Motic AE2000 Inverted Binocular Phase Halogen Lab Gear

Description

Monitor live protozoa cultures and cellular monolayer confluence under phase contrast using the Motic AE2000 Binocular 200x Inverted Microscope. Powered by an infinity-corrected CCIS optical train, it delivers 40x, 100x, and 200x magnification via three Long Working Distance (LWD) Plan Phase objectives: 4x, 10x, and 20x. Focusing on low and intermediate magnification thresholds maximizes depth of field and working clearance for transgenic embryo sorting and live cell colony tracking. The 45-degree inclined Siedentopf binocular head rotates 360 degrees, fitted with high-eyepoint N-WF 10x/20 mm eyepieces featuring dual diopter rings across a 55 mm to 75 mm interpupillary span.

Transmitted illumination is supplied by an overhead swiveling arm housing a warm 6V/30W quartz halogen lamp, focused through an Extra Long Working Distance (ELWD) condenser (NA 0.30) with 72 mm of vertical clearance to clear tall Petri dishes and flasks. A 3-position phase slider plate lets you toggle between brightfield and phase contrast in seconds. The 200 x 239 mm fixed stage is finished in a hard-coat wear-resistant layer that accepts clear glass and metal insert discs. Weighing 12.5 kg, this biological platform features coaxial coarse and fine focus knobs with 2-micron graduations on internal brass gear tracks, running on universal 100-240V AC power.

Key Features of Motic AE2000 Binocular 200x Inverted Microscope

A professional inverted biological tissue culture microscope featuring CCIS Long Working Distance phase contrast optics and an ELWD condenser. Combines 40x to 200x magnification with 72 mm of vertical clearance, 30W quartz halogen lighting, and a 200 x 239 mm wear-resistant stage.

• ELWD condenser (NA 0.30) provides 72 mm of vertical clearance for tall vessels
• Overhead swiveling lamp house with 6V/30W quartz halogen bulb and continuous dimmer
• Binocular viewing head inclined at 45 degrees with 360-degree rotation for shared use
• Double-layer 200 x 239 mm hard-coated stage accepts glass and metal insert discs
• Coaxial coarse and fine focus drive with 2-micrometer fine division markings
• High-eyepoint N-WF 10x/20 mm eyepieces with bilateral diopter adjustment rings

Inverted CCIS Phase Optics & Low-Power Screening

Transgenic embryo manipulation and stem cell colony tracking rely heavily on wide-field, high-contrast scanning. The CCIS LWD Plan Phase optics eliminate optical curvature across the 20 mm field of view, keeping delicate embryo cleavage furrows and blastocyst walls sharp from center to edge. The ELWD condenser slider lets you slip phase rings into the light path instantly, transforming invisible refractive variations into high-contrast amplitude details without toxic fluorescent stains.

72mm Overhead Clearance & Heavy-Duty Stability

With 72 mm of open space beneath the condenser, loading tall culture flasks, Petri dishes, and multi-well plates is fast and spill-free. The swiveling lamp house tilts back completely when you need extra room for micromanipulation tools. At 12.5 kg, the heavy cast-metal base plate keeps the entire optical system dead still, preventing focal drift caused by ambient floor rumble. Coaxial coarse and fine focus knobs operate on precision brass gear tracks, allowing smooth focal transitions through liquid layers.

• Swiveling overhead illumination arm clears space for bulky roller bottles and pipettes
• Die-cast metal frame provides rigid stability during liquid-medium cell screening
• Brass coaxial focus gears ensure smooth, backlash-free focal plane navigation
