Digital Stereo Microscope SWO LED

Product Code : SCL-MI-10766

The digital stereo microscope is a laboratory microscope used for low-power, three-dimensional observation of specimens, components, plant parts, insects, minerals and classroom samples. It is designed for schools, colleges, STEM labs and inspection users who need clear magnified viewing with 5 MP USB 2.0 image capture.

Product Description

The Digital Stereo Microscope SWO LED 10x/20x/40x 5 MP USB 2.0 combines stereo optical viewing, LED illumination and digital camera output in one practical laboratory instrument. The 10x, 20x and 40x magnification range supports routine dissection, specimen handling, demonstration and surface inspection where depth perception is important.

This microscope is suitable for biology classrooms, science laboratories, training centres and quality inspection benches. The USB 2.0 camera helps users capture still images or live observation output for teaching, documentation and digital lab records.

How to Use the Digital Stereo Microscope SWO LED 10x/20x/40x 5 MP USB 2.0

1. Place the microscope on a stable, clean laboratory bench.
2. Connect the LED illumination and USB 2.0 camera as per the supplied instructions.
3. Place the specimen or object on the stage area.
4. Select the required magnification: 10x for wider viewing, 20x for routine detail or 40x for closer inspection.
5. Adjust the focus slowly until the object appears sharp through the eyepieces or digital display.
6. Capture images or live output using compatible camera software, if supplied.

Handle the microscope with both hands, avoid touching optical surfaces, and switch off the LED after use.

Care & Maintenance
