AmScope GM400TZ-10M Digital Trinocular Gemology Stereo Zoom Microscope, WH10x Eyepieces, 3.5X-90X Magnification, 0.7X-4.5X Zoom Objective, Halogen and Fluorescent Lighting, Inclined Pillar Stand, 110V-120V, Includes 0.5X and 2.0X Barlow Lenses, 10MP Camera with Reduction Lens, and Software

Description

The AmScope GM400TZ-10M digital gemology stereo zoom microscope has a pair of
10x super-widefield high-eyepoint eyepieces, a 0.7x-4.5x zoom objective, two
Barlow lenses, and an inclined pillar stand. The 10MP camera has a CMOS color
sensor, a reduction lens, image capture and editing software, and USB 2.0
output to capture or display still or video images on a computer or projector.
The microscope has an overall magnification range of 3.5x-90x. The trinocular
viewing head has an interpupillary range of 55 to 75mm, a 45-degree
inclination to reduce eye and neck strain, and 360-degree rotation to enable
sharing. The trinocular port can be used as a C-Mount or 23mm photo port. The
WH10x20mm widefield high-eyepoint eyepieces combine with the 0.7x-4.5x zoom
objective to provide continuous zoom magnification and a longer working
distance for inspecting large-scale specimens that require handling or repair.
The microscope includes 0.5x and 2.0x Barlow lenses that can be added to the
objective to increase the magnification range. A Barlow lens with a
magnification of less than 1.0 reduces magnification and increases the working
distance, while a Barlow lens with a magnification greater than 1.0 increases
the magnification and reduces the working distance. High-eyepoint eyepieces
ease viewing for users who wear glasses, and dioptric adjustment accommodates
individual eye-strength differences. A digital stereo microscope, sometimes
called an inspection or dissection microscope, has low magnification and a
long working distance that enables users to manipulate the object being
inspected, and is used where image capture, detailed records, or documentation
is required.The 10MP digital camera has a CMOS color sensor for displaying
still microscopy images and streaming live videos to a computer or projector.
The camera has 40x magnification and a 0.5x reduction lens that ensures that
the display has a similar field of view as the microscope eyepiece. The camera
can be mounted in a C-Mount or any 23mm eye tube. The camera includes image
capture and editing software that provides still image and live video capture
and editing capability, including measurement functions. The software supports
JPG, TIF, GIF, PSD, WMF, and BMP file formats and is compatible with Windows
XP, Vista, 7, and 8; Mac OS X; and Linux. Camera drivers are compatible with
Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8; Mac OS X; and Linux. The software includes
Windows APIs for native C/C++, C, DirectShow, Twain, and LabVIEW that enable
custom application development. The camera has a USB 2.0 data port (cable
included).The microscope has upper and lower rheostat-controlled lighting. The
upper (reflected) 7W fluorescent light source is mounted on a gooseneck for
examining surface details. The lower (transmitted) 30W halogen light source
has a built-in darkfield condenser for examining the inside quality of gems.
The inclined pillar stand has a round mechanical stage for measuring gem
angles, a flexible gem clamp to secure gems at any angle. The white stage
plate provides contrast with dark-colored specimens, and the frosted stage
plate allows light to illuminate specimens from below. The inclined pillar
stand can be inclined to 38 degrees. It has a round mechanical stage for
measuring gem angles, a flexible gem clamp to secure gems at any angle. The
white stage plate provides contrast with dark-colored specimens, and the
frosted stage plate allows light to illuminate specimens from below.

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.United Scope manufactures microscopy equipment and
accessories under the brand name AmScope. The company, founded in 1996, is
headquartered in Irvine, CA.What’s in the Box?GM400TZ-10M stereo zoom
