The Ample Scientific CM401D Nexcope biological microscope comes with a built-in 1.3 megapixel (MP) camera, and has a trinocular viewing configuration, a 1.25 numerical aperture (NA) Abbe condenser, 3-watt LED illumination, a mechanical stage, and achromatic objectives with magnification options of 4X, 10X, 40X (sealed) and 100X (oil immersion method). This biological microscope enhances object or image resolution, and is commonly used for education and professional applications in medical and veterinary clinics, universities and industrial laboratories.

This microscope features a trinocular viewing configuration with binocular (two) heads to ease eye strain and provide a more comprehensive view, and a third head to connect to an external monitor for an alternative viewing option. The binocular heads are inclined for comfort, and rotate 360 degrees on two axes. The objectives have achromatic lenses to correct for color aberrations. The microscope has a 10X widefield eyepiece magnifier, which locks on to the unit for ease of operation. It has dimmable, 3-watt LED illumination which provides cool, white light at 6,000 kelvin, and a sealed 1.25 NA Abbe condenser for higher resolution. The condenser has rack and pinion gears for dependability. A Coaxial focus control has a large, low drive for ease of maneuverability.

The CM401D Nexcope has a square mechanical stage to provide ease of operation, and two spring-clip slide holders. A reversed nosepiece faces outward, protecting the objectives, and providing stage access. The unit has an all-metal cast body that supports rigorous use, and all removable parts are locked in place for tamper-proof security. The microscope comes with an AC/DC adapter/charger, a white diffusing filter, a dust cover, and a tension control tool. It is ISO 9000-certified.

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 viewing abilities. A trinocular eyepiece is used to output digital images to an internal or external device such as a camera or monitor. 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 use 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.
