IScope binocular microscope for asbestos research – EWF 12.5x eyepieces, plan PLi objectives (Euromex)

An IScope binocular microscope designed for asbestos identification and routine lab inspection, combining wide-field eyepieces, plan PLi optics and Köhler brightfield illumination for precise, repeatable imaging.

• Binocular head with EWF 12.5x / 15 mm eyepieces
• Plan PLi objectives 4x, 10x and S40x PLPHi
• 216 x 150 mm stage without protruding rack
• 3 W NeoLED Köhler brightfield illumination

Precision optics that support confident fibre identification

The instrument’s optical configuration centres on EWF eyepieces with a 15 mm field number and plan PLi objectives, engineered to deliver a flat field and consistent edge sharpness across the field of view. Such optical quality reduces subjective interpretation when inspecting potential asbestos fibres, improving repeatability between operators. The inclusion of an S40x PLPHi objective gives a focused intermediate magnification for detailed morphology checks while retaining good depth of field; this supports faster decision-making in routine sample screening.

Illumination and ergonomics that reduce fatigue and speed workflows

A stable Köhler illumination system driven by a 3 W NeoLED source provides even brightfield light with minimal heat generation and rapid stabilisation. The consistent contrast benefits both visual assessment and any secondary image capture, while the binocular head eases long inspection sessions and reduces operator strain. Collectively, these features support sustained productivity in the laboratory and help maintain consistent assessment criteria across multiple specimens.

Stage design and sample handling for safe, efficient examination

The 216 x 150 mm stage is designed without a protruding rack, permitting unobstructed slide movement and secure placement of prepared specimens. This layout simplifies handling of delicate samples and minimises accidental contact during focusing or positioning. The compact yet functional stage footprint makes the instrument suitable for bench spaces where several devices or workstation accessories must be accommodated, while maintaining the stability required for precise microscopic work.

Integration into laboratory routines and procurement confidence

Supplied as part of the iScope line by Euromex, the instrument is specified for consistent performance in analytical and diagnostic settings. The optical and illumination choices favour reproducibility and ease of training, helping laboratories implement standardised inspection workflows. If additional documentation or clarifications are required, technical advisors can supply specimen handling recommendations and optical verification procedures to align the instrument with laboratory quality protocols.

FAQ

What magnifications are included with this microscope?
The Euromex iScope (IS.1052-PLAi) is supplied with EWF 12.5x eyepieces and plan PLi objectives at 4x and 10x, plus an S40x PLPHi objective for higher-detail inspection.

Is the illumination suitable for fibre contrast in brightfield?
Yes — the 3 W NeoLED Köhler brightfield system in the iScope provides even illumination and stable contrast suitable for routine asbestos screening.

Does the stage design support safe slide manipulation?
The 216 x 150 mm stage is free of a protruding rack, allowing unobstructed slide movement and safer handling of delicate samples during examination with the iScope.

Can this microscope be used for documentation or only visual assessment?
While configured primarily for visual asbestos analysis, the optical stability and even NeoLED lighting of the iScope support consistent image capture workflows when paired with appropriate camera adapters and imaging accessories.

Who supplies the instrument and how is delivery arranged?
The instrument is distributed via Metav Werkzeuge; Metav can advise on delivery, integration and accessory options for the Euromex iScope (IS.1052-PLAi).
