Description
Eliminating background glare during clinical cytology logging, the Euromex IS.1153-PLPHi Phase Contrast Microscope provides crisp transmitted phase imaging across medical research desks. Powered by an infinity-corrected IOS optical train, it delivers 100x, 200x, 400x, and 1000x magnification via four Plan Phase PLPHi IOS objectives: 10x/0.25, 20x/0.40, spring-loaded 40x/0.65, and spring-loaded 100x/1.25 oil immersion. The 30-degree inclined trinocular head features an integrated light path selector slider and a vertical 23.2 mm camera port, paired with high-eyepoint EWF 10x/22 mm eyepieces across a 48 mm to 76 mm interpupillary span.
Transmitted light comes from an energy-efficient 3W NeoLED base lamp focused through a Zernike NA 1.25 phase disc slider condenser with dedicated ring slots for 10x, 20x, 40x, and 100x objectives plus an open brightfield aperture. The smart iCare sensor automatically powers down the light source when operators step away from the bench, extending diode life and conserving power. Built on a 7.8 kg metal frame measuring 210 x 310 x 475 mm, it includes a 156 x 138 mm mechanical stage (75 x 50 mm XY travel), coaxial focus knobs with 1.4-micron graduations, and internal universal 100-240V AC power with integrated cable storage.

Infinity Plan Phase Optics & Zernike Annular Tracking
Chemical dyes often distort cellular morphology or kill living microorganisms. The Zernike phase slider shifts the phase of transmitted light waves, converting invisible refractive variations into sharp amplitude contrast. Nuclei, epithelial borders, and bacterial cell walls stand out cleanly against a neutral gray background. The included green interference filter narrows the spectrum to 546 nm, eliminating chromatic aberration and boosting phase contrast across thin smears.
Trinocular Image Capture & Smart iCare Automation
The dedicated vertical photo port allows seamless connection of digital C-mount cameras, letting researchers stream high-resolution video to archival computers while maintaining binocular viewing through the eyepieces. The integrated iCare sensor prevents unnecessary heating of optical housings by powering down the LED after inactivity, restoring full illumination the moment technicians return. Coaxial focus knobs with 1.4-micron steps provide delicate control when stepping through wet preparations.
- Vertical photo port routes clean optical data to external digital video capture systems
- iCare motion sensor cuts energy consumption and prevents unnecessary optical heating
- Reversed quintuple nosepiece leaves the stage completely open for rapid slide swaps
