Product Overview

The CX40 Teaching Lab Biological Microscope is a standard biological microscope designed for classroom and laboratory instruction. It features a fixed 40X to 400X magnification range using a 10X eyepiece and 4X, 10X, and 40X objectives, with a 160mm tube length and a 100mm working distance under the 4X objective. The microscope uses a 12V 20W halogen lamp for consistent illumination and includes a 360-degree rotating nosepiece with a built-in diaphragm for adjusting light intensity. It is supplied with a 100mm stage and a mechanical stage for precise slide positioning.

Key Benefits

40X to 400X magnification range covers most common biological specimens in teaching labs
100mm working distance under the 4X objective allows room for slide manipulation and staining
Mechanical stage with 75mm x 50mm travel enables accurate slide positioning during observation
360-degree rotating nosepiece with built-in diaphragm lets students adjust light without changing components
Fixed tube length of 160mm ensures compatibility with standard biological objectives and eyepieces

Application Scenarios

Classroom instruction in high school or university biology labs using prepared slides
Student-led observation of plant cells, animal tissues, and microorganisms under controlled lighting
Laboratory sessions requiring consistent magnification and repeatable focus across multiple students
Teaching sessions where multiple students take turns using the same microscope without recalibration
Basic histology and cytology labs where slide positioning and lighting control are essential

Who It Is For

High school and university biology teaching laboratories
Science departments in secondary schools and vocational colleges
Educational institutions running hands-on microscopy sessions
Instructors who need a reliable, low-maintenance microscope for group use
Training centers teaching basic biological observation techniques

Problems It Solves

A fixed magnification range prevents the need for frequent objective changes during a lesson
The 100mm working distance avoids interference from hands or tools when handling slides
Mechanical stage ensures consistent slide positioning across multiple users
Built-in diaphragm allows quick light adjustment without replacing components
Fixed tube length eliminates focus drift when switching between objectives

Comparison With Other Options

CX40 without mechanical stage	The CX40 with mechanical stage allows precise slide positioning, reducing the need for manual adjustment during observation.
CX40 with 100mm stage only	The standard 100mm stage with spring-loaded clips holds slides securely; the mechanical stage adds controlled movement for detailed scanning.
CX40 with LED illumination	The standard halogen lamp provides bright, consistent light; the LED version reduces heat and power use but may require a different adapter.

Use Guide

Adjust the interpupillary distance between 55mm and 75mm before focusing to avoid eye strain
Start with the 4X objective and focus using the coarse knob, then switch to higher magnifications using the fine knob
Use the mechanical stage to move the slide in small increments for detailed examination
Adjust the diaphragm in the nosepiece to control light intensity based on specimen transparency
Ensure the lamp is connected to a 12V DC power supply before turning on the illumination
