Microscope with an integral CCTV camera with the equivalent of 420 lines resolution. The image can be displayed on TV or PC via a standard USB connection, and the unit comes complete with a decode unit allowing direct connection to a PC . A very effective unit.
The BMS series of stereomicroscopes is the latest addition to our range of quality low power microscopes. A particular feature of this series is the excellent finish and optical quality that we consider cannot be bettered within this price range.
It has x1/x3 or x2/x4 objective options in a turret mount. The widefield x10 eyepieces provides overall magnification options of x10/x30 and x20/x40. Both options maybe considerably extended or reduced by the use of auxiliary objective lenses (that screw into the bottom of the objective turret) and x15 or x20 additional eyepieces.
The BMSV is a BMS stereomicroscope with an integral CCTV camera that is parfocal with the binocular eyetubes so that the image is in focus for the operator and viewer at the same time. The stand has inbuilt transmitted and incident halogen illumination. The Standard Zoom Lens is x7 to x45 but can be expanded to x3.5 to x80 with additional parts
The video aspects of the BMSV are described on this page. The unit can be attached to a TV/Monitor and a computer either individually or both at the same time.
