XDT Series
Student binocular and monocular biological microscopes designed for classroom learning and basic laboratory instruction in schools and educational institutions.
The XDT Series includes student-grade biological microscopes with binocular and monocular viewing heads, coaxial coarse and fine focusing, and triple or quadruple objective nosepieces. These models support magnifications from 40X to 1600X and are built for use in teaching environments where durability, ease of use and consistent optical performance are required.

What Goes Wrong Without the Right XDT Series
- Students struggle to see specimens clearly with fixed-focus or low-magnification microscopes
- Classroom microscopes with single eyepieces cause eye strain during extended use
- Lack of adjustable interpupillary distance forces students to use the microscope incorrectly
- Inconsistent illumination leads to poor contrast and difficulty in identifying cellular structures
- Microscopes without proper stage clips lose slides during handling or adjustment
Who Buys From This Category
- Secondary and high school biology classrooms teaching cell structure and microscopy
- University introductory biology labs for non-science majors
- Technical and vocational schools training students in life sciences and medical technology
- Science outreach programs and public science exhibitions
Why These Items
- Binocular heads with 30° inclination and 55-75mm interpupillary adjustment reduce eye strain during long sessions
- Coaxial coarse and fine focusing allows smooth, precise focusing without shifting hands
- Triple or quadruple objective nosepieces provide 40X to 1600X magnification range for observing cells and tissues
- Adjustable condenser and iris diaphragm improve contrast and resolution of transparent specimens
- Slide clips on the 95x95mm or 90x90mm stage prevent movement during observation
Where These Are Used
- Observing onion epidermal cells under 100X to 400X magnification in a high school lab
- Identifying blood cell types using a 400X to 1600X magnification setup in a biology class
- Teaching students how to adjust interpupillary distance and focus in a hands-on session
- Using a trinocular head to connect a digital camera for live projection during a classroom demonstration
Before You Order
- Choose binocular models for better comfort during extended use in classroom settings
- Ensure the stage size matches the slide dimensions used in your curriculum
- Verify the objective nosepiece configuration (triple or quadruple) based on required magnification steps
- Confirm whether a trinocular head is needed for digital imaging or projection purposes
Frequently Asked Questions
What magnification range does the XDT Series offer?
The XDT Series provides magnification from 40X to 1600X, using eyepieces and objectives in combination.
Is the XDT300 model binocular or monocular?
The XDT300 is a binocular model with a 30° inclined head and adjustable interpupillary distance of 55-75mm.
Can I upgrade a monocular XDT model to a trinocular head?
The XDT Series models are sold as complete units. Upgrades to trinocular heads are not available as separate components.
What size slide does the stage support?
The stage supports slides up to 95x95mm or 90x90mm, depending on the model, with built-in slide clips.
Are the objectives achromatic?
Yes, the objectives in the XDT Series are achromatic, designed to reduce chromatic aberration at standard magnifications.
