Travelling Microscope
Travelling Microscope
Travelling Microscope is extensively used in Research, Colleges, Schools and Industrial laboratories for accurate measurement of the diameters of different objects. Two slow motion knobs are provided for taking accurate readings. For placing objects on horizontal stage, milky cenolite sheet is provided on the base. The position of the turning a screw. The microscope is focused by rack and pinion and has achromatic objective of 50 mm focal length and eye piece with cross line graticule. Purpose of the microscope is to aim at reference marks with much higher accuracy compared with bare eyes .It is used in labs to measure refractive index of liquids using the geometrical concepts of ray optics.
