BRESSER Stereo Microscope Advance ICD 10x-160x Zoom with MikroCam MINI Full HD HDMI Microscope Camera

High-quality complete set for precise analyses and sharp image transmission: This powerful set combines the Advance ICD stereo microscope with the advanced MikroCam Mini HDMI, as well as a 0.5x reduction lens. It is ideally suited for detailed observations and documenting work results.


The microscope in detail

The BRESSER Advance ICD is suitable as a zoom stereo loupe for a wide range of observations. Objects appear three-dimensional and lifelike through the Greenough design with two inclined objectives. The 3D image also makes working with tools (e.g. preparing, dissecting, soldering) much easier.
The zoom allows stepless adjustment of magnification with a zoom factor of 4.0 (1x-4x). Only minimal refocusing is needed when zooming. For this, the Advance ICD has a coaxial focus drive with coarse and fine adjustment. This allows particularly sensitive focusing, especially at high magnifications or for photography. The fine focus is also a great aid for focus stacking, e.g. with our MikroCam cameras (optional).

The interpupillary distance is individually adjustable. Both eyepiece holders have a dioptre adjustment, allowing differences in visual acuity of up to approx. 8 dpt between the left and right eye to be compensated. The 10x widefield eyepieces with a field number of 22 are equipped with removable rubber eyecups. The microscope head can be adjusted very far in height on the stand rod. This allows very large objects up to an object height of approx. 22 cm to be observed.
The bright LED incident light illumination is adjustable in its tilt. The particularly even and bright LED transmitted light illumination provides a homogeneous background for transmitted light specimens. The illumination can be set with a toggle switch, so incident and transmitted light can be used separately or together depending on the type of sample. You can conveniently control the brightness with the dimmer. The bright LED illumination produces no heat, so living samples can be safely observed over a longer period. A low-power 5V power adapter (with Euro and UK adapter) is used to power the long-lasting LED illumination. The power cable has a USB connector on one side.

The Advance ICD can be used in many ways due to the large magnification range. In addition to the included 2x auxiliary lens, further additional objectives are available, allowing you to vary and adapt the magnification range, working distance and depth of field even further to your requirements.

These magnifications are possible in the basic configuration:
10x eyepieces: 10x - 40x
10x eyepieces plus 2x auxiliary lens: 20x - 80x
20x eyepieces: 20x - 80x
20x eyepieces plus 2x auxiliary lens: 80x - 160x

(further magnifications possible with optional additional objectives or eyepiece magnifications)

The third tube is designed for connecting a camera. A switch deflects the image from the left objective to the camera tube. Various adapters and reduction optics are available for C-mount cameras and DSLR or system cameras, so practically all cameras with removable lenses can be connected.

The microscope camera in detail

The MikroCam MINI Full HD HDMI is a particularly compact HDMI camera. A PC or laptop is not required to operate the camera; you can simply connect the MikroCam MINI Full HD HDMI to an existing monitor, TV, projector or smartboard. This makes it ideal for use in teaching. Alternatively, a small BRESSER monitor can also be mounted directly on the camera (see item no. 5914120).

The HDMI connection is easy to make and the camera is ready for use immediately. No software installation, PC setup etc. is necessary. Thanks to the lossless data transmission, very good image quality is achieved and the image always has a consistently high frame rate of 60 fps and is delay-free. This is particularly advantageous when a microscope workstation is to be digitised, e.g. in quality control or production.

The supplied USB mouse is connected for control. This allows the three menus (camera settings, measurement* and display) to be controlled.
*To perform measurements with the camera, a calibration slide is required (e.g. item no.: 5916710 or 5916720).
The camera is also very suitable for presentations, as it operates in automatic mode when the mouse is not connected. The menus and mouse pointer are then not visible.

Please note that a direct PC connection is not possible. An HDMI to USB video capture device is required for this. The USB port is only for controlling the camera with the mouse.
