About this product
Key Features:
- 40X to 3000X expanded magnification range using high-quality, color-coded objective lenses, and 10X and 30X eyepieces for ten unique settings ideal for viewing cellular structures and microorganisms.
- The MQ8333 is ideal for scalability, with upgrade options including phase-contrast and darkfield.
- Super-widefield optics provide a larger field-of-view so you can see more specimen at any magnification
- The infinity-corrected optical system reduces distortion and improves color accuracy.
- The quintuple lens turret has five plan-achromatic objective lenses that produce high-contrast images with edge-to-edge sharpness.
- The Koehler illumination system provides centered, evenly-distributed lighting with a field aperture for maximum contrast and definition.
- View live images and capture photos and videos with the 18MP USB 3.0 camera. Included software for Windows, Mac, and Linux provide tools for image processing, measuring, and more.
The MQ8333 is designed to be a scalable and economical laboratory microscope. This model is adorned with professional features. Its infinity-corrected optical system ensures reliable, low-distortion magnification, with plan-achromatic corrections for accurate colors, excellent field flatness and edge-to-edge sharpness. A quintuple lens-turret is used, providing five levels of magnification. The Koehler-design LED illumination system provides bright, evenly-distributed light for maximum contrast and definition. A large set of optional upgrades are available for phase-contrast and darkfield, making this microscope perfect for scaling laboratories and advanced education.
Viewing Head
The microscope's head is designed for precision and comfort. The super-widefield optics provide a larger field-of-view so you can see more specimen at any magnification. Compensation-free Siedentopf interpupillary adjustment allows any user to properly align the oculars without readjusting focus. For users with astigmatism or asymmetrical vision, both eyepieces can be independently adjusted to fine-tune focus. The switched trinocular port provides a dedicated mount for a camera to record photos or videos, and is height-adjustable to match focus with the eyepieces. The port uses 23mm tube interface which can be replaced with an optional C-mount interface.
Optics
The quintuple objective turret provides instant access to 5 magnification levels to easily focus in on minute details from 40X to 1000X. Additional 30X eyepieces expand the maximum magnification to 3000X with 10 unique levels. This covers magnifications needed for studying hair follicles, cells, soil, and bacteria. The turret's reversed orientation provides more working room above the stage. These high-quality lenses are achromatically corrected to improve resolution and color accuracy, with planatic flat-field correction to provide edge-to-edge sharpness.

Specimen Stage
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. Examining specimen slides is intuitive and precise for users at any skill level. A convenient lever grouped with the left-side focus knobs can be used to lock and unlock the coarse focus adjustment to prevent damage to the lenses and specimen.
LED Koehler Illumination
Built on Koehler illumination principals, the sub-stage lighting provides evenly-distributed light for optimal contrast. The LED light-source ensures energy-efficient illumination with low heat for live specimens. The bright light-source is daylight-balanced to produce natural colors for imaging. The Abbe light condenser has a high 1.25 numerical aperture for oil-immersion, and an iris diaphragm to optimize contrast and depth-of-field. The condenser holder uses rack-and-pinion height adjustment for precision control, and is centerable for proper alignment. The illuminator's field lens provides an iris diaphragm to control light-spread, optimizing contrast and definition in specimen features.
Digital Imaging
The 18MP camera and software allow you to preview and record photos and videos on your computer. The camera attaches to your computer using a high-speed USB 3.0 connection. Our professional software for Windows provides a wide assortment of capture and photo-editing functions, including colour correction, time-lapse capture, and a full complement of measuring tools. Cutting-edge features such as real-time auto-stitching and focus-stacking add new dimensions to imaging. A lite version of our software is available for Mac and Linux with essential functionality for capturing photos and videos.
