• Higher grade Infinity Corrected optical system. This type of optics is more expensive than normal fixed tube length optics. It is found only on higher grade compound light microscopes.
• Features 30mm Eyepiece Ocular Tubes! Most compound scopes are 23mm. The larger size allows for less eye strain, much easier viewing, and a larger and better quality image! After looking into these awesome eyepieces, you would never want a smaller 23mm ocular! Before buying a different scope, ask if it has the cheap 23mm oculars!
• Unique Ability to have Image in Both Oculars and Photo Port Simultaneously. This is Perfect for Training as the Binocular Eyepieces can be viewed by the Instructor, and Everybody Else can Watch the viewing screen. Most Trinocular Scopes lose light in one or both oculars when light is diverted to the photo port.

• Three Phase Contrast Magnifications: 100x, 200x, and 400x.
• Three Phase Contrast Objectives: 10x, 20x and 40x. These are the same as the brightfield objectives. They are used for both brightfield microscopy and phase contrast microscopy.
• Quintuple objective nosepiece holds up to five objectives.
• Objectives are designed for being able to view the culture specimen through the bottom of the petri dish or glass flask.

• Brightfield - Phase Contrast Illumination System Consisting of the Following:
• Above-Stage Long Working Distance (75mm from stage to bottom of condenser) Condenser, with iris diaphragm and filter holder on slider bar.
• Phase Annulus Rings for 10x, 20x, and 40x built into phase slider bars. Each slider bar has open hole for brightfield setting. This same hole can be used for placing a brightfield color filter.
• Ring Centering Knobs for Precise Alignment of Phase Rings for Optimal Phase Contrast Performance.
• Four brightfield filters included: Slight Blue (for daylight color correction), Green, Yellow, and Frosted White.
• Trinocular photography port has a color corrected daylight filter that can be inserted into light path or removed.
• Fluorescence Microscopy Illumination system with two dichroic fluorescence filters (blue and green). The fluorescence filter cubes are mounted on a slider bar assembly so either can be easily selected. It can be set to middle position with no filter cube for brightfield microscopy. Note: If no image is obtained, or image is only partial, be sure slider bar is not partially seated between settings. For brightfield, no image will be obtained if fluorescence filter cube is in light path.

• Above Stage Transmitted Light Source: Variable Intensity 12V/30W Halogen Illumination.

• Large Mechanical X-Y Movable Stage. Stage dimensions: X = 172mm, Y = 240mm.

• Coaxial Fine and Coarse Focusing Knobs on Both Sides of Microscope.
• For Optimal Performance when Focusing, the Objectives move Up/Down Instead of the Stage.

• A conventional microscope uses regular light to illuminate a specimen and create a magnified image from that light. A fluorescence microscope uses a special high intensity light to illuminate the specimen. The light excites fluorescent particles which in turn emit light of a longer wavelength. It is this secondary light being emitted that is collected and used to produce a magnified image of the specimen. The original high intensity light is not magnified and is filtered out of the final magnified image.
• In a conventional microscope, the condenser lens focuses the light source and the objective lens magnifies the image. The fluorescence microscope objective lens not only magnifies the image, but first, it focuses the high intensity (excitation) light on the specimen. Both the excitation light and the emission light travel through the same objective. This is called epi-fluorescence.
• The excitation light is filtered into a light of a wavelength that is desired to illuminate the specimen, and all other wavelength light is blocked. A dichromatic beam splitter (mirror) is used to do this. The excitation light path is originally perpendicular to the objective. In order for the light to reach the specimen, it must be reflected 90 degrees into the objective. The beam splitter is on a 45 degree angle to the incoming excitation light. It reflects the shorter wavelength (desired excitation light) light 90 degrees through the objective and onto the specimen. The longer wavelength light passes through and is not reflected to the specimen.
• The light coming from the specimen (both emitted from specimen and reflected excitation light) is then filtered again so only the light from the fluorescence emission coming from the specimen is passed and used to create the final image. The light creating the final image should mainly be the emission light with minimal background illumination excitation light. The dichromatic beam splitter is again used for this since it allows the longer wavelength emitted light to pass straight through so it can be used for image formation. It reflects the shorter wavelength light in a different direction, so it is not used for final image formation. These filters and mirrors are typically housed within the fluorescence cube assembly.
• Review the fluorescing specimen photos in this ad. The visible image is really the specimen as it is fluorescing (light emitted from the specimen). It is not normal light that is being reflected from or transmitted light passed through the specimen. This is not Bright-Field Microscopy which is completely different as it produces a strong bright image from normal light that is transmitted through the specimen or reflected off the specimen.
• Warning: Be careful about buying used equipment that might have scratched optics, delamination, missing/broken parts, dust/dirt on internal optics, head out of alignment (slight double vision, common!), bio-contamination, degradation of lubrication, and impossible-to-find or expensive replacement components on obsolete models. Just like buying an old car, the high cost of maintenance alone must be considered when making a purchase. If you buy used, what will you do if the light goes out and it's not a burnt bulb? Microscope Repair is VERY Expensive!
• This is a Sophisticated Instrument. We have found that most customers call us after the sale for questions and support for this item. Beware of buying from an inexperienced peddler who knows little about their product. For example, we've seen others selling darkfield microscopes and actually calling them phase contrast microscopes because they didn't know the difference! What will you do if you buy a scope from an inexperienced salesman and don't obtain the quality images that you require? Who can you turn to for help? We have a fully trained microscopy support staff willing to assist you with your needs. All our photos are taken in-house by the same staff available to talk to you today. They are also available to assist you AFTER the purchase when you receive your equipment and are learning its operation.

• BONUS: Includes an Aluminum Carrying Case with Precut Foam for safe transportation of your precision instrument.
