Travelling Microscope
Product Code : SCL-PLE-11781
The JLab India Travelling Microscope is a high-precision compound optical instrument engineered for the empirical study of small-scale dimensions and refractive indices. Optimized for University-level physics and metrology, this apparatus allows for the measurement of horizontal and vertical distances with sub-millimeter accuracy using an integrated Vernier scale. It provides a stable, vibration-resistant platform for measuring the diameter of capillary tubes, the thickness of thin films, or the "apparent depth" of liquids.

Key Pedagogical Outcomes (Bloom’s Taxonomy Alignment)
- Micrometric Interface: Facilitates student visualization of minute structures, supporting Metrology and Optics Module 101 by providing a bridge between macroscopic and microscopic dimensions.
- Refractive Index Quantification: Enables the physical study of optics, allowing learners to apply the formula n=Real Depth/Apparent Depth to determine the refractive index of glass or liquids.
- Capillary Analysis: Supports the analysis of surface tension; students use the horizontal and vertical movement to measure the precise meniscus height and bore diameter of capillary tubes.
- Measurement Accuracy Evaluation: Allows students to evaluate the impact of "backlash error" in mechanical gears and practice techniques (moving in only one direction) to eliminate it.
International Logistics & Compliance
JLab India ensures comprehensive OEM readiness for global institutional procurement:
- Packaging: Export-grade seaworthy crating (ISPM-15 compliant) featuring "Suspension-Molding" to prevent the delicate internal optics and precision gears from shifting or misaligning during maritime transit.
- Documentation: Includes Manufacturer’s Authorization Form (MAF), Certificate of Conformance (CoC), and a factory-verified linearity test report.
- Durability: Tropicalized design featuring anti-fungal optical coatings and grease-lubricated gears designed to maintain "zero-play" even in high-humidity climates.
Direct OEM Sourcing Advantages
Procuring the JLab India Travelling Microscope directly ensures vertical manufacturing control:
- In-House Gear Lapping: Every rack-and-pinion set is hand-finished to ensure smooth, non-jerky movement, which is critical for making accurate 01mm adjustments.
- Precision Leveling Calibration: Every unit is tested for absolute perpendicularity between the vertical pillar and the horizontal bed, reducing systematic parallax errors.
- Direct Factory Spares Availability: Guaranteed availability of replacement Ramsden eyepieces, cross-hair reticles, and Vernier scale plates to maximize long-term laboratory ROI.
- Manufacturing Control: Direct oversight of the achromatic lens assembly ensures high resolving power and a flat field of view, providing students with sharp images of small scales or liquid surfaces.
