Optika B510PH Phase Contrast Trinocular W-Plan IOS Gear

Description

Isolate unstained tumor cell margins and living mitotic structures using the Optika B-510PH Phase Contrast Microscope. Operating with an infinity-corrected IOS optical system, it delivers 100x, 200x, 400x, and 1000x magnification through four specialized IOS W-PLAN PH high-contrast objectives: PH 10x/0.25, PH 20x/0.40, spring-loaded PH 40x/0.65, and spring-loaded PH 100x/1.25 oil immersion. Extra-widefield high-eyepoint WF 10x/22 mm eyepieces provide an expansive 22 mm field of view, keeping cellular boundaries sharp across wide smears.

Transmitted light is driven by a patented X-LED8 8W white LED module paired with a full Köhler field iris diaphragm, providing intense, daylight-balanced illumination through an advanced 5-position turret condenser (NA 1.25) with selectable phase rings and a brightfield aperture. The 30-degree inclined trinocular head features an overhead vertical photo port with a selectable 100:0 visual / 0:100 camera beam splitter. The oversized 233 x 147 mm mechanical stage provides 78 x 54 mm of low-drop coaxial XY travel, supported by a 9.2 kg cast frame with coaxial focus knobs calibrated to 2-micron fine division markings.

Key Features of Optika B-510PH Phase Contrast Microscope

A professional laboratory trinocular phase-contrast compound microscope engineered for oncology research, live cell monitoring, and microbiology. Features four IOS W-PLAN phase infinity objectives, an 8W X-LED8 Köhler illuminator, a 5-position turret condenser, and a dedicated camera port.

Infinity W-PLAN Phase Optics & 5-Position Turret Condenser

Chemical fixatives and histological dyes kill living organisms and distort cell morphology. The W-PLAN phase optics and Zernike turret condenser convert subtle phase shifts into crisp amplitude contrast, rendering unstained cytoplasm, nuclei, and bacterial flagella with needle-sharp definition against a neutral background. Rotating the condenser wheel lets technicians toggle between 10x, 20x, 40x, and 100x phase rings instantly without unseating hardware.

Full Köhler 8W X-LED8 & Trinocular Camera Output

The 8W X-LED8 light engine matches a 100W halogen bulb in output while running completely cool, preventing thermal currents from drying out live wet mounts. The field iris diaphragm allows precise control over illuminated field diameter, eliminating internal reflections and optical glare. The vertical photo port routes clean optical signals to external digital cameras for live time-lapse recording and publication-grade photomicrography.

• 5-position turret condenser eliminates the hassle of swapping individual phase sliders
• Cool-running 8W LED light engine eliminates heat transfer to delicate living cultures
• Selectable beam splitter allows 100% light transfer to digital cameras for low-noise capture
