National Optical 420 Stereo Zoom Microscope 10-40x

This National Optical model 420 stereo zoom microscope is a top-of-the-line scope with professional features and construction! You get superb optics that provide an upright, unreversed three-dimensional image which remains in focus throughout the zoom range. You'll appreciate the convenience and versatility of viewing a large image at 10x magnification and then zooming continuously all the way to close-up detail at 40x magnification, simply by turning the head-mounted knob.

The deluxe stereoscopic head has paired widefield 10x inclined eyepieces and it rotates 360° for viewing ease. Each eyepiece has a diopter to correct for vision differences with your eyes and interpupillary adjustment to perfectly match the distance between your eyes. The objective lens fully adjusts from 1x to 4x by rotating the magnification adjustment knob.

Other features include smooth and solid rack and pinion focusing, slip clutch, tension adjustment, a large stable base, and extra rugged construction. The post-mount design provides ultimate flexibility in how the microscope is used, allowing larger specimens to be placed off the stage. The illumination system has top incidental 15-watt ultra-bright halogen light with directional and rheostat control and a bottom 5-watt cool fluorescent light. Light switches mounted on the base allow you to choose between using top or bottom lighting only or both at the same time. This microscope comes with rubber eyeshields, a dust cover and a user’s manual. National Optical Model 420-430PHF-10, lifetime warranty. Ages 12 & up.
