Working Purpose
The OPXICA Projection Microscope OPX-177 (Dome Type) is primarily designed for microscopy demonstrations and group teaching.
Instead of requiring every student to look individually through a microscope eyepiece, the instrument projects an enlarged microscopic image onto its glass projection screen. This allows an instructor to demonstrate the same specimen to a group of students at the same time.
The microscope is suitable for observing prepared biological slides and other specimens commonly used in school and college laboratory practicals. Its 4X, 10X and 40X achromatic objectives provide different magnification levels for basic microscopic observation.
Applications
The OPX-177 is suitable for:
- School Science Laboratories
- College Laboratories
- University Teaching Laboratories
- Biology Classrooms
- Botany Laboratories
- Zoology Laboratories
- Microbiology Teaching
- Student Training Laboratories
- Science Demonstrations
- Biology Practical Classes
- Laboratory Training Centres
- Educational Institutions
- Teacher Demonstrations
- Group Microscopy Sessions
- Specimen Demonstration
Typical Uses
The microscope can be used for:
- Classroom microscope demonstrations
- Group observation of prepared slides
- Biology practical sessions
- Demonstration of plant specimens
- Demonstration of animal specimens
- Basic microbiology teaching
- Cell structure demonstrations
- Tissue specimen demonstrations
- Teaching fundamental microscopy
- Student laboratory training
Wrapping Notes
The OPXICA Projection Microscope OPX-177 (Dome Type) provides a practical solution for educational institutions that need to demonstrate microscopic specimens to multiple students simultaneously.
Its 150 mm rotatable glass projection screen, LED illumination, triple revolving nosepiece and achromatic 4X, 10X and 40X objectives make it suitable for routine teaching and demonstration applications. The compact construction and straightforward operation also make it convenient for school and college laboratories.
