Phase contrast accessory iScope IS.9161 — Slider set with annuli for 20x and S100x oil PLPH objectives (Euromex)

The Phase contrast accessory iScope IS.9161 provides phase contrast capability for compatible iScope microscopes, enabling high-contrast observation of unstained, transparent specimens using specified oil PLPH objectives.

• Compatible with 20x and S100x oil PLPH objectives
• Includes phase contrast annuli for precise imaging
• Designed for iScope microscope series
• Enables high-contrast live cell observation

Improved visibility for transparent samples without staining

Phase contrast converts optical phase shifts produced by transparent structures into intensity differences, allowing clear visualisation of cells and thin sections without dyes. The supplied annuli are matched to oil PLPH objectives at 20x and S100x magnifications, which preserves specimen integrity and reduces preparation time. For laboratory workflows where sample preservation and rapid observation matter, this accessory offers a direct technical route to enhanced contrast and reliable morphological assessment.

Seamless integration with iScope optics for routine workflows

The slider set is engineered for compatibility with the iScope series and accepts the corresponding oil PLPH objectives, ensuring correct alignment of condenser annuli and objective phase rings. Correct pairing of annulus and objective minimises halo artefacts and optimises contrast, which is particularly beneficial in teaching laboratories and diagnostic routines. The configuration supports consistent imaging results and faster setup, reducing downtime between observations and improving throughput.

Practical benefits for live-cell and diagnostic applications

By enabling phase contrast on existing microscopes, the accessory supports non-invasive monitoring of living cultures and dynamic processes in real time. The combination of matched annuli and oil PLPH objectives enhances edge definition and detail resolution for thin, low-contrast specimens. This accessory is therefore well suited to applications where sample viability and quick decision-making are priorities, delivering technical advantage through targeted optical matching rather than electronic image processing.

FAQ

What objectives are supported by this accessory?
The phase contrast accessory iScope IS.9161 is supplied with annuli matched specifically to 20x and S100x oil PLPH objectives for correct phase alignment.

Can the accessory be used for live-cell observation?
Yes, the slider set supports non-invasive live-cell and culture monitoring when used with the matching oil PLPH objectives, allowing dynamic processes to be observed without staining.

Is the accessory compatible with all iScope microscope models?
The accessory is designed for the iScope series; compatibility depends on the microscope’s condenser and objective configuration—check the iScope specifications to confirm alignment.

Does the set include both annuli and objectives?
The accessory includes the phase contrast annuli matched to 20x and S100x oil PLPH objectives; objective availability should be verified separately if not already present on the microscope.

How does correct annulus-objective pairing affect image quality?
Proper pairing of annuli and objective phase rings reduces halo artefacts and improves contrast and edge definition, which is essential for accurate morphological assessment.
