Compound Microscope
Compound Microscope (Product Code: SLE/M/51) is a rechargeable LED compound microscope used to study stained slides, cells and micro-organisms in school, college and training laboratories. It combines achromatic parfocal objectives, a built-in mechanical stage and a rack-and-pinion 1.25 N.A. Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm, and runs on its included NiMH batteries or the AC charger/adapter. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the Compound Microscope Used For?
The adjustable Abbe condenser and iris diaphragm make this microscope suitable for both stained and unstained material, which is the heart of cell biology practicals: stained tissue sections, onion and cheek cells, and protists in pond water. Close the iris to add contrast to pale, transparent cells, and open it for well-stained slides. The mechanical stage moves the slide in controlled strokes, so students can scan a smear systematically instead of nudging the glass by hand.
With the NiMH batteries charged, the microscope can be used at benches or in rooms without sockets, then returned to its AC charger/adapter. The cool LED does not heat wet mounts or live specimens, and the positive stops at both ends of stage travel help protect delicate slides and optics. Teachers can use the calibrated pointer in the eyepiece to indicate exactly which structure to look at.

Frequently Asked Questions
What illumination does the Compound Microscope have?
The Compound Microscope has a bright, cool LED built into the base, with an on/off switch and light intensity control. The LED bulb life is listed as 10,000 hours, so lamp changes are rarely needed in routine teaching use.
How is the Compound Microscope powered?
The Compound Microscope runs on rechargeable NiMH batteries, and an AC charger/adapter is included. This lets it work at benches without a power point and be recharged between lessons from a standard outlet.
What condenser is fitted to the Compound Microscope?
The Compound Microscope has a rack-and-pinion adjustable 1.25 N.A. Abbe condenser with an iris diaphragm. Raising, lowering and stopping down the condenser gives more control over light and image contrast for different specimens.
Which objectives come with the Compound Microscope?
The Compound Microscope uses achromatic objectives that are parcentered and parfocal, so a centred, focused specimen stays in view when you change power. The listing does not state the individual objective magnifications; ask us on the contact page for the set we quote.
How big and heavy is the Compound Microscope?
The Compound Microscope measures 11-1/2 in H x 6 in W x 9-1/2 in D (about 29.2 x 15.2 x 24.1 cm) and weighs 10 lb (about 4.5 kg). The 360° rotating head is inclined at 45° for comfortable seated viewing.
Who supplies the Compound Microscope?
The Compound Microscope is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company quotes schools, colleges, training institutes, dealers and importers in India and international markets, from single instruments to full class sets.
What should a Compound Microscope quotation request include?
A Compound Microscope quotation request should state the number of microscopes, the delivery location and the slides or accessories you want with them. If you need a specific objective set, include it so we can confirm availability in the quotation.
