Full specs (iASC infinity-corrected 4x/10x/40x/100x-oil objectives, Siedentopf widefield 10x eyepieces, 3W LED, 140x135mm coaxial stage with 76x40mm travel, Abbe N.A.1.25 condenser, coaxial focus with 2µm fine precision) were fetched from motic-microscope.com, a US Motic distributor, for the closely related BA210S sub-variant of the same series; fishersci.com's own listing (page fetch failed with a connection reset, but its indexed price range of $1,429-$2,948 was independently visible via search) corroborates a US price for the BA210 family at the low end for a monocular/binocular base unit. The BA210 (non-S) and BA210S share the same optical/mechanical architecture per Motic's own naming convention; this is flagged since seed named the plain 'BA210'.
