The UM1076C microscope is a great choice for intermediate level stereo microscopy. You can mount your camera onto the photoport of the trinocular head (requires adapter). It is ideal for looking at all non-slide mounted subjects such as insects, plants, rocks, coins, waterborne subjects etc. It is supplied with a stand which has both top and bottom illumination, although, for photography, we strongly recommend adding additional lighting for optimum results such as a ring light or fibre optic goosenecks.
STANDS
This microscope is supplied, as standard, with a dual LED illuminated wide base pillar stand as shown in the pictures.
In the options you can select different types of long reach stands to be supplied instead, the upgrade price is shown:
Long Reach Boom Stand with Desk Base
Long Reach Boom Stand with G-Clamp
Long Reach Articulated Arm Stand with G-Clamp
Long Reach Boom Stand with G-Clamp
We have over 50 other types of stands you can choose from including mirror base, motorised, high track versions. Please ask us if you require something specific - we can supply it!
SUPPLEMENTARY ILLUMINATION
For any photography getting plenty of light onto the subject is utterly essential for the best results, select from these illumination options:
High Intensity Dual Gooseneck LED Microscope Illuminator.
- Air Cooled Powerful 20W LED light source at least 1250 Lumens! (Optional 50W LED with at least 2250 Lumens - please enquire)
- The Light Guides have unusually wide fibre bundles running through them with upgraded shielding to produce a more even light with high transmission rates
- Long Light Guides that hold their position
- Portable with carry handle
DUAL GOOSENECK LED Microscope Illuminator.
- Adjustable focussing lenses at the end
- Long Goosenecks that hold their position
- Bright LEDs at the end of each gooseneck
- This is a Cold Light Source
- Adjustable intensity
- Special internal processor holds the light intensity constant
QUADLED Microscope Ring Light.
- Quadrant Selectable
- Adjustable Intensity
Stereo Microscope Ring Light,
Auxiliary Objectives
This microscope does not require an auxiliary objective to work. Without an auxiliary objective the zoom magnification range is 0.7X-4.5X which, with the standard 10x eyepieces (included in the price) installed will give a magnification of 7X-45X. The working distance is 100mm (distance from end of the objective lens to the point on the subject that is in focus).
You can change these values by screwing onto the 'nose' of the microscope an objective lens, there are 3 magnifications available. So, for instance with the 0.5X objective attached the zoom magnification range will be halved to 3.5X-22.5X. The working distance also changes. Please note that the 2X objective is the most tricky to use because getting light onto the subject is much more difficult with lower working distances.
Eyepieces
Additional sets of eyepieces will increase the magnification to the observer (not to the camera). It is always best, if practical) to change the magnification using an auxiliary objective because the image to the camera changes but eyepieces will not change the working distance which gives considerable advantage if working under the microscope with instruments.
Camera Adapters
You can connect C-mount cameras and DSLR cameras to this microscope using the adapters listed.
