4. What is the magnification of the Student Dissecting Microscope SDM-103?
The OPXICA SDM-103 offers up to 20X magnification, allowing users to clearly observe larger specimens while maintaining excellent depth perception and a realistic three-dimensional image.
5. Why does the SDM-103 provide a 3D stereo image?
Unlike compound microscopes, the Student Dissecting Microscope uses a stereo optical system with dual optical paths. This enables both eyes to receive slightly different images, creating natural depth perception and making it easier to examine the surface of specimens.
6. What are the main parts of the Student Dissecting Microscope SDM-103?
The microscope includes:
- Dual Eyepieces (10X/20X)
- Stereo Viewing Head
- Rack and Pinion Focusing System
- Wide Working Stage
- Specimen Clips
- Mirror-Based Illumination
- Heavy Round Base
- Durable Metal Stand
- Objective Optical System
- Fine Mechanical Components
Each part is engineered to provide stable and comfortable specimen observation.
7. What are the advantages of a Student Dissecting Microscope over a compound microscope?
A Student Dissecting Microscope offers:
- True three-dimensional viewing
- Larger working distance
- Observation of whole specimens
- Better depth perception
- Easier specimen handling
- Lower magnification with wider field of view
- Ideal for dissections and surface examination
These features make it suitable for practical education and laboratory demonstrations.
8. Is the OPXICA SDM-103 suitable for schools and colleges?
Yes. The OPXICA Student Dissecting Microscope SDM-103 is widely used in:
