The OM118-B4L is built for students learning basic life science processes in grade 4 to senior high school students preparing for post-secondary education in the sciences.
An integrated double-layered mechanical stage that includes full graduated X/Y movement (18mm x 70mm) with coaxial coarse/fine focus controls.
High-quality rack and pinion mechanics for longer life and coaxial focus controls for easy focusing.
An Abbe 1.25 N. A condenser with an Iris diaphragm for optimal adjustments.
A binocular microscope head inclined at 45 degrees to make constant viewing more ergonomic and posture-friendly.
A head that rotates through 360 degrees for flexible viewing positions and easy collaboration.
Bright built-in LED illuminationthat offers variable intensity.
A rack stop to prevent slide breakage.
A slip clutch control to reduce the risk of damage to focus controls caused by over-extension.
Packed with Optimal Optics for Students
We built the OM118-B4SL microscope with young students in mind. So, we packed it with features like coaxial controls that enable students to move the slide without looking up from the eyepiece. We fit this student microscope with the same optics that professional microscopes use on a day-to-day basis:
Two wide-field WF10x eyepieces
Four parcentered, parfocal achromatic objective lenses (4x, 40x spring, 100x spring oil immersion)
Four magnification levels of 40x, 100x, 400x and 1,000x
… so when students move on to studying microscopy in post-secondary institutions or pursuing a scientific career, they’re already equipped with the hard skills they need to thrive.
Swap Out that Hard Eyepiece for Soft Imaging
Imagine the awe students in your class experience when they witness molecular microscopy on a projector or computer screen. A student microscope helps make small things big. A digital microscope camera makes those things even bigger.
Add an OptixCam Summit K2 series digital microscope camera to your OM118-B4SL microscope to make it a digital microscope.
Since most students are used to using technology in their day-to-day lives, incorporating a camera that captures vivid microscopy images gets them even more enthused about learning microscopy.
If you just don’t like your Omano microscope and want to send it back after a few weeks of use, do it. We’ll take it back with no questions asked.
If you have a problem with it 30 years from now, we’ll fix it. We made a decision decades ago that we would offer a lifetime limited warranty because we know we don’t have to worry about quality issues.

Focus on the Stage
The OptixCam Summit K2 Series cameras work well with Windows operating systems. Installation is fast so students can start capturing images and video right away. The software is packed with features that help students manipulate their images and easily share their findings with their peers and teachers:
Image capture
Notation
Geometric measuring
Storage in JPG, BMP, TIFF, and RAW format
Auto white balance
Color enhancement
Anti-flicker
… among other image-enhancing benefits that make image capture and sharing easy. Just add on a camera with the MP of your choice before you pop this microscope into your cart.
