The Thomas Digital Stereo Microscopes have a built-in 8.5mm (1/3") digital camera with a charge-coupled-device (CCD), trinocular viewing head with secondary monocular phototube inclined at 45-degrees (can be used by second viewer or the camera), a 20mm 10x widefield lens, and standard achromatic objectives. These instruments have incident and transmitted halogen illumination provided by an upper 12V, 15W bulb and a lower 12V, 10W bulb, both with intensity control. These microscopes have a working distance of 80mm without auxiliary objectives, and a continuous zoom range of 1x to 4x requires no refocusing through the entire magnification range. A built-in capture card converts an analog to digital signal for viewing on either a standard video monitor or computer. The microscopes also include a stage and stage clips, a USB plug, and image processing and analyzing software. These models offer a choice of two base sizes: a space-saving base that is 2 x 6 3/4 x 9 3/8" (H x W x D) and a larger working platform that is 2 1/4 x 10 3/4 x 12 3/4" (H x W x D). (H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) The body is constructed of rugged, die-cast metal. Stereo microscopes create three-dimensional images and are used for education, biological sciences, and manufacturing applications, among others. Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound microscopes use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo microscopes show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital microscopes are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries. Thomas Scientific manufactures instruments, equipment, supplies, and chemicals for laboratory and scientific applications. The company, founded in 1900, is headquartered in Swedesboro, NJ.
