Meiji Microscopes

Elementary / Compound / Advanced Compound

The Meiji TM200 Series (shown here) includes a practical range of academic microscopes that can stand up to heavy classroom punishment.  They are an affordable "student proof" microscope designed to meet or exceed laboratory requirements for science teaching programs. The Meiji TM200 microscope is available in a variety of junior high school, high school and college models.  Each is priced to fit your budget without sacrificing the important features you really need.

General Features:

-Vertical and Inclined models.  Inclined models offer an eyepiece inclined 45°.  Vertical models feature an inclination joint in the base.

-Safety-set eyepiece, illuminator and mirror.  Optical and mechanical components are locked-in to prevent students from removing them.

-Spring-loaded 40X and 100X (oil) objectives retract into their barrel mounts upon contact to protect slides and objectives from damage.

-Rack & pinion focusing to prevent gear damage and to help students produce sharp, crisp images faster and easier.  Also, a lever-type fine adjustment provides worm gear control for smooth fine focusing.

-Choice of either a mirror or a 20 watt illuminator with alloy cast housing finished in chemically resistant paint.

-All TM200 microscopes are pre-drilled and tapped to easily accept attachable mechanical stages.

-Heavy gauge all-metal stand eliminates vibrations.   Rubber foot protects desks from scratching damage.

TM400F Series

The Meiji TM400F Series (seen here) is an advanced teaching microscope with in-base "Super Lite" cool and long life fluorescent illuminator.

General Features:

-Inclined 30° monocular head with 360° rotation and multi-coated high transmission prism.

-Widefield WF10X eyepiece with pointer (15.5mm eyepoint) locked in.

-DIN Achromatic objectives with retractable mount on 20X and above.

-Built-in 0.65 NA condenser with disc diaphragm or 1.25 NA Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm on spiral mount.

-Large stage 119mm x 124mm with locked in stage clips.

-Rapid action coarse focus with rack and pinion and separate lever type fine focus.

-Auto focus stop & slip clutch to prevent rack & pinion damage.

-Coarse focus tension adjustment.

-Triple or quadruple objective changer.

-Rugged, well-balanced stand - 150mm (W), 210mm (D), 320mm (H) with non-slip feet.

-Built-in Super Lite illuminator with extra long life bulb (up to 10,000 hrs.) and a "cool" minimum of heat build-up, with -approved 3 wire grounded cord for 115V operation.

Stereo

Meiji TM420, TM440 and TM450 educational microscopes are modern high-performance instruments equipped with DIN standard S Flat achromatic objectives and widefield eyepieces.  They are specifically designed for student course work and undergraduate use, including monocular and binocular types with separate coarse and fine focusing movement.

The TM420 Monocular student microscope is intended for ordinary middlegrade teaching requirements.  The TM440 Monocular and TM450 Binocular College microscopes are suitable for higher grade applications employing 100X oil immersion objectives with a focusable NA 1.25 condenser.

The Meiji TM460 and TM490 Binocular microscopes are provided with convenient coaxial coarse and fine focusing controls for greater comfort in use.  These microscopes are suitable for daily observation as well as the extended and stringent performance requirements in college.  The TM470P Monocular simple phase contrast microscope is equipped similar to the TM420 Monocular, but has a special phase annulus and green filter built into the disc diaphragm for simple phase contrast with 10X and 40X objectives.  No adjustment is needed.  In addition, a 4X standard objective is supplied.
