This is a brand new, factory sealed, Variscope Series 858 microscope: 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.

Premium Features for High Quality Stereoscopic Imaging: This microscope is designed for professional grade viewing of a wide range of specimens. This microscope is manufactured with a .8x to 4.0x stereo zoom objective made from premium ground optical glass. Used in conjunction with the included ultra-wide field 10x (20mm) stereo eyepieces, you can achieve a continuous zoom magnification range of 8x through 40x right out of the box. We offer a range of optional eyepieces and objectives in our our eBay store as well. With our optional 20x eyepieces, you can increase the continuous magnification range from 16x to 80x. Threaded auxiliary objective lenses are also available in .5x, 1.5x and 2x powers for even more options with a maximum range of 4x to 160x magnification possible.

Ergonomic Microscope Design / Heavy-Duty Industrial Boom Mount: This is a professional grade boom stand that is designed to be completely stable even when extended to its outer range. The 10 x 9.5 inch base piece alone weighs over 24 pounds and is stable as a rock. This stereo microscope also 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. There are dual diopter focusing adjustments, 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 zoom microscopes, this model allows for the continuous zoom range to be adjusted from either the left or the right side. 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. A plastic dust cover large enough to cover the entire microscope when mounted on the boom is included.

Optional Lights Are Available: We offer several microscope lighting options with this microscope in our eBay store. A simple adjustable fluorescent bulb ring light (part #834701) adds cool white light directly on the specimen. We also offer 100,000 hour life LED bulb ring lights in various configurations and intensities, for ultra-bright, low-heat lighting options. For temperature sensitive applications, we recommend a single or dual gooseneck fiber optic light system, also available in our eBay store.
