The Levenhuk Discovery Femto Polar is a classic monocular microscope that makes It is possible to examine the microcosm in both reflected and transmitted light, with a magnification between 40x and 400x. It is able to show the cellular structure of plants and insects, life in a drop of water, protozoa and much more. This microscope is an excellent assistant for teachers who want to conduct simple biology experiments directly in the classroom. Additionally, a book full of information about the microcosm is included. Its reading makes the experiments even more interesting and varied.
The achromatic optics allow you to view the samples clearly and in detail. The nosepiece of the instrument is equipped with three objectives: 4x, 10x and 40x with spring. The wide-field eyepiece offers a clear view at 10x. The monocular head has an ergonomic inclination of 45°, thus making prolonged observations more comfortable. In addition, the head rotates 360 around the vertical axis, which is optimal for group experiments. The microscope does not need to be moved to share image observation with a research partner, as the head can be rotated as needed. The instrument is equipped with separate knobs for macro and fine focusing, thus making it possible to smoothly adjust the resolution.
The illumination system is composed of LED lights positioned above and below the coffee table and equipped with brightness adjustment. The bottom light is modulated by a disc diaphragm, which helps control its brightness. The instrument is powered by batteries (not included) or by mains (AC adapter included). The stage is equipped with clips for attaching slides.
The book entitled “Invisible World” is a fascinating addition to the microscope. Illustrates the microcosm and various scientific experiments. It is written in easily understandable language and contains brightly colored illustrations. There are historical facts about the birth of microscopy and theoretical explanations about microorganisms, as well as experiments that you can reproduce right at home using the Levenhuk Discovery Femto Polar microscope.
