10X/18mm Biological Microscope Eyepiece
The 10X/18mm biological microscope eyepiece is an achromatic eyepiece with a 10X magnification and a 18mm field number, designed for use with standard biological microscopes.
Product Overview
The 10X/18mm biological microscope eyepiece is an achromatic eyepiece with a 10X magnification and a 18mm field number, designed for use with standard biological microscopes. It has an outside diameter of 23.2 mm and fits most common microscope bodies using the DIN/JIS standard. This eyepiece improves image clarity and magnification without requiring a full instrument upgrade.
- Magnification10X
- Field number18mm
- Optical designAchromatic (DIN/JIS standard)
- Outside diameter23.2 mm
- Mounting size23.2 mm (in diameter)
- CompatibilityMost common biological microscopes with DIN/JIS standard eyepiece tubes
Key Benefits
- 10X magnification extends the total system magnification when paired with objectives
- 18mm field number provides a wider viewing area compared to standard 16mm eyepieces
- Achromatic design reduces chromatic aberration for clearer images
- 23.2 mm outside diameter matches DIN/JIS standard for compatibility with most biological microscopes
- Low cost upgrade option to improve inspection clarity without replacing the entire microscope
Application Scenarios
- Replacing a worn or low-quality eyepiece in a teaching laboratory biological microscope
- Upgrading a standard biological microscope for clearer image viewing during histology or cell counting
- Improving field of view and magnification in a clinical lab for routine specimen examination
- Using in a university lab where multiple students share microscopes and consistent eyepiece performance is needed
- Enhancing inspection clarity in a quality control lab without purchasing a new microscope
Who It Is For
- Teaching and training laboratories in schools and universities
- Clinical and veterinary labs performing routine biological sample checks
- Quality control departments in pharmaceutical or biotech labs
- Research labs requiring consistent eyepiece performance across multiple microscopes
- Maintenance staff upgrading older biological microscopes with modern eyepieces
Problems It Solves
- A low field number eyepiece limits the visible area, forcing frequent repositioning during inspection
- Chromatic aberration in low-cost eyepieces distorts color and reduces image clarity
- Mismatched eyepiece diameter prevents secure mounting in standard microscope bodies
- Outdated or damaged eyepieces reduce inspection accuracy and user comfort
- High cost of replacing an entire microscope when only the eyepiece needs upgrading
Technical Features
- Achromatic optical design to reduce chromatic aberration
- 10X magnification for use with standard objectives
- 18mm field number for wider field of view
- 23.2 mm outside diameter for DIN/JIS standard compatibility
- Threaded barrel for secure mounting in standard microscope bodies
- Designed for use with biological microscopes using standard 16mm or 23.2mm eyepiece tubes

Comparison With Other Options
| 10X/16mm biological microscope eyepiece | The 18mm field number provides a wider viewing area, reducing the need to reposition the slide during inspection. |
|---|---|
| 10X/20mm biological microscope eyepiece | The 18mm field number offers a balance between field of view and optical correction; larger field numbers may introduce edge distortion. |
| 10X/18mm eyepiece with non-achromatic design | The achromatic design reduces color fringing, improving image clarity under high magnification. |
Use Guide
- Ensure the microscope eyepiece tube is clean before inserting the new eyepiece
- Insert the eyepiece with the lens facing down and twist gently until it clicks into place
- Adjust the interpupillary distance and focus on the specimen after mounting
- Use with objectives from 4X to 100X to achieve total magnifications from 40X to 1000X
- Avoid touching the lens surface; use a lens brush or compressed air for cleaning

View DetailsFrequently Asked Questions
What is the field number of this eyepiece?
18mm. This provides a wider field of view compared to standard 16mm eyepieces.
Is this eyepiece compatible with my biological microscope?
Yes, it fits most biological microscopes with DIN/JIS standard eyepiece tubes and a 23.2 mm outside diameter.
Can I use this with a 40X objective?
Yes. When used with a 40X objective, the total magnification is 400X.
Does this eyepiece reduce color distortion?
Yes. It is achromatic, which reduces chromatic aberration for clearer images.
What is the outside diameter of the eyepiece?
23.2 mm. This matches the DIN/JIS standard for most biological microscopes.
Can I use this in a stereo microscope?
No. This eyepiece is designed for biological microscopes with a standard 16mm or 23.2mm tube. Stereo microscopes typically use different optical systems and mounting standards.
