Universal Research Microscope
Universal Research Microscope (Product Code: SLE/M/30) is a binocular compound microscope used for detailed slide work in biology, pathology and microbiology laboratories. Colleges and teaching hospitals value its dual lighting — a built-in 6 V 20 W halogen lamp plus a plano-concave mirror attachment — and its Abbe condenser of N.A. 1.25. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for buyers sourcing a compound microscope in India.

What Is the Universal Research Microscope Used For?
This microscope handles the everyday slide work of an undergraduate or diagnostic teaching lab: stained tissue sections, blood smears, bacteria and plant material. The 4x and 10x objectives locate the area of interest, the spring-loaded 40/45x resolves cells, and the 100x oil-immersion objective is used for bacteria and fine cell detail with a drop of immersion oil between slide and lens.
The "universal" lighting is useful where power is unreliable: switch on the halogen lamp for controlled, adjustable light, or attach the plano-concave mirror to use daylight or a bench lamp. For a microbiology lab equipment India set-up, the Abbe condenser and iris diaphragm let students balance contrast and resolution for each objective, and the pre-focus lock stops the stage rising into a slide during a practical.

Frequently Asked Questions
What objectives and eyepieces does the Universal Research Microscope use?
The Universal Research Microscope uses DIN objectives of 4x, 10x, 40/45x and 100x oil immersion, the last two spring loaded. They sit on a ball-bearing quadruple nosepiece and are paired with high eye-point wide-field 10x (F.N. 20) or 15x eyepieces.
Why does the Universal Research Microscope have both a lamp and a mirror?
The Universal Research Microscope combines a built-in 6 V – 20 W halogen bulb with a plano-concave mirror attachment. The lamp gives steady, adjustable light from the mains, while the mirror lets the microscope work with daylight or an external lamp when electricity is not available.
Can the binocular head be adjusted for different students?
Yes. The Universal Research Microscope's binocular head is inclined at 45° and rotates through 360°, the interpupillary distance adjusts from 54 to 74 mm, and a dioptric ring with scale on the left eyetube corrects for differences between a user's two eyes.
What condenser is fitted to the Universal Research Microscope?
The Universal Research Microscope has an Abbe condenser with a numerical aperture of 1.25, an aspherical lens and an adjustable iris diaphragm. Closing or opening the iris lets the user trade contrast against resolution to suit each objective and specimen.
What mains supply does this microscope need?
The Universal Research Microscope is listed as suitable for a 220 V, 50 Hz AC supply for its halogen illumination. If your laboratory uses a different mains voltage, state it in your enquiry so the power arrangement can be confirmed before a quotation is issued.
Who supplies the Universal Research Microscope?
The Universal Research Microscope is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, known as ScienceLab, based in Ambala, Haryana, India. It supplies colleges, research institutes, dealers and importers in India and international markets, and can include slides and immersion oil in the same order.
