Description
Eliminating immersion oil mess during routine blood screening, the Optika B383DK Darkfield Trinocular X-LED Laboratory Gear delivers 40x to 1000x magnification across an infinity-corrected E-PLAN optical path. Widefield 10x eyepieces provide a 20mm field number. The NA 0.90 dry darkfield condenser permits rapid 400x cellular checks, though resolving bacteria at 1000x requires standard brightfield oil immersion.
A rigid 7.5 kg aluminum stand supports a reversed quadruple nosepiece with four E-PLAN IOS objectives, a 3.6W X-LED3 light engine, and dual substage condensers. The rackless mechanical stage measures 216 by 150 mm with 78 by 54 mm low-position XY travel. Coaxial focus provides 2-micron fine graduations with an adjustable tension slip, paired with a 30-degree inclined trinocular tube offering 48mm to 75mm interpupillary spacing and a fixed 50:50 photo port split.
Key Features of Optika B383DK Darkfield Trinocular X-LED Laboratory Gear
Veterinary diagnostic clinics, medical teaching laboratories, and live blood screening rooms select this dry darkfield workstation for rapid, mess-free specimen checks. The dual-condenser system allows technicians to swap between standard brightfield and dry darkfield modes in seconds without cleaning messy immersion oil off the stage.

- Dual condenser package featuring NA 1.25 Abbe brightfield and specialized NA 0.90 dry darkfield units
- High-efficiency 3.6W X-LED3 illumination system equivalent to a 50W halogen lamp
- Beltless double-layer mechanical stage (216 x 150 mm) with low-position coaxial XY controls
- Coaxial coarse and fine focusing mechanism with 2-micron fine graduations and safety stop
Dry Darkfield Optics & X-LED Illumination
The dry darkfield condenser utilizes a hollow light cone with an NA of 0.90, illuminating unstained live blood samples and urinary sediments up to 400x magnification without requiring contact fluids. The 3.6W X-LED3 light engine delivers high-intensity daylight illumination across all dimmer settings, providing high contrast against black backgrounds while remaining cool enough to protect live specimens.
Rackless Stage Mechanics & Focus Gearing
Positioned low on the right side, the coaxial stage knobs allow operators to rest their wrists comfortably on the bench while translating specimen slides across the 78 by 54 mm envelope. The rackless stage movement prevents accidental hand scrapes, and the coaxial focus assembly tracks through 2-micron divisions with zero gear backlash.
- Rackless mechanical stage design eliminates side-protruding gear rails for safer slide scanning
- Trinocular photo tube allows direct connection of digital C-mount cameras for team viewing
- Reversed nosepiece orientation provides open access to the stage for rapid slide exchanges
