The AUC-227 Series combines reliable finite optics, an ergonomic design and a compact yet rigid microscope frame. Its straightforward controls and clear images make it particularly suitable for students, education and routine laboratory microscopy.
Six configurations are available, combining monocular, binocular or trinocular viewing with either achromatic or plan achromatic objectives.
The standard 3 W LED illumination provides significantly brighter illumination than many entry-level educational microscopes. An optional rechargeable battery compartment enables the microscope to be used where mains power is unavailable or unreliable.
