XSP500 40X-2000X Student Biological Microscope for Beginners

The XSP500 is a monocular biological microscope with a 30° inclined binocular head, designed for classroom and beginner use.

Product Overview

The XSP500 is a monocular biological microscope with a 30° inclined binocular head, designed for classroom and beginner use. It provides 40X to 1000X total magnification with 4X, 10X, and 40X (S) DIN achromatic objectives, and supports optional WF25X eyepieces to extend magnification to 2000X. The 17mm focusing mechanism and dual LED illumination allow clear viewing of slides under both top and bottom light. The 95x95mm stage with sliding ruler aids slide positioning during observation.

Key Benefits

  • 30° inclined binocular head reduces neck strain during prolonged classroom use
  • 40X to 1000X total magnification covers basic to intermediate biological specimen study
  • Optional WF25X eyepiece extends magnification to 2000X for detailed cellular structures
  • Dual LED illumination from top and bottom ensures consistent lighting on transparent specimens
  • 17mm focusing mechanism allows precise focus adjustment across all magnifications
  • 95x95mm stage with sliding ruler enables accurate slide positioning and tracking

Application Scenarios

  • Classroom demonstration of plant cells, blood smears, and microorganisms under a projector
  • High school biology lab sessions for students learning microscope handling and specimen preparation
  • Beginner-level university lab work in microbiology and histology
  • Teaching assistants guiding students through slide observation with consistent lighting
  • Low-cost lab setup for institutions with limited budget for advanced instruments

Who It Is For

  • High school and middle school biology teachers and students
  • University introductory biology and life sciences labs
  • Educational institutions with budget constraints for lab equipment
  • Science outreach programs and science fairs
  • Beginner learners in biology, medicine, and environmental science

Problems It Solves

  • Fixed head microscopes force students to look down at awkward angles, causing neck fatigue
  • Low magnification range limits the ability to study cellular details in introductory labs
  • Single illumination source may create shadows or uneven lighting on slides
  • Lack of stage ruler makes it difficult to locate and track specific areas on a slide
  • No option to upgrade eyepieces forces users to buy a new microscope for higher magnification

Technical Features

  • Monocular head with 30° inclination for ergonomic viewing
  • 360° rotatable head allows shared viewing between multiple students
  • DIN achromatic objectives: 4X, 10X, 40X (S) for consistent image quality
  • Single lens condenser with N.A. 0.65 and five-color filter diaphragm for contrast control
  • Coarse and fine focusing adjustment with 17mm travel for precise focus
  • Top and bottom LED illumination for transmitted and reflected light viewing
  • 95x95mm stage with sliding ruler for slide positioning and measurement
  • WF10X/18mm eyepiece standard, optional WF25X for higher magnification

Customization Options

  • Option to upgrade eyepiece from WF10X to WF25X for higher magnification
  • Choice of binocular head with 30° inclination and 360° rotation
  • Addition of optional condenser filters for improved contrast
  • Replacement of standard stage with a larger or specialized stage if needed

Comparison With Other Options

XSP500 without optional WF25X eyepieceSame base optics and stage, but the WF25X option extends magnification to 2000X for detailed cellular observation
Monocular biological microscopeThe binocular head reduces eye strain during long sessions, and the 360° rotation allows shared viewing
Microscope with fixed headThe 30° inclined and rotatable head improves ergonomics and enables multiple students to view the same slide without repositioning

Use Guide

  • Adjust the interpupillary distance to match your eye spacing before focusing
  • Start with the 4X objective and coarse focus, then switch to higher objectives using fine focus
  • Use the sliding ruler to locate and track specific areas on the slide
  • Adjust the condenser height and diaphragm to control contrast and brightness
  • Ensure both top and bottom LED lights are on for optimal transmitted illumination
