VanGuard Series 1300 Microscopes: Affordable clinical microscopes offer advanced features
VanGuard Microscopes has introduced their new clinical compound microscopes which though affordable, however possess some key features usually associated with research-grade microscopes. 'The new microscopes support Koehler illumination, a process that promotes uniform brightness and eliminates glare. Users can center the field diaphragm to optimize the passage of light through the specimen and out the eyepieces, part of achieving Koehler illumination. In addition, the 1300 series has an infinity optical system, a feature traditionally limited to high-end research microscopes. Infinity-corrected models are available on all models with plan achromatic objectives and start below one thousand U.S. dollars.'
