Comparison Microscope for Forensic Science ASX-5B

Features

• Great Quality Forensic Comparison Microscope!

• Excellent for Microscopic Examination and Comparison of Two Objects!
• View Both Specimens Side-By-Side Simultaneously on a Single Split-Screen Image!
• Huge Cost Savings!
• Great for use in Criminal Investigation and Forensic Science!
• Includes Polarizer and Analyzer! View your Specimens under Cross Polarization Conditions to Enhance Otherwise
Transparent Surface Features such as Microscopic Scratches! Also Great for Determining if two Specimens Respond
Similarly under Polarization!
• Excellent for Private Investigators, Criminologists, Laboratories, Forensic Investigation, and any of Numerous
Applications where Two Specimens need to be Closely Compared!
• Two Separate Specimens can be Studied Simultaneously with a Split Screen Viewing.
• Instrument Consists of Two Microscopes Combining their Split Images. The Image from one is on the Left Side, and the
other is on the Right Side. Each Microscope has its Own Independent Set of Objectives. The Microscopes Could is set
to the same or Different Magnification Levels.
• Great for Comparison of Fibers, Hair, Bullets, Bullet Cartridge Casings, and Paint Fragments, using the Same Lighting
Conditions and Magnification.
• The Comparison Bridge brings Both the Beam Paths together. The two Images of the Objects under Examination can
be observed in the Field of View in Multiple Ways. They can be observed together, Side-By-Side, Separated by a Thin
Line that can be moved to Either Side Allowing more or Less of Either Object to be viewed. On the Extremes, the Field
of View can show Only the Left Object or Only the Right Object. The Viewing also has the Capability to Overlap the
Images, as well as Control the Amount of Overlapping.
• Special Head has Two Ports! One for Still Camera and One for CCD Video Camera!
• Photograph Your Own Specimens!
• Have Your Own Complete Digital Video Microscopy System!
• Capture Images with Your Computer!
• Display Images on a High Resolution CCTV Monitor or Normal TV!
• Videotape What You See Under the Microscope!
• Versatility - Trinocular Port Greatly Expands the Usefulness adding Photographic/Video Capability!
• Large Range of Magnifications from 3.8x up to 144x.
• Three Eyepiece Sets Included: 10x, 16x, and 25x.
• Five Built-In Objectives (Per Microscope) on Rotary Selector Switches: 0.8x, 1x, 2x, 3x, and 4.8x.
• Microscope Bridge Body Adds to Magnification by Factor of 1.2x.
• 10x Eyepiece Set Magnifications: 9.6x, 12x, 24x, 36x, 58x.
• 16x Eyepiece Set Magnifications: 15x, 19x, 38x, 58x, 92x.
• 25x Eyepiece Set Magnifications: 24x, 30x, 60x, 90x, 144x
• Install the Included 0.4x Bottom Screw-On Reduction Lens to Decrease Magnification! Use this Lens to Obtain Another
Set of Magnifications for Each Eyepiece Set. Lowest Possible Magnification: Use the 10x Eyepiece and Bottom
Reduction Lens: (0.8x Objective)(10x Eyepiece)(1.2 Bridge Factor)(0.4x Bottom Lens) = 3.8x Final Magnification
.Largest Possible Magnification: Use the 25x Eyepiece and Largest Power Objective: (4.8x Objective)(25x
Eyepiece)(1.2 Bridge Factor) = 144x Final Magnification.
• Working Distance Approximately 105mm.

• Adjusts to the Distance Between your Eyes: 55 to 75mm InterPupillary Distance.
• Diopter Adjustment on Both Oculars to Correct for Your Specific Vision Needs.
• Drop-In Filter Holder Slot on Both Halogen Light Sources in Box Enclosures.
• Two Sets of Two Filters Included: Red and Green.
• Both Halogen Light Sources in Box Enclosures have Light Collector Lens with Adjustment Knobs.
• Two Different Light Source Types for Both the Left and the Right Microscope.
• Light Source A: Variable Intensity 12V/50W Halogen Light Source in Box Enclosure.
• Mounted to Segmented Arm with Capability to Illuminate from Various Positions and Angles.

 • This Light Source has Two Separate Locations where it can be Mounted for Maximum Versatility. Mount it Above the
Objectives or on the Bracket Extending from the Stage.
• Includes Mini Built-In Fan for Cooling Light Source.
• This Light Source has the Capability to provide Polarized Light, and Includes the Filter Holder.
• Light Source B: Variable Intensity Fiber Optic Light Source. Lamp Type 12V/50W Halogen.
• Bendable Fiber Optic Cables Deliver Illumination Precisely Where Needed. Adjust the Angle as Needed for Glare
Reduction.
• Coaxial Illumination Attachment: Includes Two Attachments that Screw to Bottom of Objective Housing. Has Opening
on Side to Insert the Tip of the Fiber Optic Cable and a Special Mirror that Reflects the Light Down to Specimen
Providing Coaxial Illumination. The Mirror Allows Light from the Specimen to pass through it and into the Objective.
Coaxial Illumination can be Beneficial for Viewing Deep Holes and also Smooth Surfaces.
• Transmitted Light (Bottom Lighted) Stage Attachment: Includes a Special Device that Provides Lighting Under the
Specimen. Also Known as Transmitted Light Illumination since can be Transmitted through Semi-Translucent Objects.
Great for Examining Film Negatives, Currency Notes, Cartoons, Stamps, Fingerprints, Etc. The Tip of the Fiber Optic
Cable is Ran underneath the Attachment to Provide the Illumination.
• Two Fully Rotatable Mechanical X-Y-Z Movable Stages, 65mm Diameter with Graduation Marks every 2 Degrees for the
Full 360 Degrees.

• Rack and Pinion Steel Gears with Knobs for Both X and Y Movements.
• Ball Socketed Inclinable Stages: Ball Socket Mounted Stages Provides Capability to Incline.
• Vice Type Mechanical Holder Attachments: Great for Holding Objects of Various Diameters, such as Bullets, Coins, and
Industrial/Engineering Materials. Object can be Rotated as well as Inclined for Ease of Examining the Surfaces. Sits
Directly on Stage. Two Included One for Each Stage.
• Focusing Knobs on Both Sides of Microscope.
