Working Principle
The OPXICA Deca Head Microscope OPX-129 works on the principle of optical magnification and transmitted-light microscopy. The illumination system directs light through the specimen, while the condenser focuses and controls the light entering the sample.
The light passing through the specimen is collected by the selected Infinity Plan Achromatic objective. The objective magnifies the specimen image, which is then further viewed through the WF 10X eyepieces.
The Kohler illumination system helps provide controlled and uniform illumination across the specimen. Users can adjust the coarse and fine focusing controls to obtain a sharp image. The fine focusing mechanism allows precise adjustment, while the upper stop helps prevent the objective from making unintended contact with the specimen.
The main advantage of the OPX-129 is its multi-viewing optical system. The image from the microscope is distributed through the viewing heads, allowing multiple observers to examine the same specimen simultaneously. This makes the microscope suitable for teaching, practical demonstrations, collaborative observation, and group laboratory sessions.
