Description
Screen for tuberculosis and evaluate immunofluorescence antigens using the Optika B-510FL Trinocular Fluorescence Microscope. It features an external 100W HBO high-pressure mercury vapor lamp house paired with pre-installed Blue (FITC/acridine orange) and Green (TRITC/rhodamine) excitation filter cubes. Operating on an infinity-corrected IOS optical system, it delivers 40x, 100x, and 400x magnification via three IOS W-PLAN Plan-Achromatic objectives: 4x/0.10, 10x/0.25, and a high-transmission spring-loaded 40x/0.65 lens designed specifically for fluorescence signal clarity without autofluorescence flare.
Transmitted brightfield light is supplied by an 8W white X-LED8 Köhler illuminator with an adjustable field iris diaphragm and a swing-out Abbe condenser (NA 1.25). The 30-degree inclined trinocular head incorporates an overhead photo port with a selectable 100:0 visual / 0:100 camera beam splitter, paired with extra-widefield high-eyepoint WF 10x/22 mm eyepieces. The double-layer 233 x 147 mm mechanical stage provides 78 x 54 mm of low-drop coaxial XY travel, supported by a 10.5 kg cast chassis (270 x 390 x 435 mm) with 2-micron coaxial focus graduations on universal 100-240V AC power with an external mercury ballast console.
Key Features of Optika B-510FL Trinocular Fluorescence Microscope
A research-grade compound epi-fluorescence trinocular microscope featuring a 100W HBO mercury vapor light engine and dual Blue/Green filter cubes. Combines three IOS W-PLAN objectives with an 8W X-LED8 Köhler illuminator, swing-out Abbe condenser, and a dedicated vertical camera port.

100W HBO Mercury Light Engine & Fluorophore Excitation
Faint antibody signals and low-copy pathogens require high-density mercury spectral emission peaks to fluoresce cleanly. The 100W HBO arc lamp directs intense excitation rays through the Blue and Green filter blocks, causing tagged cellular markers to glow brightly against a pitch-black background. The external ballast console regulates arc voltage to prevent flicker, while the IOS W-PLAN optics preserve flat-field edge sharpness across the entire 22 mm field of view.
Full Köhler 8W X-LED8 & Trinocular Camera Output
Swapping between epi-fluorescence and standard brightfield pathology takes a flick of a lever: engage the sub-stage 8W X-LED8 to review cellular morphology under cool, daylight-balanced light without cooking live specimens. The swing-out Abbe condenser ensures uniform illumination across all magnifications, while the vertical photo port routes 100% of the light signal to digital C-mount cameras for low-noise documentation of patient slides.
- High-peak 100W HBO burner provides maximum signal-to-noise ratio on faint fluorophores
- Swing-out Abbe condenser matches light cones to low-power 4x overview scans and 40x passes
- Selectable beam splitter allows 100% light transfer to digital cameras for low-noise capture
