bScope BS.9163 Phase Contrast Kit – Abbe condenser, infinity-corrected phase objectives

The bScope BS.9163 is a phase contrast kit for transmitted-light microscopy that supplies an Abbe condenser with a slider slot, infinity-corrected phase objectives and essential accessories for enhanced specimen contrast.

• Abbe condenser with slider slot
• Infinity-corrected Plan PLPHi objectives
• Slider with 20x and 100x annuli

Enhanced contrast for transparent specimens with phase optics

Designed to convert subtle phase shifts into visible contrast, the kit centres on an Abbe condenser with a dedicated slot for the phase slider. The combination of condenser and matched annuli ensures that phase differences in transparent samples are translated into sharp intensity variations, enabling reliable visualisation of live cells, unstained tissues and thin sections. The presence of infinity-corrected optics reduces aberrations when used with modern trinocular microscope systems, so the optical train remains stable under different tube lens configurations and camera setups.

Precision objectives for detailed observation at high magnification

This set includes Plan PLPHi objectives configured for phase contrast, covering medium and high magnification ranges including an oil immersion 100x option for maximum resolution. The objectives are corrected for flatness (Plan) to maintain field uniformity across the image and are optimised for the phase annuli supplied on the slider. The matched 20x annulus and 100x annulus enable quick switching between routine overview and fine-detail inspection without compromising optical alignment, supporting efficient workflows in laboratories and teaching environments.

Practical accessories to support imaging and alignment

A small telescope and a green filter are included to facilitate alignment and enhance contrast during observation: the telescope aids in aligning condenser annuli with objective phase rings, while the filter improves image definition by restricting illumination to a central wavelength, reducing chromatic effects. These accessories simplify setup and help maintain reproducible imaging conditions, which is particularly valuable when integrating a camera or when different operators need consistent results across sessions.

Compatibility and application benefits for routine microscopy

The kit is intended for transmitted-light microscopes that accept an Abbe-type condenser and benefit most from phase contrast when examining unstained or weakly absorbing specimens. The infinity-corrected design means compatibility with modern microscope stands and digital imaging systems; optical corrections reduce the need for time-consuming recalibration between magnifications. As a result, laboratories can expect more efficient sample throughput and clearer documentation of subtle structures without additional staining steps.

FAQ

Which components are included in the kit?
The kit contains an Abbe condenser with a slider slot, Plan PLPHi phase objectives including 20x and 100x (oil) options, a slider with the corresponding annuli, a telescope and a green filter.

Is the 100x objective oil immersion?
Yes, the 100x objective supplied in the BS.9163 set is an oil immersion, designed for high-resolution phase contrast work.

Can the phase kit be used with digital cameras?
The infinity-corrected design of the included objectives facilitates integration with modern camera systems and camera adapters without significant optical modifications.

What specimen types benefit most from this configuration?
Unstained, transparent specimens such as live cells, thin tissue sections and microorganisms benefit most from phase contrast enabled by the supplied annuli and condenser.

Does the kit require special alignment?
Initial alignment is recommended; the included telescope and green filter assist in matching the condenser annuli to the objective phase rings for optimal contrast and reproducible imaging.
