This microscope has a monochrome camera.

A few of the specifications:

• Zeiss AxioPlan2
• Dell
• 20X N.A. 0.50 Planneofluar
• 40X N.A.
• 63X N.A. 1.4 OILPlanapochromat
• DIC

The 63X N.A. 1.40 lens has the same spatial resolution at the 100X lens when matched with the small pixel camera on this microscope but with benefits such as a wider field of view. Recommend only usig the 63X lens for high magnification work.
