Research Microscope (Product Code: SLE/M/54) is a binocular compound microscope used for detailed slide work, including oil-immersion study of bacteria and stained cells, in college, university and research laboratories. It pairs Koehler illumination from a 3 W LED with 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x oil-immersion objectives on a reversed quintuple nosepiece, above a large 180 x 170 mm stage. Supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, it suits labs building up microbiology lab equipment in India and abroad.

The 100x oil-immersion objective is what separates this instrument from a student microscope: it resolves the shapes and arrangements of bacteria in stained smears, the structure of stained blood cells in teaching films and fine detail in histology sections. Koehler illumination spreads the 3 W LED light evenly across the field, which keeps high-power images crisp and suits photomicrography work.
For oil work, focus first at 40x, swing the nosepiece aside, place a drop of immersion oil on the slide and click the 100x objective into place; wipe the oil off with lens tissue afterwards. During long sessions, the swivelling tubes, 48–75 mm eye-spacing range and dioptre-adjustable high-eyepoint eyepieces keep viewing comfortable, including for spectacle wearers, while the low-position stage controls let the hand rest on the bench.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, supplies the Research Microscope to universities, research institutes, pharmacy and life-science colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets. It can be quoted alongside immersion oil, slides and cover glasses so a lab receives everything for its first session. Read about the company on the ScienceLab profile.

What objectives does the Research Microscope have?
The Research Microscope has 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x oil-immersion objectives on a reversed quintuple nosepiece with click stops. The click stops seat each objective precisely, making magnification changes quick and repeatable during slide work.
What illumination does the Research Microscope use?
The Research Microscope uses Koehler illumination with a 3 W LED and intensity control. Koehler illumination lights the field of view evenly, which helps at high magnification and when capturing images for reports.
Does the Research Microscope need immersion oil?
Yes, for its 100x objective. The Research Microscope’s 100x objective is an oil-immersion lens, so a drop of immersion oil is placed between slide and lens. Oil is not listed as included; our Immersion Oil, 25ml can be added to the order.
How large is the stage on the Research Microscope?
The Research Microscope has a large 180 x 170 mm stage with a built-in mechanical stage giving a travel range of 80 x 55 mm. Low-position coaxial controls let the user move the slide smoothly while keeping the hand on the bench.
Can the Research Microscope be adjusted for different users?
Yes. The Research Microscope has an interpupillary range of 48 to 75 mm, 360° swivelling eyepiece tubes and N-WF10x/20 mm high-eyepoint eyepieces with dioptre adjustment, so each user can set a sharp, comfortable view.
Who supplies the Research Microscope?
The Research Microscope is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company quotes universities, research institutes, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets, for single units or multiple workstations.
What should a Research Microscope quotation request include?
A Research Microscope quotation request should state the number of units, the delivery location and the consumables you need, such as immersion oil, slides and cover slips. Mention any imaging plans so we can suggest a suitable set-up.
Request a Research Microscope quotation through the contact page, or add it to the enquiry cart with immersion oil and slides.
