Student Monocular Microscope (Product Code: SLE/M/23) is a compound microscope with achromat 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x oil objectives, used for senior-school and undergraduate slide work from 20x to 1500x. Its monocular head is interchangeable with a binocular or vertical photo tube, so a lab can start simple and change the viewing arrangement later. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, among its biology lab equipment for India and international markets.

The Student Monocular Microscope covers the full range of a biology practical course on one stand: whole mounts and tissue sections at low power with the 4x and 10x objectives, cell detail at 40x, and stained bacteria with the 100x oil-immersion objective. Because each division of the fine-focus knob equals 0.002 mm, students can also count divisions between two focal planes to estimate the thickness of a specimen, a useful extension exercise for senior classes.
The interchangeable head is the model's planning advantage. A school can equip a lab with monocular heads today and later fit a binocular head for comfort or a vertical photo tube for imaging, keeping the same stand, stage and objectives. For lighting, use the plano-concave mirror in bright rooms, or order the 6 V/20 W or direct 220 V lamp that mounts in place of the mirror.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, supplies the Student Monocular Microscope to schools, colleges, universities, dealers and importers. Departments planning to upgrade heads or lighting later can discuss those options with the same supplier that quoted the original microscopes. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile.

Can the head of the Student Monocular Microscope be changed?
Yes. The monocular head of the Student Monocular Microscope is interchangeable with a binocular or a vertical photo tube. State the head you need in your enquiry, or ask about changing it later, and we will advise on the options.
How fine is the focusing on the Student Monocular Microscope?
On the Student Monocular Microscope, one division of the fine-focus knob equals 0.002 mm. The one-piece die-cast arm uses ball-bearing guide ways, giving smooth, frictionless fine focusing without backlash.
Which objectives come with the Student Monocular Microscope?
The Student Monocular Microscope has achromat 4x, 10x and 40x (S.L.) objectives and a 100x oil-immersion objective, carried on a quadruple nosepiece that revolves on smooth bearings. With the listed eyepieces this gives 20x to 1500x.
What size is the stage of the Student Monocular Microscope?
The Student Monocular Microscope has a mechanical stage of standard size, 120 x 140 mm. The mechanical controls move the slide steadily, which matters most at 40x and 100x, where hand movement is too coarse.
What lighting options does the Student Monocular Microscope have?
The Student Monocular Microscope comes with a plano-concave mirror. An optional 6 V/20 W lamp, or a lamp for direct 220 V connection, can be attached in place of the mirror mount; the bright-field Abbe condenser then focuses that light onto the slide.
Who supplies the Student Monocular Microscope?
The Student Monocular Microscope is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges, universities, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
What should a quotation request for the Student Monocular Microscope include?
Include product code SLE/M/23, the quantity of Student Monocular Microscope units, the head, eyepieces and illumination you want, any consumables, and the delivery city or country, so a single quotation covers the full configuration.
