The B660 is designed for professional biological applications. It uses an ergonomic design for comfort and a fluid workflow, and its achromatic optics provide sharp, color-correct images. The halogen illumination system provides low-fatigue, evenly distributed light for maximum contrast and definition. This model is a popular choice for veterinarians and university laboratories.
The eyepiece spacing can be easily adjusted using a precision Siedentopf mechanism to customize the microscope to your viewing comfort. A diopter is on the left ocular tube to compensate for asymmetry, and the ocular tubes are angled at 30° to accommodate a seated position without neck strain comfortably.
The objective turret provides instant access to 4 magnification levels to easily focus in on minute details from 40X to 1000X. Additional 15X eyepieces expand the maximum magnification to 1600X with 8 unique levels. This covers magnifications needed for studying hair follicles, cells, and bacteria. The turret's reversed orientation provides more working room above the stage. These high-quality lenses are achromatically corrected to improve resolution and color accuracy.
The large 2-layer mechanical stage provides smooth and precise movement to examine specimen slides. The stage's low-position controls are conveniently placed near the coaxial focus knobs for a streamlined workflow. Examining specimen slides is intuitive and precise for users at any skill level.
Built on Koehler illumination principles, the sub-stage lighting provides evenly-distributed light for optimal contrast. The halogen light source provides bright illumination with a lower color temperature for decreased fatigue when used for long periods. The Abbe light condenser has a high 1.25 numerical aperture for oil immersion, and an iris diaphragm to optimize contrast and depth-of-field. The condenser holder uses rack-and-pinion height adjustment for precision control and is central for proper alignment. The illuminator's field lens provides an iris diaphragm to control light spread, optimizing contrast and definition in specimen features.
Monitor and capture photos and videos with the included 0.3MP digital eyepiece camera. The compact, lightweight camera can be used in place of an eyepiece to watch live images and to record photos or videos on your computer. This ability to view microscopic images on your computer reduces eye strain, allowing groups of people to view images simultaneously. Professional software for Windows provides a wide assortment of capture and photo-editing functions including color correction, time-lapse capture, image stitching, and a full complement of measuring tools.
