XAB Series
Laboratory biological microscopes with finite and infinity optical systems, offering binocular and trinocular viewing heads, interchangeable objectives, and mechanical stages for routine and detailed specimen analysis in teaching, research, and quality control environments.
The XAB Series comprises laboratory biological microscopes designed for standard and advanced biological specimen examination. Models range from basic educational units to digital-ready configurations with infinity-corrected optics and rotatable viewing heads. All units feature adjustable eyepieces, finite or infinity optical systems, and mechanical stages with defined travel and size. The series supports both standard and precision objectives, including oil immersion and plan-apochromatic types, and offers binocular and trinocular viewing heads with 30° inclination and interpupillary adjustment.

View DetailsWhat Goes Wrong Without the Right XAB Series
- A fixed magnification microscope cannot adapt to different specimen thicknesses or contrast needs
- Lack of a mechanical stage makes precise movement of slides difficult during extended observation
- Non-adjustable eyepieces cause eye strain or inaccurate focus for users with different vision
- A non-rotatable viewing head limits shared observation or camera alignment in collaborative settings
- Finite optical systems introduce spherical and chromatic aberration in high-magnification imaging
Who Buys From This Category
- Teaching laboratories conducting biology and cell structure classes
- Clinical and research labs performing routine tissue and blood smear analysis
- Quality control stations inspecting biological samples in pharmaceutical or medical device production
- University research groups requiring stable, repeatable imaging for long-term studies
- Microbiology labs preparing and observing bacterial cultures and microorganisms
Why These Items
- Finite and infinity optical systems allow compatibility with both standard and high-precision objectives
- 30° inclined binocular and trinocular heads with 50-75 mm interpupillary adjustment reduce neck strain during long sessions
- Rotatable 360° viewing head enables easy sharing of observation or camera alignment
- Mechanical stage with 145x140 mm travel and defined working distance supports accurate slide positioning
- Wide range of objectives including 4X to 100X oil immersion and plan-apochromatic types enables detailed imaging across magnification levels
- Adjustable eyepieces (WF10X/18mm to WF20X/10mm) accommodate different user vision and magnification needs
Where These Are Used
- Examining a blood smear under 40X and 100X oil immersion for abnormal cell morphology
- Observing live cultures in a petri dish with a 10X objective and mechanical stage for precise movement
- Sharing a specimen between two users using the 360° rotatable trinocular head
- Capturing images through a digital camera port using a plan objective for consistent focus across fields
- Adjusting pupil distance from 50 mm to 75 mm to accommodate different users at a shared lab bench
Before You Order
- Confirm whether your application requires finite or infinity optical correction before selecting a model
- Match the eyepiece tube diameter and nosepiece thread to any existing camera or adapter you plan to use
- Ensure the mechanical stage travel and size meet the dimensions of your slide or specimen holder
- Select oil immersion objectives only if you are working with high-resolution, thin-sectioned samples
- Verify the working distance of objectives (e.g., 0.12 mm for 100X oil) to avoid contact with the slide
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between finite and infinity optical systems in the XAB Series?
Finite optical systems use fixed focal lengths and are suitable for standard biological observation. Infinity-corrected systems allow for better image quality with additional optical components like cameras or filters, and are used in higher-precision applications.
Can I use a digital camera with the trinocular models?
Yes. The trinocular heads have a standard 23.2 mm tube diameter and are designed to accept camera adapters for digital imaging.
What is the working distance for the 100X oil immersion objective?
The working distance for the 100X/1.25 (Oil) objective is 0.12 mm, which requires careful handling and oil application.
Do the eyepieces have a pointer or ruler?
Yes, optional eyepieces with a pointer or ruler are available in the WF10X/18mm, WF16X/14mm, and WF20X/10mm configurations.
Is the mechanical stage suitable for large slides?
The mechanical stage measures 145x140 mm, which accommodates standard and large glass slides used in biological labs.
