The Auckland Scientific AUC-237 series combines an infinity-corrected optical system with wide-field PL10×/22mm eyepieces and infinity plan achromatic objectives. It provides clear, flat-field images with excellent resolution across a generous 22mm field of view.
Its ergonomic design, low-position focusing controls, large mechanical stage and adjustable LED Köhler illumination make the AUC-237 suitable for routine laboratory work, teaching and higher-level biological microscopy.
Choose the binocular AUC-237B for direct visual observation or the trinocular AUC-237BT for visual observation and camera imaging. The trinocular model is supplied with an adjustable 0.5× C-mount adapter.
