Description
The Optika B-159R-PLV Digital LCD Microscope delivers standalone cellular screening and classroom projection without external computers. It features an integrated high-definition color LCD screen mounted to a 30-degree inclined, 360-degree rotating head, streaming real-time video directly from an internal 2.0 Megapixel CMOS sensor. Powered by an anti-fungal finite optical train, it provides discrete 40x, 100x, 400x, and 1000x magnification through four N-PLAN semi-planchromatic objectives: 4x, 10x, spring-loaded 40x, and spring-loaded 100x oil immersion.
Transmitted light is driven by a patented X-LED1 1W white LED system with a custom optical condensing lens, controlled by a manual dimmer scroll wheel on the base. A height-adjustable Abbe 1.25 NA condenser features an iris diaphragm for contrast tuning on wet mounts. The 125 x 115 mm double-layer mechanical stage provides 70 x 30 mm of drop-down coaxial XY translation, while coaxial coarse and fine focus knobs feature 0.002 mm (2-micron) graduations across a 4.2 kg frame powered by internal rechargeable batteries and universal 100-240V AC power.
Key Features of Optika B-159R-PLV Digital LCD Microscope

Integrated LCD Screen & Semi-Planchromatic Optics
Replacing traditional oculars with an eye-level LCD screen allows entire student groups to observe live specimen movements simultaneously without crowding or readjusting eyecups. N-PLAN objectives correct field curvature across the specimen field, keeping stained blood cells and protozoa sharp from center to perimeter. Spring mounts on the 40x and 100x objectives protect slide cover slips from accidental mechanical strikes during high-power passes.
Cordless Field Mobility & Coaxial Stage Mechanics
Tangled power cables create clutter on crowded diagnostic benches. The internal rechargeable battery pack keeps the microscope running all day on a single charge, allowing seamless transport between laboratory prep benches and student workstations. The coaxial mechanical stage controls sit low to the table surface, giving technicians smooth two-axis slide tracking across a 70 x 30 mm area with resting forearms.
- Integrated LCD monitor eliminates eyepiece eye strain and promotes collaborative viewing
- Internal rechargeable batteries allow cordless microscopy anywhere in the field or lab
- Coaxial focus mechanics with 2-micron graduations provide delicate focal plane control
