The IN480T provides high-resolution optics and a versatile inverted Koehler 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 advanced Koehler Illumination system provides centering and aperture controls, as well as a swing-out condenser-holder to fully optimize the lighting for any scenario.
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 astigmatism or 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. Additional 15X eyepieces expand the maximum magnification to 900X with 9 unique levels. 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 several included stage templates. Two plates are supplied for the stage 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.
Digital Imaging
Monitor and capture photos and videos with the included 12MP USB 3.0 camera. The sensitive back-illuminated sensor is designed for improved low-light imaging, making it suitable for fluorescence and darkfield microscopy. A 0.75X 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.
