ocular tube to compensate for asymmetry, 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, additional 20X eyepieces extend the maximum magnification to 2000X, and provides 8 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. Variable-intensity LED lighting offers bright, daylight-balanced illumination to produce high-contrast, color-correct images.

100 blank slides and cover slips are included to get things started. These pre-cleaned slides can be used for dry-mount or wet-mount with the included cover slips. Lens tissues are provided for cleanup.
