The Revelation XSP-06-1600X Microscope is a research quality instrument aimed at the serious observer who expects greater flexibility and functionality with their macro exploration. The Revelation XSP-06-1600X Microscope boasts a solid, all metal construction with a range of features that encourage, not punish the inexperienced. The smooth rack-and-pinion focus system possesses a slip clutch and focus stop mechanism to prevent over focussing and damage to the objective lens and glass slides. The mechanical stage enables precise location of glass slides via x and y axis controls. A range of 9 magnifications are achievable by means of switching between the three (5x, 10x and 16x power) eyepieces and the three (10x, 40x and an oil immersion 100x power) objective lens'. (Oil is included for the 100x lens) Subject illumination is accomplished by the use of a tilting mirror, located beneath the slide stage.
