Pathological Monocular Microscope (Product Code: SLE/M/24) is a single-eyepiece compound microscope with built-in halogen base illumination, used to examine stained tissue sections and smears in pathology teaching and routine laboratory slide work. It combines 4x to 100x oil-immersion objectives, an Abbe N.A. 1.25 condenser and a 120 x 125 mm co-axial mechanical stage on a pressure die-cast body. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as laboratory instruments for India and international markets.

The Pathological Monocular Microscope is aimed at medical laboratory technology, pathology and microbiology practicals, where students examine histology sections, blood films and stained bacterial smears slide after slide. The built-in 6 V–20 W halogen base light gives the same illumination at every bench regardless of daylight, and the plano-concave mirror attachment remains available as an alternative light path.
The co-axial X-Y controls sit low beside the stage, so the hand can rest on the bench while scanning a smear methodically, and the vernier graduation records where a notable field was found. Rotating the 45° head lets a demonstrator turn the eyepiece towards a student without moving the slide. For 100x work, close down the iris only slightly, add immersion oil, and use the fine focus gently.
The Pathological Monocular Microscope is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab name in Ambala, Haryana. Colleges running laboratory technology courses, training institutes, laboratory dealers and importers in India and international markets can quote the microscope together with oil, slides and slide storage. Company background is on the ScienceLab profile.

What light source does the Pathological Monocular Microscope use?
The Pathological Monocular Microscope uses a built-in base illumination system with a 6 V–20 W halogen bulb, suitable for a 220 V, 50 Hz AC supply. A plano-concave mirror attachment is also provided as an alternative light path.
Which objectives and eyepieces does the Pathological Monocular Microscope have?
The Pathological Monocular Microscope has 4x, 10x, 40/45x (S.L.) and 100x oil-immersion (S.L.) objectives on a quadruple nosepiece that revolves on a ball bearing, with wide-field eyepieces of 10x or 15x.
What does S.L. mean on the Pathological Monocular Microscope objectives?
On the Pathological Monocular Microscope, S.L. marks the 40/45x and 100x objectives as spring-loaded. If the lens is lowered onto a slide by mistake, the front section retracts slightly, helping protect both the slide and the objective.
What stage does the Pathological Monocular Microscope have?
The Pathological Monocular Microscope has a co-axial, low-positioned mechanical X-Y stage measuring 120 x 125 mm with fine vernier graduation, so a slide can be scanned smoothly and positions can be noted for later review.
How does the Pathological Monocular Microscope differ from the binocular version?
The Pathological Monocular Microscope has a single 45° tube, whereas the binocular version (SLE/M/25) adds a two-eyepiece head with interpupillary and dioptric adjustment. The binocular suits long viewing sessions; the monocular keeps the cost per bench lower.
