Deca Head Microscope

A Deca Head Microscope supports group learning and shared analysis at one workstation. This system features ten viewing heads arranged around a single optical body. You and your team view the same specimen simultaneously. This setup suits medical colleges, dental colleges, training centers, and research labs.

The deca-head microscope design focuses on clarity, comfort, and coordination. Each user receives a direct view through a personal eyepiece. No screen delay occurs. No interpretation gap appears between users. Faculty guide students in real time. Students follow every step without shifting seats.

What a Deca Head Microscope Means for Your Lab

You train groups daily. You review slides with interns. You explain tissue structure to a full batch. This microscope solves space and time limits. Ten people work together on one sample. Discussion stays focused. Learning speed improves.

Common Use Environments

Medical colleges
Dental colleges
Pathology labs
Histology training centers
Research institutions
Teaching hospitals

Core Optical Structure

A Deca Head Microscope uses an infinity corrected optical system. Parallel light travels through the optical path. Each head receives the same image quality. Image scale stays consistent across all viewing stations.

Main Optical Elements

Infinity corrected objectives
Wide field eyepieces
Multi port head assembly
Central optical body

This structure reduces image variation between users. Faculty see the same details as students. Demonstration remains clear.

Viewing Heads and Ergonomics

Ten heads surround the central body. One head supports the instructor. Nine heads support learners. Each head includes a binocular tube. Head angles support long sessions.

Typical Head Features

Binocular viewing
Inclined viewing angle around 30 degrees
Individual diopter adjustment
Comfortable eye spacing

This arrangement reduces neck strain. Users maintain posture during long classes.

Eyepieces and Field of View

Wide field eyepieces support group teaching. A common specification uses EWF 10x eyepieces with a 22 mm field. This wide field shows more sample area. Users grasp context faster.

Eyepiece Benefits

Large viewing circle
Uniform brightness across field
Comfort for extended viewing

Faculty point out structures without repeated repositioning.

Objective System

Objective lenses define magnification and resolution. A Deca Head Microscope uses an infinity plan objective set. Common magnifications include 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x oil.

Objective Advantages

Flat field across view
Consistent scale for all heads
Smooth transition between magnifications

Students learn tissue comparison by switching powers during the same session.

Nosepiece Design

A quadruple nosepiece holds four objectives. Rotation remains smooth. Click stops align lenses correctly. Instructors change magnification during explanation.

Nosepiece Traits

Metal construction
Positive click stops
Easy access for cleaning

This part supports daily classroom use.

Stage and Specimen Handling

The mechanical stage supports precise slide movement. A double layer stage adds stability. Slide controls move smoothly along X and Y axes.

Stage Specifications

Stage size around 180 mm by 160 mm
Slide holder with firm grip
Smooth coaxial movement

You position a structure once. All users see the same area.

Focusing Mechanism

Coaxial coarse and fine focus knobs support clear image control. Fine focus allows minute adjustment. Coarse focus brings the image into view quickly.

Focus System Benefits

Balanced tension
Smooth rotation
Stable focus under group use

Instructors focus once. Students follow without refocusing.

Condenser System

An Abbe condenser with NA 1.25 supports contrast control. Height adjustment aligns light path. Iris diaphragm manages contrast and depth.

Condenser Features

Centering adjustment
Smooth height control
High numerical aperture

This system supports stained and unstained samples.

Light Source System

This microscope uses a built in light source. Options include halogen or LED systems. Brightness control supports specimen type and stain density.

Light System Traits

Stable output
Low heat near stage
Long operating life

Users adjust brightness using a dedicated control.

Power Requirements

Standard power input uses 230 V AC. Voltage compatibility suits lab infrastructure in India and similar regions. Internal protection supports stable operation.

Installation Requirements

Standard power outlet
Stable table
Clean environment

Setup time stays short.

Teaching Workflow with a Deca Head Microscope

A typical teaching session follows a simple pattern.

The instructor prepares a slide.
The slide moves onto the stage.
Focus occurs once.
All learners view together.

Discussion flows naturally. The instructor points through verbal guidance. Students ask questions while viewing the same structure.

This process saves time. No queue forms. No repeated alignment occurs.

Applications in Medical Education

Medical students study histology and pathology daily. Group viewing improves understanding of tissue patterns. Faculty explain cell layers and structures live.

Common Subjects

Histology
Pathology
Microbiology
Hematology

Students link theory with visuals during the session.

Applications in Dental Education

Dental students analyze oral tissues and tooth sections. Shared viewing helps faculty explain enamel, dentin, pulp, and periodontal structures.

Typical Use Cases

Oral pathology
Dental histology
Prosthodontic material study

Group learning reduces equipment duplication.

Applications in Research Labs

Research teams review samples together. Principal investigators guide junior researchers. Consensus forms faster.

Research Benefits

Shared interpretation
Faster decision making
Reduced sample handling

This system supports collaboration.

Build and Stability

A Deca Head Microscope requires a strong base. The stand supports the weight of ten heads. Anti vibration feet improve stability.

Structural Traits

Metal stand
Wide footprint
Balanced arm design

This structure supports long term institutional use.

Maintenance Practices

Daily care keeps the microscope functional.

Clean eyepieces after sessions.
Cover the microscope when idle.
Switch off power after use.
Clean objectives using proper lens paper.

Annual servicing supports consistent operation.

Space Planning for Your Lab

This microscope needs a large table. Each user requires seating space. Plan circular seating.

Recommended Setup

Central table
Ten stools
Clear walkways
Controlled lighting

Proper planning improves session flow.

Selection Checklist for Buyers
