Key Benefits

  • Infinity plan objectives deliver flat, high-contrast images across the field at all magnifications
  • Seidentopf binocular or trinocular head with 30° inclination and 360° rotation for ergonomic viewing and camera integration
  • Coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs allow smooth, precise focus adjustment without changing hand position
  • Mechanical stage with 78mmx55mm travel enables accurate sample positioning and repeated inspection
  • Koehler illumination with adjustable field diaphragm and iris diaphragm ensures even, glare-free lighting
  • Wide voltage input (100V~240V) allows use in labs with varying power supplies
  • Optional fluorescence, phase contrast, dark field, and polarizing attachments expand the instrument's analytical capabilities

Application Scenarios

  • Routine histology and cytology slide examination in clinical or research laboratories
  • Teaching undergraduate biology with consistent image quality across multiple students
  • Quality control inspection of cell cultures, tissue sections, and microorganisms
  • Microscopy work requiring precise focus and stage movement, such as in parasitology or microbiology
  • Research applications needing fluorescence, phase contrast, or polarized light for specimen differentiation

Who It Is For

  • Clinical and veterinary laboratories performing routine sample analysis
  • University and school teaching labs requiring durable, multi-purpose microscopes
  • Research labs in biology, microbiology, and cell science
  • Quality control departments in pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing
  • Medical and biological research institutions conducting advanced microscopy

Problems It Solves

  • Fixed focus or non-coaxial knobs make precise focusing difficult during extended use
  • Non-infinity optical systems produce image distortion at the edges, especially at higher magnifications
  • Lack of mechanical stage forces manual sample movement, increasing risk of misalignment
  • Poor illumination leads to glare or uneven lighting, reducing image clarity
  • No option for digital imaging or camera attachment limits documentation and sharing
  • Inability to switch between fluorescence, phase contrast, or polarized light requires multiple instruments

Technical Features

  • Infinity plan optical system ensures flat, high-resolution imaging across the entire field
  • Seidentopf binocular or trinocular head with 30° inclination and 360° rotation for operator comfort and camera setup
  • Interpupillary adjustment range 48mm-75mm accommodates different user eye spacing
  • Quintuple nosepiece allows quick objective switching without removing the nosepiece
  • Mechanical stage with 78mmx55mm travel enables precise, repeatable sample positioning
  • Coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs provide smooth, synchronized focus control
  • Swing-out Abbe condenser with N.A. 1.25 and iris diaphragm supports high-resolution imaging
  • Koehler illumination with adjustable field diaphragm and iris diaphragm for optimal light control
  • Wide voltage input (100V~240V) ensures compatibility with global power standards
  • 6V/20W halogen lamp provides stable, bright illumination for routine work
  • Optional 6V/30W halogen lamp or 3W-LED illumination for extended use or lower heat
  • Multiple filter options (blue, green, amber, grey) for contrast enhancement
  • C-mount adapters (1x and 0.57x) support digital camera integration
  • Adaptor for Canon/Nikon/Olympus digital cameras enables direct imaging
  • Optional fluorescence, phase contrast, dark field, and polarizing attachments for specialized analysis

Comparison With Other Options

XAB301 Laboratory Biological MicroscopeThe XAB300 includes a trinocular head and optional fluorescence, phase contrast, and polarizing attachments; the XAB301 is a basic binocular model without these advanced options.
XAB302 Laboratory Biological MicroscopeThe XAB302 is a trinocular model with a 100W mercury lamp fluorescence unit; the XAB300 offers both mercury and LED fluorescence options, giving more flexibility in light source choice.
Standard biological microscope without mechanical stageThe XAB300's mechanical stage allows precise, repeatable movement; a model without it requires manual handling, increasing error risk during inspection

Use Guide

  • Adjust the interpupillary distance to 48-75mm before focusing to ensure a single merged image
  • Start with the lowest magnification objective to locate the specimen, then switch to higher magnifications
  • Use the Abbe condenser and iris diaphragm to optimize contrast and resolution for each objective
  • For fluorescence work, ensure the correct filter is in place and the lamp is properly aligned
  • When using digital cameras, connect via the 1x or 0.57x C-mount adapter and confirm focus adjustment
  • Keep the halogen lamp clean and avoid touching the bulb with bare hands to prevent premature failure
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the working distance for the 40x objective?

0.65mm. The 100x objective has a working distance of 0.12mm, requiring immersion oil for use.

Can I use this microscope with a digital camera?

Yes. The XAB300 includes 1x and 0.57x C-mount adapters and a digital camera adaptor for Canon/Nikon/Olympus systems.

Does the microscope support fluorescence imaging?

Yes. Optional fluorescence attachments are available with either a 100W mercury lamp or a 5W-LED lamp.

What is the power input range?

100V to 240V, so it can be used in most countries without a voltage converter.

Can I switch between binocular and trinocular heads?

Yes. The XAB300 body supports both configurations; specify your preference when ordering.

Is the 100x objective oil immersion?

Yes. The 100x objective requires immersion oil for proper use and maximum resolution.
