The requirements are for 1x stereomicroscopes and 01 LED light. These pieces of equipment will be essential to support the important ongoing research in species identification, analysis, and new species discovery, enhancing the quality of future scientific articles. Magnification capability of 120x is important for the taxonomic study of plant families such as Compositae where examination of micromorphology is an important component of species identification.
