The AmScope IN480T inverted trinocular compound microscope has a pair of 10x22mm high-eyepoint super-widefield eyepieces, an under-mounted quintuple nosepiece, eight DIN long working-distance infinity plan objectives, top-mounted Brightfield 30W halogen illumination, a 0.3 NA and 0.5 NA Kohler condenser with iris diaphragm, and a double-layer mechanical stage with a stage stop to protect slides and objectives from damage. The microscope has a color-corrected infinity optical system (CCIS) that provides color correction and improved focus of the intermediate image across the entire focal plane. The trinocular head has a Siedentopf binocular mount with 50 to 76mm interpupillary adjustment and a fixed 45-degree vertical inclination to reduce eye and neck strain. A Siedentopf binocular head enables the viewer to change the interpupillary distance without changing the tube length, eliminating the need to refocus the image. Anti-mold coatings protect the microscope in high-humidity environments. The microscope includes a pair of WH10x22mm plan high-eyepoint super-widefield eyepieces that provide improved focus over the entire field of view (FOV). High-eyepoint eyepieces ease viewing for viewers who wear glasses. Dioptric adjustment accommodates individual eye-strength differences. The vertical trinocular port accepts a 23mm or C-Mount camera (camera sold separately). The under-mounted quintuple nosepiece accepts up to five 20mm objectives at a time. The microscope includes five Brightfield long working-distance infinity plan objectives (4x, 10x, 20x, 40x, and 60x) and three phase-contrast long working-distance infinity plan objectives (10x, 20x, and 40x). Long working-distance plan objectives provide improved focus over the entire range of the viewing field and a longer working distance that is required when viewing specimens in dishes and large containers. Phase-contrast provides high contrast and visibility without the use of stains, allowing speci
