Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Meade Model 9600 biological microscope provides a virtually endless observational opportunity for the serious amateur microscopist. Similar in design and features to the Model 9460, the Model 9600 includes an important addition: a fully adjustable binocular viewing head that greatly relieves eye strain over extended observing sessions.

Examine specimens with three professional-size, turret-mounted objective lenses of 10x, 40x, and 100x magnifications; each objective lens is seated in a chromed, machined brass housing. In conjunction with eyepieces of 10x and 12.5x the Model 9600 yields effective observing magnifications of 100x, 125x, 400x, 500x, 1000x, and 1250x. Precision coarse-and-fine focusing controls permit extremely sharp focus of the image. The Model 9600's large 110mm x 120mm stage is complemented with micrometric x - y controls that permit 25mm longitudinal and 50mm transverse motions for object-centering. The 360°-rotatable binocular head allows for comfortable interpupillary adjustment; the built-in electric illuminator and diffusion lens, with Abbe-type condenser and iris diaphragm, provide bright, uniform specimen illumination.

As a microscope for the discriminating amateur scientist, or for the school or college biology laboratory, the Meade Model 9600 is designed for a lifetime of serious applications.

Specifications:
Model 9600–Includes 360 degrees -rotatable binocular head with interpupillary distance adjustment; three professional-size, turret-mounted objective lenses (10x, 40x, and 100x); two wide-field eyepieces each of 10x and 12.5x for effective observing magnifications of 100x, 125x, 400x, 500x, 1000x, and 1250x; precision coarse-and-fine rack-and-pinion focusing mechanism; Abbe-type condensing lens system and iris diaphragm; electric illuminator with diffusion lens; specimen stage 110mm x 120mm with micrometric x - y controls (25mm longitudinal, 50mm transverse) for specimen centering; slide set with 5 prepared slides and 5 blank slides.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Scope, January 24, 2004

"mikeylikesit33" (Frederick, md United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Meade 9600 Microscope (Electronics)

I bought it for my wife (the Microbiologist).

She thinks it's great.

Sturdy scope with all the stuff.
Mechanical stage, 20w illuminator, 10X wide field binocular.

Sure you can spend more to get halogen, but unless your buying expensive plan lenses...why bother.

You can upgrade this scope easily also.
