Professional Optics in Split, Croatia, offers this exceptional microscope, providing the tools for discovery with competitive EU pricing and fast, reliable shipping.Core Optical System: Clarity and PrecisionAt the heart of the CAMPUS-2 is a sophisticated optical path designed for high-resolution imaging. The system is built around four DIN achromatic objectives (4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x oil-immersion) that deliver crisp, high-contrast images with minimal color distortion across the entire field of view. Paired with two 10x wide-field (WF) eyepieces, the microscope provides a powerful magnification range of 40x, 100x, 400x, and 1000x. The 360° revolving binocular head allows for comfortable, shared viewing and is adjustable for interpupillary distance, ensuring an ergonomic experience for any user.Precision Illumination and Contrast ControlProper illumination is critical for microscopy, and the CAMPUS-2 excels with a fully controllable system.Bright LED Light: A variable-intensity 0.5W LED provides bright, cool, and daylight-balanced transmitted light.Abbe Condenser & Iris Diaphragm: A professional-grade Abbe condenser with an iris diaphragm allows the user to precisely control the cone of light hitting the specimen, which is essential for optimizing contrast, depth of field, and resolution.Filter Holder: The integrated filter holder includes four color filters (orange, white, light blue, green) to enhance the visibility of specific, stained, or low-contrast specimens.Mechanical Stage and Focusing MechanismSpecimen manipulation is seamless and precise thanks to the professional-grade mechanical components.Movable Stage: A generous, graduated stage features coaxial Vernier controls for smooth and accurate X-Y axis movement, allowing you to systematically scan a slide.Dual-Speed Focusing: Coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs provide rapid initial focusing and exceptionally precise micro-adjustments, critical for achieving perfect sharpness at high magnifications.Safety Stop: A built-in end-stop prevents the objective from crashing into and damaging slides, protecting your valuable specimens and optics.Unmatched Versatility: Power and PortabilityA standout feature of the CAMPUS-2 is its dual power capability. It can be operated corded with the included AC power adapter for permanent lab setups or cordlessly using three rechargeable AAA batteries, making it perfect for fieldwork, presentations, or use in locations without convenient power outlets. The entire assembly is housed in a robust, all-metal frame for maximum stability and durability.Technical SpecificationsFeatureSpecificationMicroscope TypeBiological Binocular CompoundHead360° Revolving Binocular, Interpupillary AdjustmentEyepiecesTwo 10x Wide-Field (WF)ObjectivesDIN Achromatic: 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x (Oil)Magnifications40x, 100x, 400x, 1000xFocusingCoaxial Coarse and Fine Focusing KnobsStageGraduated Mechanical Stage with X-Y Vernier ControlsIllumination0.5W LED with Intensity RegulationCondenser1.25 N.A.

Immersion oil has the same refractive index as glass, so it creates a continuous optical path. By placing a drop of oil to "bridge" this gap, you prevent refraction, allowing the objective to capture more light and resolve much finer details, which is essential for viewing bacteria or cellular structures.What is the benefit of an adjustable Abbe condenser with an iris?The Abbe condenser focuses the light from the illuminator onto the specimen. By raising or lowering it and opening or closing the iris diaphragm, you control the angle and intensity of the light cone. Closing the iris increases contrast and depth of field (ideal for unstained specimens), while opening it provides higher resolution and brightness (ideal for stained, detailed specimens). This adjustability is a key feature of professional microscopes that gives you complete control over your image quality...

Konus TOPAZ 3.5x Prismatic Microscope: Precision Optics for Hands-On ProfessionalsThe Konus TOPAZ 3.5x Prismatic Microscope is a specialized optical tool engineered for professionals who require high-precision magnification without sacrificing workspace or maneuverability. Unlike traditional benchtop models, this head-mounted prismatic microscope delivers superior stereoscopic vision and an exceptional 400mm working distance, providing unparalleled freedom for intricate, hands-on tasks in jewelry making, dental labs, and electronics repair.Core Technical SpecificationsParameterValueOptical SystemPrismatic BinocularMagnificationFixed 3.5xWorking Distance (W.D.)400mm (approx. 15.7 inches)Field of View50mmInterpupillary Adjustment55mm to 75mmDiopter AdjustmentIndependent for each eyeMounting SystemAdjustable, padded headbandOpticsHigh-quality coated glass prismsConstructionLightweight, durable polymer housingSuperiority Over Desktop MicroscopesThe Konus Topaz prismatic microscope offers distinct operational advantages over conventional desktop microscopes, making it the superior choice for dynamic, hands-on work.Unrestricted Workspace: The standout feature is the 400mm working distance. This vast space between the objective lens and the workpiece allows unrestricted use of tools like soldering irons, engraving pens, or dental instruments. Desktop microscopes typically offer a fraction of this distance, severely limiting tool access and maneuverability.Complete Freedom of Movement: The head-mounted design allows you to move naturally around your subject. You are not fixed in one position, hunched over a stationary eyepiece. This is ideal for working on large, irregularly shaped, or fixed objects that cannot be placed on a small microscope stage.Enhanced Ergonomics: By wearing the microscope, you eliminate the neck and back strain associated with prolonged use of a traditional microscope. The adjustable headband ensures a comfortable fit, allowing for hours of use without fatigue, which directly translates to improved focus and precision.True Stereoscopic Vision: The prismatic optical system delivers a true three-dimensional image with excellent depth perception. This is critical for tasks that require judging distances and manipulating small components accurately.Field Performance & ApplicationsThe unique combination of magnification, working distance, and wearability makes the Konus Topaz indispensable across several professional fields:Jewelry & Engraving: Allows for detailed setting, polishing, and engraving work with ample room for all necessary tools.Dental Laboratories: Ideal for crafting and inspecting dental prosthetics, crowns, and bridges, where precision and depth perception are critical.Electronics Assembly & Repair: Perfect for soldering and inspecting Surface-Mount Devices (SMD) and other miniature components on circuit boards.Fine Art & Artifact Restoration: Provides the magnification needed for delicate restoration work without the risk of touching the object with the microscope itself.Watchmaking: Enables clear viewing of intricate watch movements during assembly and repair.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)Q: Can I wear the Konus Topaz microscope with my prescription glasses?A: Yes, the design allows it to be worn over most prescription glasses. The independent diopter adjustment for each eye also helps compensate for minor vision differences.Q: Is the 3.5x magnification sufficient for very fine work?A: A 3.5x magnification is the industry standard for most detailed manual tasks. It provides a perfect balance between a detailed view and a wide enough field of view (50mm) to maintain situational awareness of the surrounding work area.Q: How do I adjust the focus?A: Focus is achieved by moving your head slightly closer to or further from the object. The extremely long working distance and depth of field make focusing intuitive and less sensitive than with high-power desktop microscopes.Q: Is the headband comfortable for long sessions?A: Yes, the headband is fully adjustable and features padding. Its lightweight construction is engineered to distribute weight evenly, minimizing pressure and allowing for comfortable use over extended periods.Q: How does this differ from simple loupes or magnifiers?A: Unlike basic magnifiers, the Konus Topaz uses a sophisticated prismatic system that provides a true stereoscopic (3D) image. This is essential for depth perception, which single-lens magnifiers cannot offer.This professional-grade optical instrument is available through Professional Optics in Split, Croatia.
