The bScope® microscope for fluorescence microscopy is equipped with four monochromatic FluoLEDs
The microscopes are supplied with routine fluorescence filter sets and dichroic mirrors for excitation in the blue, green, violet and ultraviolet spectral regions
EYEPIECES
Wide field HWF 10x/22 mm secured eyepieces (Ø 30 mm tube)
HEAD
• The bScope® is equipped with a Siedentopf type head and equipped with 30° inclined Ø 30 mm tubes and with a ± 5 diopter adjustment on left eyepiece. The interpupillary distance is adjustable between 48 to 76 mm
• The trinocular head comes with a Ø 23.2 mm photo tube, ensuring maximum flexibility. The prisms inside the heads are designed to minimize the light absorption for perfect digital imaging. The trinocular head has a light path selector (100:0 / 0:100) and generates an erect image
NOSEPIECE
Revolving and reversed ball-bearing quintuple nosepiece
OBJECTIVES
The state-of-the-art production techniques and multi layer coatings used for the manufacturing of the bScope® objectives enable the bScope® to be used for the most demanding applications. World class spherical aberration correction and modern CNC and assembly technology ensure the perfect centering of the objectives
• Plan infinity corrected PLi 4x/0.10, 10x/0.25, 20x/0.40, S40x/0.65, S60x/0.85 and S100x/1.25 oil immersion IOS objectives for applications where violet or Ultra-Violet excitation is not needed
• Plan Fluarex infinity corrected PLFi 4x/0.10, 10x/0.25, 20x/0.40, S40x/0.65 and S100x/0.90 IOS objectives for applications where either higher resolving power or violet or ultra-violet excitation is needed
All S40x, S60x and S100x oil immersion objectives are spring loaded. All optics are anti-fungus treated and anti-reflection coated for maximum
light throughput
FOCUSING
Double coaxial, low-positioned coarse and fine adjustments with 180 graduations. Precision 1.1 µm, 200 µm per rotation, total travel range is approximately 19 mm. Supplied with an adjustable rack stop to prevent damage to sample and objectives. The coarse adjustment is equipped with friction control
STAGE
The bScope® is equipped with a scratch-resistant 152/197 x 131 mm stage with integrated 75 x 36 mm X-Y rackless mechanical stage, Vernier scale, soft-close removable specimen holder. The rackless stage has no protruding parts, enables more smooth movements and is safer in use. Low-positioned X-Y control knobs prevent fatigue during long working sessions
CONDENSER FOR BRIGHTFIELD
The standard height adjustable Abbe N.A. 1.25 condenser for brightfield comes with an iris diaphragm and swing-out filter holder
CONDENSER FOR ZERNIKE PHASE CONTRAST
The height adjustable Zernike NA. 1.25 phase contrast disc condenser comes with phase annuli for 10/20/S40x and S100x phase contrast objectives, an iris diaphragm, a swing-out filter holder and also a BF position for brightfield contrast. Phase contrast objectives are available in either EPL-PHi or PL-PHi versions. Supplied with alignment telescope and green filter
CONDENSER FOR SIMPLE PHASE CONTRAST
The height adjustable NA. 1.25 simple phase contrast condenser has a free slot for either a slider for 10/S40x phase contrast objectives, or a slider for 20/S100x phase contrast objectives. The condenser has an iris diaphragm and filter holder. The condenser includes a BF position for brightfield contrast with an iris diaphragm and filter holder. Phase contrast objectives available in either EPL-PHi or PL-PHi version. Supplied with alignment telescope and green filter
POLARIZATION
The bScope® has an integrated slot above the nosepiece for an optional polarization filter
FLUORESCENCE ATTACHMENT
• Epi-illumination with four 5 W LEDs for fluorescence excitation from 450 to 470 nm (blue), 515 to 535 nm (green), 390 to 400 (violet) and 360 to 370 nm (ultraviolet). External 100-240 V power supply
• Supplied with UV protection shield
• Fluorescence filter sets:
NEOLED™ TRANSMITTED ILLUMINATION
The 3 W adjustable Köhler NeoLED™ transmitted illumination is powered by an internal 100-240 V power supply making it suitable for worldwide use. The innovative NeoLED™ design offers larger apertures, allowing the optical system of the bScope® microscope to produce images at higher resolutions, very close to the theoretical diffraction limit of the optics. Other benefits of the NeoLED™ is the low energy consumption, no heating and a long operating life span
KÖHLER ILLUMINATION
A Köhler illumination ensures for all infinity corrected IOS models the highest possible contrast and the maximum achievable resolving power. Generates a uniform illumination of the sample and eliminates all interference from dust on lenses and side glare of the light source
CORDLESS USE
The optional rechargeable batteries turn the bScope® into a cordless system for transmitted illumination
CSS – CABLE STORAGE SYSTEM
Allows users to easily stow away excess cable length into the back of the instrument during operation and to roll up the power cable for easy storage
CARRYING GRIP
The integrated carrying grip at the back of the microscope ensures safe transportation of the microscope
ANTI-THEFT SLOT
At the back of the microscope a Kensington Security Slot is placed, which can be used to secure the instrument from theft
PACKAGE CONTENT
Smart styrofoam packaging ensures a low environmental footprint while maintaining maximum safety during transport. Supplied with power cord, dust cover, tools, a spare fuse, white filter, user manual and 5 ml immersion oil
