Monocular Microscope, 400x
Monocular Microscope, 400x (Product Code: SLE/M/101) is a mains-powered student microscope used to examine prepared and fresh slides up to 400x in secondary-school and college biology practicals. Its focusable Abbe condenser (N.A. 1.25) and LED lighting with intensity control give students more control over illumination than a fixed-condenser model. This school microscope for India and export markets is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the 400x Monocular Microscope Used For?
Secondary-school syllabuses call for slides of plant and animal cells, root-tip mitosis, stomata and simple micro-organisms, and this microscope covers all of them at up to 400x. Place the slide under the sample clips on the 110 x 110 mm plane stage, focus with the 4X objective using the coarse control, then move to 10X and 40X and finish with the fine control, which works to a precision of 2 µm.
Raise or lower the focusable Abbe condenser and turn the disc diaphragm to balance brightness and contrast: stained sections usually need more light, while thin unstained mounts show better with the condenser lowered and a smaller aperture. The 40X/0.65/S objective is spring-loaded, so it gives way if it touches a slide by mistake. Cover the microscope with the supplied dust cover after class.
What to Specify When Ordering

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Monocular Microscope, 400x run on batteries?
No. The Monocular Microscope, 400x is listed for 100–220 V mains power only, with LED illumination and intensity control. For rooms without reliable sockets, a cordless model with rechargeable batteries from the same range may suit better, so ask us to compare the options.
What condenser does the Monocular Microscope, 400x have?
The Monocular Microscope, 400x has a focusable Abbe condenser with N.A. 1.25 and a disc diaphragm under the stage. Moving the condenser up or down lets students adjust brightness and contrast for stained and unstained specimens alike.
How precise is the focusing on the Monocular Microscope, 400x?
The Monocular Microscope, 400x uses separate coarse and fine focusing controls, with a focus precision of 2 µm and a focusing stroke of 7 mm. Students use the fine control for final sharpening when working with the 40X objective.
What is included with the Monocular Microscope, 400x?
The Monocular Microscope, 400x is supplied with a dust cover. Slides, cover slips and prepared slide sets are not part of the listing, but they can be quoted in the same order so the microscope is ready to use on arrival.
Does the eyepiece of the Monocular Microscope, 400x have a pointer?
Yes. The Monocular Microscope, 400x has a WF10X/18 mm eyepiece with a pointer. A teacher can place the pointer on a nucleus or cell wall and ask each student to identify it, which makes group teaching quicker.
