Description
Record quantitative live-cell phase contrast data with an integrated 5.0MP camera using the Euromex BS.1157-PLPHi Digital Microscope. Built around an infinity-corrected IOS optical system, it delivers 100x, 200x, 400x, and 1000x magnification through four Plan Phase PLPHi IOS objectives: 10x, 20x, spring-loaded 40x, and spring-loaded 100x oil immersion. An active 5.0 Megapixel color CMOS sensor is built directly into the binocular head casting, streaming 2560 x 1920 pixel video straight to computers over USB 2.0 without loose camera adapters.
Transmitted illumination is supplied by an energy-efficient 3W NeoLED lamp focused through a Zernike NA 1.25 multi-phase turret condenser with centering sleeves, built-in iris diaphragm, and selectable phase annuli. Built around a 6.5 kg metal frame measuring 210 x 255 x 410 mm, the unit houses internal rechargeable batteries for cordless operation and a 152 x 131 mm scratch-resistant mechanical stage (75 x 36 mm XY travel). Coaxial coarse and fine focus knobs feature calibrated 1.8-micron fine division markings, friction drag regulation, and an adjustable safety rack stop.

Zernike Multi-Phase Turret & Integrated 5MP Capture
Chemical stains often kill delicate living cells or distort cell wall morphology. By shifting light waves as they pass through specimen boundaries, this Zernike phase system converts subtle refractive index differences into sharp grayscale contrast. Nuclei, cytoplasmic granules, and living bacteria stand out cleanly against a neutral gray background. The integrated 5MP CMOS camera lets pathologists record real-time video clips of living protozoa and cellular motility without loose camera attachments.
Cordless Bench Freedom & Coaxial Stage Mechanics
Tangled power cords create clutter on crowded diagnostic benches. The internal rechargeable battery pack keeps the cool 3W NeoLED lamp running all day on a single charge, allowing seamless transport between laboratory prep benches and process control rooms. The coaxial mechanical stage controls sit low to the table surface, giving technicians smooth two-axis slide tracking across a 75 x 36 mm area with resting forearms.
- Integrated 5MP camera array eliminates external hardware setup, linking straight to PCs over USB
- Internal rechargeable batteries allow cordless microscopy anywhere in the field or lab
- Revolving Zernike turret eliminates the hassle of swapping individual phase sliders
