The Am T690C-5MA digital compound trinocular micro has
a Siedentopf binocular with interchangeable pairs of 10x
super-widefield and 25x super-widefield eyepieces, a
reverse-ed nosepiece with four DIN infinity objectives,
Brightfield halogen illumination, and a double-layer mechanical
stage with a stage stop to protect slides and objectives from
damage. The 5MP camera has a CMOS color sensor, a reduction lens,
image capture and editing software, and USB 2.0 output to capture
or display still or video images on a computer or projector. The
trinocular head has a vertical camera and a Siedentopf
binocular with interchangeable pairs of WH10x and WH25x
eyepieces, 55 to 75mm Siedentopf interpupillary adjustment, a
fixed 30-degree vertical inclination to reduce eye and neck
strain, and a 360-degree rotation capability to provide a more
comprehensive view and enable sharing. Dioptric adjustment
accommodates individual eye-strength differences. The vertical
trinocular port accepts a camera with a 23mm or C- adapter.
The mechanical tube length is 6-5/16" (160mm). The
reverse-ed revolving nosepiece has 4x, 10x, 40xS, and 100xS
(oil) DIN infinity objectives that provide a longer working
distance for improved focus when auxiliary components are
utilized. The 40xS objective is spring loaded to prevent slide
damage when focusing. The 100xS spring-loaded oil-immersion
objective uses oil between the specimen and the objective lens to
provide increased resolution over a standard objective. A digital
compound micro is used for inspection and dissection of
specimens when two-dimensional images are desired, and where
image capture, detailed records, or documentation is required.
The 5MP digital camera has a CMOS color sensor for displaying
still microscopy images and streaming live videos to a computer
or projector. The camera has 40x magnification and a built-in
0.5x reduction lens that ensures that the display has a similar
field of view as the micro eyepiece. The camera can be
ed in a C/CS- or any 23mm eye tube. The camera includes
image capture and editing software that provides still image and
live video capture and editing. Measurement functions including
length, area, and angle. The software supports JPEG, BMP, TIFF
and RAW, and is compatible with Windows (32- and 64-bit XP,
Vista, 7, and 8), and Mac OS X (32-bit). Camera drivers are
compatible with Windows (XP, Vista, 7, and 8), Mac OS X, and
Linux. The camera has a USB 2.0 data port (cable included).
The micro has Brightfield (BF) illumination which allows the
specimen to absorb light, resulting in a dark image on a light
background. Halogen light source provides bright light in a
concentrated path, and a Kohler condenser focuses and centers the
light path using two iris diaphragms, providing optimum contrast
and resolution. The graduated double-layer mechanical stage, with
1mm stage divisions, locks the slide into place and provides
precise slide manipulation along the X- and Y-axis to allow
coordinates to be recorded, enabling the viewer to return to a
specific location on the slide. A stage stop prevents the stage
or specimen from coming into contact with the objectives. The
stage is 7.1 x 5.9 inches (180 x 150mm) and a traveling range of
3 x 2 inches (75 x 50mm). Graduated coaxial coarse and fine focus
has a focusing range of 1-3/16" (30mm) and fine-focus divisions
of 0.002mm (0.0000787") that enable measurements to be taken.
Focus knob tension control prevents the stage from drifting out
of focus. The cast-alloy enamel-coated body is durable and
resistant to stains and corrosion.

Micros are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an
object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital.
Compound micros use a compound optical system with an
objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo micros show object
depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital micros are used
to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a
lens. Micros can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or
trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification
abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image.
Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity
of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV),
numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines
resolution. Micros can control magnification through a fixed
focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize
LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control
viewing capabilities. Micros are widely used in education,
lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry,
manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and
veterinary industries.
