Working Purpose
The OPXICA Projection Microscope OPX-179 is developed primarily for microscope projection, classroom demonstration and laboratory teaching.
The projection system enlarges the microscopic image onto the built-in screen, allowing multiple students or observers to view the specimen simultaneously. This makes the microscope useful where direct individual viewing through an eyepiece would be inconvenient for a large group.
The detachable mechanical stage with slide clips helps position microscope slides securely, while the triple revolving nosepiece allows users to select between different objective magnifications.
The 12V/100W halogen illumination system provides the light required for projection and microscopic observation.

The Projection Microscope OPX-179 is suitable for:
- School Laboratories
- College Laboratories
- University Laboratories
- Biology Teaching
- Classroom Demonstrations
- Science Education
- Laboratory Training
- Biology Practical Classes
- Microbiology Teaching
- Botany Laboratories
- Zoology Laboratories
- Medical Education
- Specimen Demonstration
- Laboratory Instruction
- Educational Institutions
- Training Centres
- Routine Microscopic Observation
