|---|---|
| Is this the halogen version? | Yes. The MD827Z30 uses a 6V / 20W halogen transmitted light system. |
| Is this the same as the MD827C30? | No. The models are closely related, but the MD827Z30 is the halogen model while MD827C30 is listed separately in the manual downloads. |
| Can I view through the eyepieces and camera at the same time? | Yes. The integrated digital binocular head allows eyepiece viewing and USB camera output. |
| Does it include software? | Yes. Camera driver and imaging software are included on CD. |
| Can the software measure specimens? | Yes. The Windows software includes measurement tools. |
| Does it work without a computer? | Yes for optical eyepiece viewing. A computer is required for digital live view, image capture and video recording. |
| Does it include darkfield? | No, not with the base MD827Z30 package. Darkfield is available on specific bundles such as MD827Z30-A191 or with compatible optional accessories. |
| Does it have 2000x magnification? | No. The correct MD827Z30 listed magnification levels are 40x, 100x, 250x, 400x, 1000x and 2500x. |

Sorry, we still have not received this item, we are based in Rarotonga and it is on a ship to here. Can you confirm the lowest micron measuring level. Thanks.

New ZealandExpert advice
Yet another purchase from Jacobs Digital. This time we discussed our requirements with their microscope expert to get the best product for our job. The microscope was something new for us. We usually buy binoculars to use on the farm, but wanting to take analysis a little further a microscope was the next step. We are happy with our purchase and will save the cost of the microscope within a year by doing our own FEC's

I’m a mobile vet and do a lot of cytology to treat a problem right the first time. Got this microscope delivered and it’s amazing. Great quality, excellent magnification at 100x so not sure will ever use 2500x but cool to know I can if the situation arises. Great purchase, will pay itself off quickly.
