Product Details
Microscope FS-1, monocular, with batteries
Monocular microscope with LED light, nice design and good value for money, suitable for examining everything from insect parts to slightly larger cell organelles. A good choice for the slightly more advanced student use in secondary school and high school, where the 60x objective allows observation of some of the smallest cells, as well as larger cell organelles. The microscope is equipped with four achromatic objectives that make it especially suitable in situations where there is a need to look at a wide range of elements of varying size. The eyepiece’s 10x magnification, together with the objectives, gives a total magnification of 40x, 100x and 400x and 600x.
Description
Please note that the 60x objective can be used for observation of some bacteria, but is not suitable for procedures where bacteria need to be species determined. The objective provides good magnification when studying different cells from plants and animals, or blood and sperm smears.
This FS-1 microscope is equipped with a built-in rechargeable battery that allows you to take the microscope with you on a field trip or use it in conditions where there is no immediate access to power, this could be for diagnostic purposes in veterinary practice or similar.
Focusing is done with coaxial coarse and fine screws on the side of the microscope that move the cross stage up and down. The light is built-in LED lighting that is adjusted via a knob on the microscope base, while contrast and depth of field are adjusted with a condenser and aperture under the cross stage.
The FS-1, 60x microscope is also available in a monocular and a trinocular version, or in a monocular and binocular version with a 100x objective as the highest magnification.
The microscope is supplied with a dust cap.

Use of the product
Microscopes can be used in biology, biotechnology and nature/technology teaching, where plant cells and animal cells are examined and bacteria and fungi are spotted.
The microscope’s objective lens sizes and adjustable eyepieces also make the microscope suitable for diagnostic use in laboratories and veterinary clinics, for example when examining tissue samples, blood cells or for diagnostic analyses of feces and discharge.
