This is an upgraded B690 with both brightfield and darkfield light condensers. These versatile lighting options accommodate fixed or unfixed live cells and provide contrast enhancement. Its Infinity-Corrected optical system ensures reliable, low-distortion magnification, with achromatic corrections for accurate colors and improved sharpness. 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.
To customize the microscope to your viewing comfort, the eyepiece spacing can be easily adjusted using a precision Siedentopf mechanism. A diopter is on the left ocular tube to compensate for asymmetry, and the ocular tubes are angled at 30° to comfortably accommodate a seated position without neck strain.
The objective turret provides instant access to 4 magnification levels to easily focus in on minute details from 40X to 1000X. Additional 25X eyepieces expand the maximum magnification to 2500X with 6 unique levels. This covers the 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.
A dry darkfield condenser is included for darkfield observation using the 40X objective lens or lower. With a 0.9 numerical aperture, the condenser works with non-immersion lenses. Two centering screws allow you to properly center the condenser for optimal contrast. Darkfield observation will provide contrast in otherwise indistinguishable objects by highlighting changes in the refractive index. This is particularly useful for observing live cells including blood analysis.
Monitor and capture photos and videos with the included 5.3MP USB 2.0 camera. The ultra-sensitive back-illuminated sensor is designed to excel at low-light imaging, making it ideal for fluorescence and darkfield microscopy. A 0.5X reduction lens is included to capture more of the microscope's field of view. 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.
