• Köhler LED illumination for even field
• Mechanical X‑Y stage with smooth travel

High-contrast imaging for unstained specimens

Phase contrast is the core capability that sets this instrument apart. Equipped with plan phase-contrast IOS objectives and EWF 10x/22 mm eyepieces, the instrument converts phase differences into visible contrast so transparent cells and tissues are rendered with clarity without staining. The combination of plan-corrected optics and phase rings ensures a flat field across the view and reduces optical aberrations; this yields images that are easier to quantify and reproduce in routine workflows. The optical design supports consistent interpretation of subtle morphological details, which benefits teaching labs and diagnostic preparations alike.

Stable handling and integrated documentation workflow

A trinocular head provides a direct path for camera integration while the mechanical X‑Y stage allows precise specimen positioning and repeatable scans across a slide. The wide-field eyepieces deliver a comfortable view for prolonged sessions and make alignment of the camera sensor straightforward. Mechanical stage control reduces sample repositioning time and increases throughput for serial observations. These elements combine to offer an efficient microscopy workflow where reproducible frame capture and reliable sample navigation become standard, reducing setup time and improving day-to-day productivity in practical teaching and research tasks.

Consistent illumination and careful sample observation

Illumination is provided by Köhler LED, delivering an even field and stable colour temperature that supports reproducible imaging and reduces thermal load on specimens. An iCare sensor is integrated to monitor illumination conditions and help maintain steady light levels throughout an examination; this contributes to less frequent adjustments and a lower risk of photobleaching during prolonged observations. Köhler alignment ensures even illumination across the field of view, which simplifies contrast balancing and enhances the quality of micrographs for documentation or image analysis workflows.

Built for teaching, life-science labs and routine microscopy

This model is tailored for environments that require robust optics, straightforward operation and the option to document results digitally. The instrument’s specification supports a broad range of applications from educational exercises to routine cell observations in life-science laboratories. The design emphasises stability and repeatability, offering users a dependable microscope that integrates easily into existing lab setups. For laboratories seeking accessible precision, the unit represents a practical balance of optical performance and operational reliability.
