Biological Microscope

Product Code : SCL125/1.11

Biological Microscope (Product Code: SCL125/1.11) is a compound microscope that magnifies over 400 times, fitted with an ocular (eyepiece), three objectives and a light for illuminating the specimen. It lets students move from whole-leaf and insect observation to cells, tissues and micro-organisms on prepared or freshly mounted slides. Schools comparing a compound microscope in India for biology practicals can order it directly from Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, which manufactures it.

Typical Use

A compound microscope has two sets of lenses: the ocular that you look through and the objective near the specimen. Total magnification is the ocular power multiplied by the objective power — for example, a 10X ocular with a 4X objective gives 40X. Students start on the low power objective to find and centre the specimen, then rotate the turret to higher powers to see detail such as onion-skin cells, cheek cells, stomata or pond organisms. This makes it a core item of biology lab equipment supplied in India for secondary and senior classes.

A useful class exercise is measuring the field of view: place a transparent metric ruler under the low power objective, focus on the scale and read the diameter of the visible circle in millimetres. At high power the field is often too small to measure directly, which demonstrates that the higher the magnification, the smaller the field of view. Always focus upwards away from the slide at high power, cover the instrument after use and carry it with one hand under the base.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum magnification?
The microscope magnifies over 400 times. Total magnification is always the ocular power multiplied by the objective in use.

How many objectives does it have, and what are their powers?
It has three objectives on a rotating turret. The individual objective and eyepiece powers are not listed in our current details; contact us for the full configuration.

What type of light source is fitted?
The microscope is supplied with light for illuminating the specimen. We will confirm the lamp type and power supply on request.

How do students measure the field of view?
Place a transparent metric ruler under the low power objective, focus on the scale and read the diameter of the visible circle in millimetres.

How should the lenses be cleaned?
Blow off dust first, then wipe gently with lens tissue. Avoid ordinary paper or cloth, which can scratch the lens surfaces.

Is a calibration certificate or warranty provided?
Calibration documentation and warranty terms are discussed with each quotation; please ask our team.

Can you equip a whole biology lab?
Yes. Tell us the product code SCL125/1.11, the number of microscopes and the delivery location; we supply India and international markets.
