Biological Microscope Achios-X Observer AX.1153-PLPHi — Trinocular system with phase-contrast optics

A compact biological microscope designed for routine laboratory investigation and documentation, equipped with a trinocular head and plan phase-contrast objectives for clear, high-contrast imaging.

• Trinocular head for camera integration
• Plan phase-contrast objectives IOS
• EW 10x/22 mm eyepieces included
• 100x oil immersion objective available

Reliable imaging and documentation for routine laboratories

The Achios-X Observer AX.1153-PLPHi pairs a trinocular head with high-quality eyepieces and objectives to deliver dependable imagery for both inspection and digital capture. The trinocular configuration allows simultaneous eyepiece observation and camera attachment, which streamlines documentation workflows and reduces handling time. Built around EW 10x/22 mm eyepieces, the optical train maintains a wide field of view while the Plan-phase contrast IOS objectives correct flatness and minimise edge distortion, producing uniformly sharp images across the field. This combination supports accurate observation of unstained or weakly contrasted specimens, making the instrument suitable for teaching, research support and routine diagnostic tasks.

High-contrast optics that simplify interpretation

Phase-contrast is a decisive advantage when working with transparent biological samples; the integrated Plan-phase contrast objectives enhance detail without the need for staining. The objective set (10x, 20x, 40x and 100x oil immersion) provides a versatile magnification range for cell and tissue work. The 100x oil immersion objective increases numerical aperture for fine structural resolution, enabling clearer identification of sub-cellular features. Because the optics are corrected for planarity, images remain sharp from centre to edge, reducing the need for repeated focusing and improving throughput in multi-sample workflows. The IOS designation indicates compatibility with standard phase-contrast condensers and accessories, facilitating integration into existing laboratory setups.
