The OMAX MD8211E30 adds modern ergonomics to a time-tested design. Fundamental functionality is upgraded with Siedentopf ocular-adjustment, easy-grip coaxial focusing, and a reversed lens-turret for superior space-management. LED illumination provides daylight-balanced light, ideal for digital-imaging using the 3-megapixel integrated camera.

The MD8211 series microscope uses a binocular viewing head. To customize the microscope to your viewing comfort, the eyepiece spacing can be easily adjusted using a precision Siedentopf mechanism. A diopter is available on the left ocular tube to compensate for asymmetry, and the ocular tubes are angled at 45° to accommodate sitting or standing. Various eyepieces can be used to increase the overall optical magnification without changing the camera’s magnification.

This model is intended for applications such as soil examination. Rather than using a 100X objective lens, a 20X lens is included to add an extra intermediate magnification. The objective turret provides instant access to 4 magnification levels to easily focus in on minute details from 40X to 400X. The high-quality lenses are achromatically corrected to improve resolution and color accuracy.

The 2-layer mechanical stage provides smooth and precise movement for examination of specimen slides. The stage’s low-position controls are conveniently placed near the coaxial focus knobs for a streamlined workflow. Variable-intensity LED lighting offers bright, daylight-balanced illumination to produce high-contrast, color-correct images.
