Hund H600 AFL Plan 100 Fluorescence Binocular Optics

Description

Detect molecular fluorophore markers and perform clinical cellular assays using the Hund H600 AFL Plan Microscope epifluorescence laboratory platform. Engineered around a high-performance infinity-corrected optical train, this German-built medical research instrument delivers 100x, 400x, and 1000x magnification settings. It uses Plan Achromatic infinity-corrected objectives (10x/0.25, 40x/0.65, and 100x/1.25 oil-immersion) that flatten the entire focal plane and eliminate optical flare under high-intensity UV and short-wavelength excitation.

The optical system combines dual independent light sources: an internal 6V 30W halogen lamp for standard brightfield slide reviews, and a high-power 100W HBO mercury vapor burner capsule mounted in the rear vertical epi-fluorescence tower for UV, Blue, and Green fluorophore excitation. A dedicated external stabilizing ballast console regulates power to the HBO burner to prevent arc flicker. The 30-degree inclined binocular head carries high-eyepoint WF 10x/20 mm eyepieces, while the 160 x 140 mm double-layer mechanical stage features low-positioned coaxial X-Y controls (76 x 50 mm travel) and coaxial coarse/fine focusing knobs calibrated to 2-micron precision increments. Total system mass is 11.8 kg.

Key Features of Hund H600 AFL Plan Microscope

Infinity Plan Optics & Epifluorescence Excitation Channels

Plan Achromatic infinity objectives correct chromatic aberration and field curvature across the full 20 mm field of view, keeping cellular membranes sharp right to the visual periphery. The rear epi-fluorescence vertical tower directs light from the 100W mercury burner through an efficient filter slider mechanism. Operators can slide between UV, Blue, and Green excitation cubes in a fraction of a second, making multi-fluorophore immunofluorescence protocols and cell-viability tagging fast and reproducible.

Coaxial 2-Micron Focus Mechanics & Heavy-Duty Ballast

Resolving fluorophores at 1000x oil immersion demands flawless focal control. The coaxial fine-focus dial moves in graduated 2-micron steps, giving pathologists the delicate sensitivity needed to dissect thin optical sections without overshooting. The external ballast console dampens voltage surges to feed clean, ripple-free current to the mercury arc lamp, extending burner lifespan and preventing baseline signal drift during critical diagnostic fluorescence evaluations.

• Calibrated 2-micrometer fine-focus gearing ensures razor-sharp focal plane isolation
• Multi-position excitation slider allows rapid toggling between fluorescence wavelengths
• Sub-stage 1.25 NA Abbe condenser dials in optimal contrast for standard brightfield screening
