The Evolution® Portable Scientific Field Microscope comprises virtually all features and performance of a full size microscope in a light weight handheld instrument with high quality optics. The microscope features a robust die cast base, metal parts and a padded protective case to ensure it withstands rigorous field use. The Evolution® Portable Scientific Microscope is ideal for forensic scientists, medical professionals, geology and biology field work and mobile laboratories. The standard Evolution® microscope delivers 40x, 100x and 400x magnification
The Evolution® Field Microscope comes in two versions:
- Bright field microscope with 4x, 10x and 40x objectives
- Phase contrast/bright field version with 4x, P10x and P20x objectives.
Optical System
The standard optics features a 10x Widefield eyepiece with an FN of 18mm and a convenient eye point of 15.5mm. The bright field version has a triple nosepiece with 4x, 10x and 40x objectives, with an optional 20x objective available. The phase contrast version also has a triple nosepiece with 4x, P10x and P20x objectives. Focusing knobs are on both sides.
Illumination system
The Evolution® uses a bright LED source for illumination. Advantages are the low voltage (3V, needs only 2 AA batteries, not supplied), low power consumption and long bulb life. The illumination has a built-in condenser and filter holder. A 3V power supply is included with the microscope.
Options
The standard versions of the Evolution® Portable Field Microscope will be suitable for most applications. However to make the microscope more versatile a range of options are available:
- Wide field eye pieces with 15x and 20x magnifications to increase total magnification.
- 20x long working distance bright field objective for optimum 200x magnification
- Mechanical X-Y stage for convenient handling of standard 1"x3" slides
- Blue, Green and Frosted filters
- Polarizing accessory for bright field version
A CCD camera with a C-mount connection can be used when an Eyepeice Coupler (#2290-752) with a Focusable Digital Camera Lens with C-mount thread are installed on the eyepiece.
