This system features the Motic Panthera Classic microscope and Moticam X Wi-Fi camera. The Panthera Classic incorporates a lead-free manufacturing process in accordance with current RoHS standards, and follows the optical features and performance derived from the flagship model BA410 Elite. The Panthera Classic also features super-widefield 10x/22mm high-eyepoint focusing eyepieces, a rackless XY mechanical stage, Koehler illumination with field iris and focusing and centering condenser, and easy interchangeability between 6V/30W Halogen bulbs and LED modules. The trinocular head incorporates a fixed beam splitter so images are available to both eyepieces and the camera simultaneously.
Our MCX version includes the Moticam X Wi-Fi camera and widefield C-mount adapter. The camera is firmly attached to the trinocular port via an allen set screw, but it can be removed and upgraded in the future as needed (as opposed to “digital microscopes” which we don’t recommend). The Moticam-X Wi-Fi camera broadcasts the image from the microscope on its own frequency. Any Wi-Fi enabled device (Smart Phone, Tablet, Notebook computer) can connect to the camera and display the live image from the microscope. In a classroom setting with multiple Wi-Fi microscopes, each student or group of students can connect to their specific microscope to view the live output, and then can capture still images on their own device for future study, to include in a lab report, or to share for collaboration. Plus, the instructor can choose any student microscope’s video feed to project to the whole class!
