The National Optical & Scientific Instruments 162-P Binocular Compound Oil Immersion Microscope sets itself apart from the series with plan achromatic objectives. These 4x, 10x, 40xR, and 100xR lenses provide 40x, 100x, 400x, and 1000x magnification for accurate views of specimens. A 4-hole nosepiece also ensures that moving between magnifications is easy and precise.
With a 30° inclined binocular head that rotates 360°, the 162-P is also ergonomic and able to be shared with other students or research partners. Additional features, such as halogen illumination and coaxial coarse and fine focusing, also work to provide high-quality viewing. The manufacturer also backs the microscope with a limited lifetime warranty for peace-of-mind.
