Phase contrast kit bScope BS.9126 — Zernike objectives with rotating condenser (Euromex)

The Phase contrast kit bScope BS.9126 converts standard upright microscopes into a robust phase contrast system for observing unstained, transparent biological specimens; the kit is intended for laboratory and educational microscopy where enhanced contrast and optical fidelity are required.

• Zernike phase contrast optics included
• Infinity-corrected phase objectives
• Rotating condenser for precise alignment
• Green contrast filter and telescope

Phase contrast imaging emphasises optical path differences in transparent specimens, making subcellular structures visible without staining. The kit uses Zernike phase optics to boost image contrast while preserving specimen integrity, which reduces preparation time and avoids potential artefacts from dyes. For laboratories aiming for faster workflows, this approach supports clearer visualisation of live cells and thin tissues with minimal intervention.

Compatibility with modern optical systems and stable imaging

The supplied plan PLPHi 10/20/40 and S100x oil phase objectives are infinity-corrected, ensuring optical compatibility with contemporary microscope stands that use infinity optics. Infinity correction maintains flat fields and consistent parfocality across magnifications, which improves ease of use during multi-objective observations and simplifies camera integration for documentation. The result is reliable, repeatable imaging across routine tasks.

Accurate alignment for repeatable phase contrast

Correct phase contrast requires precise matching of condenser and objective phase rings; the included rotating condenser and telescope assist optical alignment, allowing the phase ring and annulus to be centred quickly. The green filter sharpens contrast at typical brightfield wavelengths, improving image stability and reducing chromatic mismatch. Together these elements minimise set-up time and support consistent results across users and sessions.

Practical range and laboratory benefits

With objectives covering low to high magnifications, including a 100x oil objective for high-resolution work, the set extends the capabilities of an existing microscope without extensive hardware changes. The kit supports a range of applications from live-cell observation to routine diagnostic checks, helping laboratories increase functionality while keeping workflows straightforward and serviceable.

FAQ

What does phase contrast allow that brightfield does not?
Phase contrast emphasises refractive-index differences in transparent specimens; the Euromex Phase contrast kit bScope BS.9126 enhances visibility of fine internal structures without staining.

Which objectives are included in the kit?
The kit contains plan PLPHi 10x, 20x and 40x phase objectives and an S100x oil phase objective for high-magnification work.

Is the kit suitable for microscopes with infinity optics?
Yes — the set uses infinity-corrected phase objectives (IOS), so the optics are compatible with microscopes designed for infinity systems.

Does the 100x objective require immersion oil?
Yes, the S100x oil objective is an oil-immersion lens and must be used with appropriate immersion oil for correct imaging.

Are alignment components included to set up phase contrast?
Yes, the package includes a Zernike rotating condenser, a telescope for alignment and a green filter to assist correct setup and improve contrast.
