The Levenhuk 50L NG teaching biological microscope.
This excellent biological microscope is ideal for use in schools or colleges as well as for your own research of microworld.
- Superb production quality: body and elements are all metal, not plastic.
- Focusing mechanism and stage move smoothly, without jerks or backlash.
- Rotatable head can be fixed in any position, which makes observation much more convenient.
- Eyepieces, objectives and all other optical elements are multi-coated and highly transparent.
All this provides the extremely high image quality and long microscope life without any special maintenance.
Magnification
Magnification depends on the objectives (located below) and eyepieces (located above) being used.
The set includes two eyepieces and three objectives as well as Barlow lens, which allows to smoothly change the magnification ratio.
- Eyepieces: WF10x, WF16x
- Objectives: 4x, 10x and 40x
- Barlow lens: 2x
Minimum magnification: Eyepiece 10x * Objective 4x = 40x
Maximum magnification: Eyepiece 16x * Objective 40x = 640x, and with Barlow lens magnification smoothly reaches 640*2.0 = 1280x
Illumination
This microscope is distinguished by an important feature - two illumination systems with adjustable brightness. Built-in illumination is LED, which ensures minimal energy consumption yet still providing sufficient light.
Illumination systems are located above and below the stage, and allow observing both transparent and opaque objects: from tiny solid particles to coins, paper, fabrics, etc. (It would be fascinating to observe a mobile phone screen - actually, each pixel consists of three segments, red, green and blue.)
Power supply
The microscope features an AC adapter, for stationary observations without batteries.
Caution: Please refer to the specifications table for the correct mains voltage and never attempt to plug a 110V device into 220V outlet and vice versa without using a converter. Remember that mains voltage in the U.S. and Canada is 110V and 220-240V in most European countries.

- Objectives: 4x, 10x, 40x
- Two eyepieces: WF10x, WF16x

what's Artemia? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Artemia is a brine shrimp, a genus of aquatic crustaceans.
(2015-10-28 10:33):

Hello! Does the manual include detailed instructions on how to grow brine shrimp? Will I be able to observe simple organisms such as infusoria? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Unfortunately, the user guide does not include detailed instructions on this process, but you can easily find this information on the Internet. Yes, infusoria is perfectly seen through this microscope.
(2015-01-11 01:12):

Do you sell objectives for this model? Can I install an objective from another microscope? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Unfortunately, we do not have additional objectives for this microscope in the product range. Objectives from different manufacturers may be suitable, but testing is required to tell for sure.
(2014-12-19 08:55):

Can I see the blood cells with this microscope? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Using Levenhuk 50L NG Amethyst Microscope you can see the blood cells, but the image won't be detailed. For detailed observation we recommend Levenhuk 320 Biological Microscope - http://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/microscopes/levenhuk-320/.
(2014-12-12 09:40):

this microscope provides 1280x magnification with camera? Or without it? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Levenhuk 50L NG Amethyst Microscope provides optical magnification of 1280x, i.e. without a camera. Digital camera in not included in the kit with this microscope model. Please, take a closer look at Levenhuk D50L NG Digital Microscope - http://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/microscopes/levenhuk-d50l-ng/.
(2014-11-30 06:35):

Hello! I'd like to know what's the difference between Levenhuk 50L NG Amethyst and Levenhuk 3L NG microscopes? tnx Levenhuk Customer Service:
Levenhuk 50L NG Amethyst Microscope features higher magnification that ranges from 40x to 1280x.
(2014-10-23 02:44):

Will bacteria be visible through this microscope? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Amateur microscopes do not allow you to observe bacteria, because most bacteria are too small and can be seen only under 1200x magnification and the sample has to be stained. So you will need an advanced instrument and special sample preparation methods. We recommend that you consider this model: Levenhuk 320 Biological Microscope - http://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/microscopes/levenhuk-320/.
(2014-10-17 10:07):

Do you have any discounts on this product or maybe you are planning any price reduction in the near future? Levenhuk Customer Service:

How does Barlow lens look like? On the pic I can only see 10x and 16x eyepieces… Levenhuk Customer Service:
The Barlow lens is inside the eyepiece tube. You can see it on this image: http://www.levenhuk.com/images/products/large/0/levenhuk_40L_barlowlens.jpg
(2014-03-11 04:48):

Need help. Can I equip it with 60x objective? I'd also like to know if this model is appropriate for high school. Or is it better to purchase something more advanced, with immersion objectives and everything? Levenhuk Customer Service:
Unfortunately 60x objectives are not supported in Levenhuk 50L NG Amethyst Microscope. It depends on the purpose, if your purpose requires immersion objectives, take a look at the Levenhuk 320 biological microscope: http://www.levenhuk.com/products/microscope_levenhuk_320/
