Same specifications as Pink MC50 but: ILLUMINATION LED lamp powered by Lithium battery or by DC9V power supply. Estimated battery durability is over 8 hours at continuous operation. Recharge time: 5 - 6 hours. The microscope can be used while battery is being recharged. Battery is intended for 400 charges for about 20.000 hours total. Compared to the classical halogen illumination the LED light has several advantages: Unlike halogen bulbs, the LED diodes do not emit heat and thus the housing and the specimen are not exposed to higher temperatures even after several working hours. Because of their...
