The IN480T-FL provides a gamut of tools needed by any laboratory performing live cell studies and genetic research. This highly versatile inverted epi-fluorescence microscope is equipped with a Koehler transmitted illumination system for brightfield and phase-contrast observation and a wide-spectrum episcopic illuminator for fluorescence observation. The large stage and swing-out condenser holder can accommodate a range of specimen containers including slides, dishes, and flasks.
The Viewing Head
The viewing head has a 45° 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 users with asymmetrical vision, the left 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. A sliding shutter isolates the light path when using a camera, avoiding stray light from the oculars during fluorescence imaging. The 23mm photo port is height-adjustable to match focus with the eyepieces and can be replaced with an optional CX series C-mount port which has built-in reduction, and can directly interface with C-mount cameras.
Optics
The infinity-corrected optical system eliminates optical errors and ensures highly precise images. The quintuple objective turret provides instant access to 5 magnification levels. This allows you to efficiently move through magnifications from 40X to 600X. These high-quality lenses are achromatically corrected to improve resolution and color accuracy, 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 thanks to a number of included stage templates. 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. An extension is provided for an additional 70mm width when needed.
Koehler Transmitted Illumination
The Koehler transmitted illumination system consists of a central 30W halogen lamp, a field lens with an iris, and a central, height-adjustable condenser with an iris. The ability to center the lamp and condenser, along with the field and aperture diaphragms, allows for highly efficient, optimized illumination for maximum resolution. Along with height adjustment, the condenser can be swung out of the light path. A slide-in 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.
Epi-fluorescence Illumination
A 100W mercury-vapor episcopic illuminator provides wide-spectrum lighting for fluorescence excitation. Two filter blocks can be mounted and alternated during observation. Blue and green excitation blocks are included to cover a wide range of common fluorophores.
Fluorescence
Mercury HBO lamps produce a wide spectrum of wavelengths, including ultraviolet. While this fluorescent light source can excite fluorophores throughout its entire spectrum, there are peak wavelengths with optimal output. The included filter blocks will accommodate a wide range of fluorophores, although the nature of mercury arc lamps limits effectiveness outside of the peak wavelengths.
