Omegon MonoView MicroStar 20x-1280x Microscope
The Omegon MonoView MicroStar is a biological monocular microscope designed to be ready for serious observation straight out of the box. Its magnification range of 20x to 1280x covers the needs of complete beginners as well as more experienced biology students. A triple-objective revolving nosepiece with 4x, 10x and 40x objectives, two eyepieces (5x and 16x) and a 2x Barlow lens let you select precisely the right magnification for each sample. The all-metal construction means the microscope handles daily use at school or at home without any risk of damage.
Comfortable viewing and precise focusing
The Omegon MonoView MicroStar features a rotating eyepiece head that lets you adjust the viewing angle without moving the whole instrument. The specimen holder with a mechanical stage ensures accurate and smooth focusing - you will especially appreciate this when working with thin sections or small organisms, where every micrometre matters. Both upper and lower LED illumination allow you to observe transparent and opaque specimens alike, so the microscope is not limited to just one type of sample.
Built-in 1.3 MPx digital camera
The microscope comes with a 1.3 MPx camera - a digital eyepiece that connects directly to a PC. In practice, this means you can transfer the live image to a monitor, save it as a photograph or share it for teaching purposes. Students can compare specimens side by side, and teachers can project the image to the whole class. This feature significantly extends the usefulness of the microscope in a standard classroom setting and makes it much more than just an optical instrument.
Complete accessory kit - start observing immediately
The MicroStar comes with a generous set of accessories so you can begin straight away. Six colour filters help highlight fine details in specimens and improve contrast. The kit also includes everything you need to prepare your own slides as well as ready-made specimen samples - an ideal starting point for anyone new to microscopy. Everything is stored in a sturdy carry case that makes transport and safe storage of the complete set easy.
Ideal for school and home use
Thanks to this comprehensive equipment, the MicroStar is an excellent school and educational microscope for primary and secondary school pupils. It is equally at home as a reliable instrument for anyone who wants to explore the world at a scale the naked eye can never reach.
