It includes virtually all of the features available in the basic LOMO microscopes, and except for Nomarski interference, all of the features needed in the most advanced laboratory scope. An automatic exposure camera is supplied. Epi-illumination allows both bright and dark field. Polarizing filters used with the rotating stage allow examination and photography of birefringence. Koehler illumination is provided from both above and below.
Color temperature is controlled by the two variable transformers.
Coaxial focusing knobs lie in a comfortable position above the sides of the base, which form hand-rests. Stage movements are made by means of coaxial knobs at both sides. A course focus lock knob is provided. A bright-field condensor resembling that for the Biolam Researcher is also provided, but it is n.a. 1.35 aplanatic, with the top removable to convert it to n.a. 0.33.
