Some Specs on the standard setup

• Fully extended, the mounting pole allows about 200 mm between the bottom of the objective lenses and the stage.  The working distance is about 95mm, so subjects of 100mm (about 4 inches) or so in height are permitted.
• At lowest magnification (6.5x) the field of view is 29mm.  This measurement doubles with use of the 0.5x supplementary lens (below).
• At highest magnification (45x) the field of view is 4.3mm.

• Includes light splitting mechanism, so that during photography, the light and image from one eyepiece is diverted to the photo tube, preserving the quality of the image.
• Provides unimpeded viewing while allowing CCD video camera connection.  Threading allows direct connection to our BioVid or EVid cameras.
• Note: The trinocular head cannot be added later to the binocular model, you'll need to make your choice at the time of purchase.
• Regular eyepiece tube and eyepiece are available at addional cost if needed for use with our Photo Mounts. You'll need to order the Eyepiece Tube and Eyepiece if using our Generic "Digital Photo Mount", one of our "SLR Mounts", or if you want another individual to be able to view through the trinocular port.  If you are using one of our "Professional Digital Mounts" you'll only need the Eyepiece Tube.  These items must be ordered with a trinocular head in the order section below.

Optional Lenses

• Eyepieces (10x included standard)
  • 16x ($79)
  • 20x ($99)
  • 25x ($99)

• Supplementary lenses
  • 0.5x ($79)
  • 2.0x ($79)

Supplementary lenses screw in beneath the objectives and can be used in combination with eyepieces, which just drop in place.

Supplementary lenses affect working distance (the space between the lens and the in-focus object) while eyepieces do not.

Here is how various combinations of lenses affect working distance, magnification, and width of field:

Supplementary Lens:	Used with Eyepieces:	Yields zoom range...			and Width of Field range (in mm)
None	10x	6.5	to	45x	29	to	4.3
(95mm	16x	10.4	to	72x	23.5	to	3.6
working	20x	13	to	90x	17.5	to	3
distance)	25x	16.25	to	112.5x	13	to	2
0.5x	10x	3.2	to	22.5x	59	to	9.5
(160mm	16x	5.1	to	36x	43.5	to	7.2
working	20x	6.5	to	45x	35	to	5.7
distance)	25x	8	to	84.4x	25	to	4
2.0x	10x	13	to	90x	16	to	2.5
(28mm	16x	20.8	to	144x	11	to	2
working	20x	26	to	180x	9	to	1.3
distance)	25x	32.5	to	225x	6.5	to	1
