AUC-228 Upright Ergonomic Biological LED Microscope – Viewing Head & Objective Options
The AUC-228 Series is a modern biological microscope designed for college education, medical and laboratory studies. Its ergonomic controls, integrated carrying handle and compact drop-style frame provide comfortable operation while maintaining excellent stability.
Available with monocular, binocular or trinocular viewing and a choice of achromatic or plan achromatic objectives, the AUC-228 can be configured for education, routine laboratory microscopy and more demanding applications requiring improved field flatness.
The adjustable 3 W LED illumination uses a safe low-voltage power input and can be powered from a suitable mains adapter, power bank, laptop or portable power source.
