Working Purpose / Applications

The MD-1 Dissecting Microscope is suitable for close examination of insects, leaves, crystals, seeds, microorganisms, and small biological structures. It is widely used in school and college laboratories, training centres, and basic research work where low-magnification surface study or dissection is required.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q1. What type of microscope is this, and what kind of work is it visually intended for?
This is a senior dissecting microscope designed for low-magnification observation and manual dissection tasks. The open stage, large viewing lens, and ample working space indicate suitability for examining specimens while handling or cutting them directly.

 

Q2. How does the monocular head affect practical use and comfort?
The monocular head allows observation through a single eyepiece, which is suitable for short to moderate duration work. It works well for demonstrations and routine practical sessions but is not meant for long continuous viewing that requires binocular comfort.

 

Q3. What advantage does the large front viewing lens provide during observation?
The large-diameter front lens offers a wider field of view, allowing users to see more of the specimen at once. This is especially useful during dissections where understanding overall structure and spatial orientation is more important than very high magnification.

 

Q4. What can be understood about the illumination system from the image?
The microscope uses a mirror-based illumination system positioned below the stage. It reflects natural or external light onto the specimen, making it suitable for basic lab environments, though light intensity and direction are not precisely adjustable.

 

Q5. Who should ideally use this microscope based on its visible design?
This microscope is well suited for senior school students, teaching laboratories, and routine biological dissection work. It is not designed for slide-based microscopy, cellular analysis, or advanced diagnostic laboratory applications.

 

Q6. What does the mechanical design suggest about durability and maintenance needs?
The heavy base, simple focusing mechanism, and minimal optical complexity indicate a durable and stable instrument. Maintenance requirements are low and mainly involve regular cleaning of lenses and keeping the mirror and stage free from dust or damage.
