Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the maximum magnification of the GHEXA-11.1508-06? A: With the 16x eyepiece and 100x oil immersion objective, the microscope achieves 1600x magnification—ideal for high-resolution observation of bacteria, cellular organelles, and fine structures in educational settings.

Q: How do I use the 100x oil immersion objective correctly? A: Place a drop of immersion oil between the slide and the 100x objective, carefully lower the objective until it contacts the oil, then use fine focus only. Fully open the iris diaphragm and center the condenser for maximum resolution.

Q: What benefits does the vernier scale mechanical stage offer? A: The coaxial vernier stage allows precise, measurable X-Y movement—essential for locating specific slide regions, systematic scanning, cell counting, and teaching accurate specimen navigation skills.

Q: How do I achieve the best mirror illumination? A: Use the concave side to concentrate light from a window or desk lamp for brighter, focused illumination at higher magnifications; use the plane side for even lighting. Adjust the mirror angle and position the microscope near a strong light source.

Q: Is the Abbe condenser adjustable for each objective? A: Yes—the N.A. 1.25 Abbe condenser is height-adjustable and features an iris diaphragm, enabling students to optimize light intensity, contrast, and resolution for every objective and magnification level.

Q: What is the shipping configuration? A: 4 complete microscopes are securely packed per master carton (53 × 43 × 39 cm, 15 kg gross / 14 kg net), ensuring safe delivery to schools, educational suppliers, or institutions. Contact G-Hexa for bulk pricing or custom orders.
