LCAchN 10x/0.25 PhC ∞/-/fn22. LCAchN 20x/0.40 PhC ∞/1/fn22. LCAchN 20x/0.55 Ph2 ∞/1/fn22.

The microscope needs to have an ultra-long condenser so that a chamber of 5cm height can fit underneath, 2 x10 eyepieces, one with a graticule, and a drop-down binocular head. There will need to be Phase contrast ring slits which correspond to the above objectives, allowing the microscope to be used in DIC, phase contrast and brightfield. It must have a mechanical moveable x/y stage with fixtures for a slide insert.
