This is a brand new, factory sealed, Variscope Series 821 microscope and camera bundle: We have found this incredible new brand of premium quality microscopes and are now making them available for sale direct to the public with a special arrangement with the factory. The Variscope microscope family of optical instruments is made by one of the largest "private label" optical component fabricators in the world. Your microscope is made by the same technicians and on the same production line as optical instruments for the world's leading optical instrument brands. While this is the same instrument you might see in a science catalog for thousands of dollars, by developing the Variscope brand, the factory is able to sell the same product directly to us for much, much less. This microscope is brand new and has never been removed from the original factory packaging.

Great Features for High Quality Stereoscopic Imaging: This microscope is designed for high quality viewing of a wide range of specimens. This microscope is manufactured with an internally rotating dual 2x - 4x stereo objective made from premium ground optical glass. Used in conjunction with the included wide field 10x (23mm) stereo eyepieces, you can achieve magnifications of 20x and 40x right out of the box. We offer a range of optional eyepieces and objectives in our eBay store as well. With our optional 20x eyepieces, you can increase the magnification range to 40x & 80x. Threaded auxiliary objective lenses are also available in .5x, 1.5x and 2x powers. With these optional lenses you can use this microscope at 10x, 20x, 30x, 40x, 60x, 80x, 120x and 160x powers.

Ultra-Comfort Ergonomic Microscope Design: This stereo microscope has ergonomic features to make your microscope viewing as comfortable as possible. The main microscope head swivels 360 degrees for viewing from any angle, and the head itself sits at a comfortable 45 degree incline. The eyepieces sit in a gemel type assembly, allowing for maximum flexibility in adjusting the interpupillary distance. The right eyepiece holder includes an independently controlled diopter focusing adjustment, and molded rubber eyecups are provided for your comfort. The focusing knob is on both the right and left side of the scope allowing for easy adjustment with either the right or left hand. Unlike many cheaper stereo microscopes, this model has an internal objective turret. This means you can switch objectives with a simple turn of a knob rather than having to rotate the entire objective turret. In addition, the entire microscope head mounts on a height adjustable base, allowing the entire scope head to be adjusted higher or lower to accommodate very large specimens.

Built-In Dual Halogen Light Source: Most of the 20x - 40x stereo microscopes available have cheap, low-grade lighting. However, this microscope has premium dual built-in infinitely variable halogen lighting. The upper and lower light sources are controlled independently. A unique feature of this microscope is that the upper light can be removed or aimed independently. This enables you to make fine lighting adjustments from above and below the specimen -- a premium feature not available in cheaper models. Spare halogen bulbs are included with your microscope.

Dust Cover and More! This microscope includes a plastic dust cover to keep your microscope in clean dust-free condition. The microscope comes with a frosted glass specimen holder and also a reversible black & white specimen plate. This microscope is compatible with our gem and specimen tweezer clamp (part #827902) and a dark field condenser (part #827901). Both are available in our eBay store.

Trinocular Microscope Port for Imaging: This microscope has a trinocular viewing port to allow for attachments of cameras (included), dual viewing equipment and CCD video. CCD adapters (part #827936) and T-Mount compatible Photo Adapter Tubes (part #827937) are sold separately. We also carry CCD mounted digital cameras in our eBay store.

A Full Featured Professional Digital Microscope Camera: The included Variscope Digital Microscope Camera offers all of the features you would expect from a top-of-the-line digital microscopy set-up. Included with the camera is a fully-functioning software suite enabling you both to view video images of your specimens and to capture still frames. This microscope camera can be used for any digital microscopy application. The camera is ideal both for stereo microscopes and biological compound microscopes

Ideal for Video and Screen Output: This camera uses a 1/2.2" CMOS imaging chip (the same kind used in regular digital cameras) and USB 2.0 to output 2592x1944 pixel images, that's more than 5 Megapixels of information. This ultra high-resolution output is comparable to today's top-of-the-line digital still cameras, and exceeds high-def video. With 5MP you will be able to print poster size images at 150 dpi, and have crystal clear printed images at smaller sizes. Despite the large file sizes, with the USB 2.0 connection, your refresh rate is still 7 frames every second. This is an ideal camera for shooting professional quality images for print applications.

Powerful Microscopy Software: Included with the camera is a comprehensive digital microscopy software editing suite. Compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista, the software outputs files in nearly every graphics format imaginable, including web standard JPEG, GIF and even PhotoShop .psd files. The software allows you to measure angles, add graphics and text, and do color corrections and contrast adjustments right on your PC screen.
