Optika B510DK Darkfield Trinocular W-Plan IOS Equipment

Description

Built for live blood analysis and unstained pathogen tracking, the Optika B510DK Darkfield Trinocular W-Plan IOS Equipment delivers 40x to 1000x magnification across an infinity-corrected optical path. Widefield 10x eyepieces provide an expansive 22mm field number. The high-numerical-aperture 1.36 immersion condenser resolves spirochetes with high contrast, though oiling both condenser and objective requires diligent post-session solvent cleaning.

A cast-alloy pyramid stand houses a reversed quintuple nosepiece with four W-PLAN IOS objectives, an 8W X-LED8 light engine, and interchangeable condensers. The beltless double-layer mechanical stage measures 233 by 147 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 50mm to 75mm interpupillary adjustment and a fixed 50:50 photo port split.

Key Features of Optika B510DK Darkfield Trinocular W-Plan IOS Equipment

Clinical hematology practitioners, wastewater validation specialists, and darkfield researchers utilize this specialized microscope for high-magnification living cell observation. The dedicated oil-immersion darkfield condenser channels high-intensity light through an integrated LED guide, making unstained bacteria glow brightly against a pitch-black background.

• IOS infinity-corrected optical system configured for 40x, 100x, 400x, and 1000x magnification
• W-PLAN Plan Achromat objectives: 4x, 10x, 40x, and special 100x oil with built-in iris diaphragm
• Trinocular observation tube with 30-degree inclination, 50mm to 75mm IPD range, and 50:50 photo split
• Widefield high-eyepoint 10x eyepieces delivering an expansive 22mm field number (FN 22)
• Dual condenser suite including NA 1.25 Abbe brightfield and NA 1.36 immersion darkfield units
• High-power X-LED8 transmitted light matrix delivering intense daylight-balanced illumination
• Beltless double-layer mechanical stage (233 x 147 mm) with scratch-resistant coating and XY drive
• Coaxial coarse and fine focusing assembly with 2-micron graduations and adjustable tension control

Immersive Darkfield Physics & Objective Iris Control

Immersive oil darkfield illumination channels high-angle light rays through the NA 1.36 cardioid condenser, directing direct beams away from the objective lens to capture only refracted light from specimen edges. The specialized 100x oil objective features an internal iris diaphragm that adjusts numerical aperture from 1.25 down to 0.60, balancing background darkness against resolving power to reveal living spirochetes and platelets without blinding flare.

Beltless Stage Ergonomics & Precision Mechanics

Low-mounted coaxial translation knobs glide the 233 by 147 mm beltless stage smoothly across a 78 by 54 mm grid, eliminating the vibration and wear associated with traditional rack gears. The coaxial focus drive operates with smooth 2-micron sensitivity, while the tension control ring prevents stage slip under heavy slide loads.

• Beltless mechanical stage drive provides silent, fluid specimen translation without exposed rack tracks
• Fixed 50:50 trinocular prism split enables continuous live digital documentation during visual checks
• Integrated darkfield LED light guide delivers focused, high-lumen illumination directly to the immersion oil layer
