The MAGUS CLI18T illuminator is designed to illuminate samples with oblique light, making it possible to clearly visualize surface relief, scratches, cracks, and other defects through pronounced highlights and shadows. The design of the illuminator prevents sample heating and eliminates the risk of thermal damage. The light source is housed in a dedicated lamphouse. Light is directed to the specimen through a flexible dual light guide. The position of the light guide can be adjusted to set the desired illumination angle, allowing precise control over light and shadow formation for detailed examination. 

This LED ring light with a matte diffuser is designed to provide bright, uniform, and shadow-free reflected illumination. It is mounted directly onto the CMO stereomicroscope objective, allowing the light to be delivered coaxially. This illumination method is particularly important when observing flat, glossy, or low-contrast samples. The matte diffuser effectively removes harsh shadows and significantly reduces glare, producing soft and evenly distributed light. The LEDs require no warm-up time, reaching the selected brightness instantly and maintaining a stable color temperature even during extended use.

The CMO (Common Main Objective) system allows additional accessories to be integrated into the optical path. A two-port beamsplitter is installed between the microscope head and the zoom objective, enabling the simultaneous use of two digital cameras. A stereomicroscope with a CMO design produces high-quality digital images without field distortion. This makes it an excellent choice for photo and video recording, as well as for presentations and lectures that rely on visual materials.

The CMO (Common Main Objective) system allows additional accessories to be incorporated into the optical path. A beamsplitter with a single port is mounted between the microscope head and the zoom objective and is used for installing a digital camera. A stereomicroscope built with a CMO design produces high-quality digital images without field distortion. This makes it well suited for photo and video recording, as well as for presentations and lectures that rely on visual demonstrations.

This polarizer and analyzer set is designed to enable polarized light techniques. It includes a polarizer and an analyzer, and the intensity of transmitted light varies depending on their relative orientation. When the polarizer and analyzer are positioned perpendicular to each other, complete light extinction occurs. Polarized light is used to study anisotropic samples such as geological specimens, biological structures, and polymer materials.

The stage is mounted in the base of the stereomicroscope and is used for precise and smooth movement of the sample beneath the objective, as well as for documenting observations with a camera. Coaxial control knobs allow controlled movement of the specimen along the X axis (right and left) and the Y axis (forward and backward). The transparent glass surface of the stage enables work with both reflected and transmitted light. A vernier scale is provided for precise measurement along a single axis.

The focusing mechanism is a structural component of the stereomicroscope designed to secure the microscope head to the stand. It enables precise vertical movement of the microscope head, allowing accurate focusing on the specimen. Focus adjustment is performed using coaxial knobs, which provide smooth and controlled operation during observation.

The epi-fluorescence attachment is designed to enable fluorescence microscopy. This technique relies on the ability of certain substances to emit light when excited by illumination at a specific wavelength. Some specimens naturally exhibit autofluorescence, while others require treatment with fluorochromes to produce a fluorescent signal. The attachment is installed in the optical path between the microscope head and the stand. Inside the unit is a four-position rotating turret that holds three broadband fluorescence filter sets for blue (B), green (G), and ultraviolet (UV) excitation.

The epi-fluorescence attachment is designed for fluorescence microscopy. This technique is based on the ability of certain substances to emit light when excited by illumination at a specific wavelength. Some specimens show natural autofluorescence, while others require staining with fluorochromes to produce a fluorescent signal. The attachment is installed in the optical path between the microscope head and the stand. Inside the unit is a four-position rotating turret equipped with three narrow-band fluorescence filter sets for the fluorochromes DAPI, FITC, and TRITC. 

The epi-fluorescence attachment is designed for fluorescence microscopy. This technique is based on the ability of certain substances to emit light when excited by illumination at a specific wavelength. Some specimens naturally exhibit autofluorescence, while others require treatment with fluorochromes to produce a visible fluorescent signal. The attachment is installed in the optical path between the microscope head and the stand. Inside the unit is a six-position rotating turret fitted with fluorescence filters.

This transmitted light spectroscope is a simple yet precise instrument designed for observing and analyzing the spectra of various light sources. It features a tube with a precision entrance slit and a 600 lines-per-millimetre grating, allowing users to easily point it at different light sources such as the sky (to observe the solar spectrum and Fraunhofer absorption lines), flames for chemical analysis, liquids for their absorption spectra, or the bright lines from discharge tubes and lamps.

This compact spectroscope features a high-performance flat-field concave grating in a module measuring just 136 x 120 x 75 mm and weighing 1.2 kg. It includes a built-in Lodestar X2 guide camera and an argon-neon calibration lamp for precise wavelength calibration. Both the input and output are equipped with T2 threads, making the unit compatible with most imaging cameras that use T2 thread connections. Starlight Xpress recommends pairing this spectroscope with the Trius SX-694 camera for optimal performance.
