AmScope, IN300T, 40X-400X Trinocular Inverted Biological Microscope
IN300T Includes Only:
- One inverted microscope
- Four objectives lenses: 4X, 10X(Ph), 20X(Ph) and 40X
- One pair of 10X eyepieces
- One phase-contrast annulus board
- One top-mount illuminator
- One 30W halogen bulb
- One dust cover
- Color filters
- One power cord (North American standard)
Features:
- 40X to 400X magnification range using a quadruple lens turret for four unique settings.
- A relatively compact inverted microscope with brightfield and phase contrast for transmitted-light applications.
- The inverted format is a stable, ergonomic platform for cell cultures, multi-well plates, and larger specimen containers.
- The fixed-height overhead illuminator can be quickly switched from brightfield to phase-contrast using the provided phase-annulus board.
- Specialized 10X and 20X objective lenses are included for phase-contrast applications.
- The trinocular photo port provides a dedicated interface for mounting a camera.
The IN300T provides high-resolution optics and an inverted illumination system in a stable, ergonomic design for observing cell cultures and other biological and chemical specimens in brightfield and phase contrast. The inverted form accommodates larger specimen containers, with multiple specimen templates and mechanical stage controls to improve workflow. High-resolution optics and phase-contrast capability maximize contrast and clarity to ensure high-quality images.
The Viewing Head
The viewing head has a 45º incline and Siedentopf interpupillary adjustment for flexibility and comfort. Super-widefield optics provide a larger field of view so you can see more specimens at any magnification. For astigmatism or asymmetrical vision users, the right ocular can be adjusted to fine-tune focus. The trinocular format provides a dedicated photo port for mounting a microscopy camera for capturing photos or videos. The 23mm photo port is height-adjustable to match focus with the eyepieces.
Optics
The quadruple objective turret provides instant access to 4 magnification levels. This allows you to move through magnifications from 40X to 400X efficiently. These high-quality lenses are achromatically corrected for superior optical corrections and transmittance, with planatic flat-field correction to provide edge-to-edge sharpness.
The Stage
The large stage can accommodate slides, multi-well plates, dishes, and short flasks. Two plates are supplied for the stage's aperture, including glass and key-holed metal for varying light control. A large mechanical caliper can hold and position any of the sample templates for precision placement.
Transmitted Illumination
The transmitted illumination system uses a fixed-height, 30W incandescent light source with integrated condenser, slots for filters, and a phase-annulus board. The annulus board provides two centerable phase-contrast annuli, as well as an open setting which can be used with colored filters for band-isolation or color-correction.
Phase Contrast
The 10X and 20X objective lenses are equipped with phase rings for phase-contrast observation. By sliding the provided phase-annulus board into the overhead lamp, the transmitted lighting is quickly changed to work with the objective lenses to enhance contrast in hard-to-see samples such as live cells which cannot be stained. By manipulating variances in phase caused by changing refractive indices, imperceptible details can present as transitions from dark to light.
