Frequently asked questions
Is a mechanical stage included?
The availability of a mechanical stage depends on the configuration you choose. The Unico M220 offers flexible options for precise specimen control:
- Microscope with Mechanical Stage (M220FLM): This configuration includes a mechanical stage pre-installed, offering precise X-Y movement for your slides.
- Microscope with Plain, Tapped Stage (M220FL): This configuration features a basic plain stage. However, the stage is drilled and tapped, meaning you can easily add an optional mechanical stage accessory later if needed.
Is this microscope optimized for high school biology?
Yes, the Unico M220 Fluorescent Monocular Microscope is specifically designed and engineered to meet the rigorous demands of High School Biology curricula. It features a robust, durable, and reliable build intended for a long service life in structured laboratory environments.
Are the microscope objectives parfocal and parcentered?
Yes, the Unico M220 Fluorescent Monocular Microscope is parfocal and parcentered.
Does the microscope offer flexible stage options?
Yes, the Unico M220 is designed to accommodate different lab requirements with two stage configurations:
- Plain, Tapped Stage: This is the standard, durable choice. It is pre-drilled and tapped, allowing you to easily add an optional mechanical stage at any time if your needs change.
- Mechanical Stage: This configuration comes with the mechanical stage pre-installed. It is ideal for students who need enhanced control, as it allows for precise, fine-tuned movement of specimens across the slide for more detailed observation.
Does it include high-quality fluorescent illumination?
Yes, the Unico M220 is specifically equipped with a dedicated Fluorescent Illumination system. This specialized lighting is a core feature, making the microscope ideal for specialized viewing often required in High School Biology applications.
The illumination components include:
- A powerful 7 Watt Fluorescent Bulb.
- An NA 0.65 Condenser for light gathering.
- A 5-Hole Disc Diaphragm that provides precise control over contrast and clarity when viewing specimens.
Is the fluorescent illumination suitable for high school use?
Yes, the Unico M220 is specifically engineered for High School Biology applications, making its fluorescent illumination system highly suitable for educational settings. The instrument features a robust build quality designed for durability and reliable classroom use.
Key features of the illumination system include:
- 7 Watt Fluorescent bulb which provides consistent and specialized lighting for specimen viewing.
- Light is controlled using an NA 0.65 Condenser and a 5-Hole Disc Diaphragm, enabling precise adjustments for contrast and brightness.
What is the maximum magnification?
The Unico M220 provides a maximum total magnification of 400x.
This magnification is achieved by combining the standard 10x Wide Field (WF) eyepiece with the highest power 40x objective lens.
The microscope includes three objective lenses, providing the following total magnification settings suitable for High School Biology use:
- 40x (10x eyepiece x 4x objective)
- 100x (10x eyepiece x 10x objective)
- 400x (10x eyepiece x 40x objective)
Additionally, all optics are manufactured to be parfocal and parcentered, which helps ensure the image remains focused and centered when transitioning between different objective powers.
Does this microscope have a durable build?
Yes, the Unico M220 is specifically engineered for durability and reliability. It is built using robust, laboratory-grade construction designed to offer long-term performance and a significant service life. This makes it an ideal instrument for rigorous institutional use, such as High School Biology classrooms.
What type of focusing mechanism does it use?
The Unico M220 Fluorescent Monocular Microscope features a Coarse/Fine focusing mechanism, allowing for precise and easy adjustments to view your specimens.
Which essential accessories are included?
The Unico M220 is shipped with key accessories for convenience, protection, and proper usage in educational environments:
- Dust Cover: Ensures the sensitive optics and microscope body are protected from dust and debris when stored.
- Arm-Mounted Cord Wrap: Allows for neat organization of the power cord, preventing tangling.
- Instruction Manual: Provides comprehensive guidance for setting up, operating, and maintaining the instrument.
