Working Principle
The Dissecting Microscope MD-1 works on the principle of reflected light magnification. Unlike compound microscopes that use transmitted light, the MD-1 illuminates the specimen from above or by reflecting external light through a plano-concave mirror. The reflected light reaches the specimen surface and forms a magnified image when viewed through low-power eyepieces.
The high-eye-point eyepieces provide a wide field, making it easier to study three-dimensional specimens like insects, plant parts, fibers, crystals, or biological tissues. The rack-and-pinion mechanism adjusts the distance between the objective lens and the specimen, allowing the user to achieve sharp focus. The jointed arm ensures the observer can scan any part of the specimen without repositioning it, enabling smooth and continuous study.
