Order the Phase contrast set Achios‑X Observer AX.9126 directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed. Phase contrast set Achios‑X Observer AX.9126 — Zernike condenser with PLPHi objectives by Euromex The Phase contrast set Achios‑X Observer AX.9126 is a complete Zernike phase contrast kit for transmitted‑light microscopes, designed to deliver enhanced contrast for transparent specimens and live‑cell observation. Zernike phase contrast components Includes oil-immersion objectives Green filter for enhanced contrast Compatible with Achios‑X Observer series Improved contrast without staining for clearer live imaging The Zernike system in this kit uses a Zernike phase condenser to convert phase shifts in transparent specimens into amplitude differences, enabling visible contrast without staining. That approach preserves sample integrity and accelerates workflows in biological and medical labs. The configuration is particularly suited to observing live cells and thin tissues where staining is impractical, providing consistently enhanced phase contrast while maintaining optical fidelity and specimen viability. High-resolution objectives and filtration for sharper detail Bundled PLPHi 10x/20x/40x/100x oil immersion objectives increase resolving power and permit high‑magnification phase contrast examinations. The oil immersion objective improves numerical aperture and resolution by matching refractive indices between the specimen and lens, which is essential for observing fine intracellular structures. The included green filter enhances image contrast by narrowing the illumination bandwidth, while the telescope accessory supports precise illumination alignment, resulting in more reproducible, high‑quality images for documentation and analysis. Practical integration and suitable applications for workshop and teaching environments Engineered for compatibility with Achios‑X Observer stands, this phase contrast kit installs without major modification and supports routine microscopy tasks in research, teaching and clinical settings. The set is an effective way to upgrade transmitted‑light capabilities without replacing the microscope body, offering a cost‑efficient path to phase contrast microscopy. If clarification on compatibility or additional technical specifications is required, technical enquiry options are available to confirm suitability for specific workflows.

Quarter-wave plate slider for reflected-light polarisation — Euromex IS.9612-R The Quarter-wave plate slider IS.9612-R is a precision accessory for polarisation microscopy, designed to introduce adjustable retardation in reflected-light illumination for iScope polarisation models. Quarter-wave plate in slider format For reflected-light illumination Compatible with iScope polarisation models Manufacturer: Euromex, SKU IS.9612-R Improved contrast and polarisation control for reflected-light work A quarter-wave plate (λ/4 plate) is an optical retarder that shifts the phase between orthogonal polarisation components; this converts linearly polarised light into circular polarisation or adjusts the ellipticity of the beam. In reflected-light microscopy, that phase shift can be used to enhance contrast and reveal surface stress or birefringence effects that would otherwise remain hidden. The slider-mounted design permits quick changeover and consistent optical alignment, ensuring that the retardation effect is reproducible from one specimen to the next. Slider format that speeds up routine inspection The slider mechanism integrates the retarder element into standard filter housings or illumination carriers used in polarisation setups, enabling immediate insertion and removal without additional tools. This format supports efficient workflows in production control and research labs where time and repeatability matter. By combining compact physical integration with stable optical positioning, the slider reduces handling time and minimises the chance of misalignment, delivering repeatable positioning and improved throughput during microscope-based inspections. Designed for iScope polarisation systems and reflected-light applications This accessory has been developed for compatibility with iScope polarisation models, matching the mechanical and optical interfaces commonly used in those systems. The element is intended specifically for reflected-light illumination, so it is best suited to surface analysis, metallography and materials inspection tasks where polarisation effects on reflected beams are exploited. The manufactured build and optical finish support consistent results in routine laboratory and quality-assurance environments. Practical benefits for laboratories and technical inspection Choosing a dedicated quarter-wave slider enables targeted enhancement of imaging contrast with minimal modification to existing equipment. Laboratories benefit from a compact, purpose-built optical element that fits into established polarising workflows, offering a clear technical upgrade without the need for extensive reconfiguration. For teams assessing surface features, stress patterns or anisotropic coatings, the component provides a reliable method to make those characteristics more visible under polarisation conditions.

A quarter-wave plate introduces a phase shift between orthogonal polarisation components; in reflected-light applications the IS.9612-R from Euromex alters polarisation states to enhance contrast and reveal birefringent or stress-related features on surfaces. Is this slider compatible with iScope polarisation models? Yes — the slider is designed for use with iScope polarisation models and fits common reflected-light filter housings used in those systems. Can the quarter-wave slider be used for transmitted-light polarisation? The IS.9612-R is specified for reflected-light illumination; for transmitted-light polarisation applications, check the system requirements and seek a retarder specified for transmitted-light use. How does the slider format benefit routine inspections? The slider format enables rapid insertion and removal with stable optical alignment, delivering repeatable positioning and reduced handling time during inspection processes.
