Spi 40-196-8 Monocular Compound Microscope 25x

Product Description

The SPI 40-196-8 is a monocular compound microscope designed for precision measurement and inspection tasks in industrial, laboratory, and trade environments. It operates at a fixed 25x magnification with a 0.13 inch field diameter, allowing technicians to examine small components, surface features, and fine detail with consistent clarity. The rubber eyepiece provides a comfortable, durable viewing interface suited to extended use. Graduation is 0.002 inches, enabling precise linear measurement directly through the eyepiece. This instrument is typically used by quality control inspectors, metrology technicians, and precision trade professionals who require reliable optical gauging in the field or at a workbench.

The 40-196-8 is suited for applications requiring close-tolerance inspection of machined parts, fasteners, threads, surface finish, and similar small-scale features. Its compact form and rubber-housed eyepiece make it practical for both bench-top and portable field use. The fixed 25x magnification simplifies setup and eliminates adjustment variables, which is useful in repetitive inspection workflows where consistency across measurements is critical.

Key Features

• Fixed 25x magnification for consistent, repeatable inspection results
• 0.13 inch field diameter provides an adequate viewing area for small component inspection
• 0.002 inch graduation supports precise linear measurement through the eyepiece
• Rubber eyepiece housing offers durability and comfortable eye relief during extended use
• Monocular compound design is straightforward to operate with minimal setup

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose monocular compound microscope for industrial inspection, metrology, and quality control applications where fixed 25x magnification and direct-reading graduation are required.

Installation Notes

This instrument does not require electrical installation and is placed on a stable, vibration-free surface for accurate readings. Handle optical components with care to avoid scratching or contaminating lenses. Clean eyepiece and objective surfaces only with approved optical-grade materials. Follow applicable laboratory or facility safety protocols when inspecting chemical, biological, or sharp-edged samples.
