Microscope PCE-MM 200
USB microscope for real time visualization and documentation of images on a computer, up to 200x magnification, 1280 x 1024 pixels

The PCE-ME 200 USB microscope shows objects in real time on a computer display and can magnify them up to 200x. The four LEDs provide a light source from the above the object to ensure that there is sufficient illumination from all angles to give an image that is brilliant and clear. Use this microscope to accurately analyse tiny details or provide a general view of plants, small organisms or a wide range of other objects. The USB microscope allows for an observation of changes that would not be visible to the human eye and record these as images or video sequences. The microscope is perfect for working in the areas of science, education, investigation of surfaces and objects in general, or for hobby . As images are shown on the computer display, it's ideal for producing documents and presentations for a wider audience, such as in classrooms. If you need a pen-shaped pocket microscope to carry around, you can see it in the following link. Besides, this microscope has up to 100 magnifications and it has one click to fix it. However, if what you need is a microscope with a magnification up to 140 magnifications  with software, click here, or a microscope of  binocular table with up to 2000 magnification and light transmission you can see here. If you need is a reflected light microscope with a rotating lens up to 400 magnifications  you can see this link. If you need is a monocular microscope of reflected light that allows you to adjust the brightness, you can directly see the link. This link has an overview where you will find the microscope that best suits your needs at work. Should you have any questions, please contact us.

With the use of this microscope two determining  errors may often occur:

• A too high adjustment of the microscope .

For the observation of sections of simple and transparent objects, a magnification between 50x and 300x is enough. Only for the observation of objects cut with a microtome and therefore very thin, an magnification is desirable. Also very high magnifications (x 1,000 and greater) are used for monitoring blood tests.

• The preparation deteriorates with a false lens adjustment.

With higher magnifications, you can adjust the clarity first briefly before the objective is affected by the preparation. Therefore, for a proper adjustment, the closed lens is led on the preparation. Then you can see with the lens and carefully adjust the clarity.

Also keep in mind when using the microscope, the different characteristics of microscope objectives because that we have a better picture of the samples that are to observe and study under the microscope depends on them. What follows is a brief list of such characteristics of microscope objectives such as:

• The scale of reproduction is the linear relationship between the size of the object and its image, such as 4:1, 40:1, ...

• The defining power with respect to the ability of the objectives of the microscope to form images with sharp outlines.

• The limit of resolution is the smallest distance that must exist between the two objects that can be displayed separately.

• The power of penetration, which is what allows simultaneous observation of several planes of the sample under the microscope,  is inversely proportional to the scale of reproduction or growth.

• The front distance is the distance of the front lens to the sample placed on the microscope stage, when focused, will decrease when increasing the scale of reproduction of the target.

• We should note that the ocular piece of the microscope also has a magnification, so the total magnification of the image that we are observing with the microscope is the product of the magnification of the objective and the ocular piece.
