Product Overview:

Phase Contrast – 10x, 20x, 40x
100W Transmitted Illumination
100W HBO 100 Illumination
Platform stage with XY stage slider
Stage adapter plate – Glass Slides
Top photography port

Correction collar on 40x

Main Features:

Fixed Platform stage
XY movement slider mounted to stage
Mounting Frame on Stage is able to hold a large dish but is best suited for a standard glass slide 25x75mm
Six-place objective nosepiece
Eyepieces: E-Pl 10x/20 pair with diopters on both
Light path selector – Camera – Eyepieces. Two positions. 100 percent to eyepieces or split between eyepieces and photo port
Ability to shut out extraneous light from the eyepieces that may enter the camera optics
Voltage: The frame has a volt switch 115v/230v. The HBO power supply is autovolt

Photography System:

Photography port on top of head. It has a light path selector with ability to take 100% light to the eyepieces or 100% light to the top photo port.
Ability to shut out extraneous light from the eyepieces that may enter the camera optics.
C-mount attachment for camera is included.
DOES NOT INCLUDE CAMERA. Camera is shown in images to demonstrate that one can be connected

Phase Contrast:

Phase Magnifications:
10x (all common thickness).
20x LD (0 – 2 mm thickness).
40x LD (0 – 2 mm thickness adjustable via correction collar).
Phase contrast annuli were properly centered with the phase objectives. Excellent quality phase contrast microscopy was achieved.
We are including the needed tools for centering the phase annulus rings.
This unit also has the required lens for viewing the rings during alignment

Fluorescent Illumination:

Upgraded HBO 100 Lamp Housing and External Power Supply with included 100W Mercury Bulb.
Luminous Field Iris Diaphragm on epifluorescence light path.
Shutter for epifluorescence illumination.
IR heatshield (epi-illumination light path) is properly installed to protect internal optics.
Includes IR filter on the slider for additional protection, specifically to reduce photo bleaching on the fluorescent specimen.
Proper optical alignment was achieved in the epi illumination light path. These frames often have internal problems and are not able to achieve alignment, ultimately affecting imaging quality.

Fluorescence Dichroic Filters:

Filter Slider with three settings. FITC and two Open (for Brightfield and Phase Contrast).
The two open areas have the proper blocker disks inserted for eye protection.
Additional filter sets can easily be added in either or both of the open spaces.
The FITC (blue excitation) filter set looks in excellent condition with no visible wear.
Transmitted Illumination: Brightfield – Phase Contrast
Rotary Turret style light Condenser with phase contrast.
Long Working Distance Condenser – Numerical Aperature. 0.3 N.A. Excellent for larger specimen vessels.
Settings for: Ph1, Ph2 and Brightfield. With iris diaphragm. With centering ability.
Phase contrast annuli were properly centered with the phase objectives. Excellent quality phase contrast microscopy was achieved. This microscope includes everything needed to easily view and center the phase rings.
12V-100W Halogen with two spare bulbs.
IR heatshield (transmitted light path) is properly installed to protect internal optics.
Frosted diffuser filter is properly installed.
Transmitted illumination swing-out filter holders: empty for optional filters.

Objective Lenses:

10x. Achroplan 10x/0.25, ∞/-. Ph1. Phase contrast. This gave excellent images in brightfield and phase contrast but is not recommended for fluorescence.
20x. LD Achrostigmat 20x / 0.30, ∞/0-2mm. Ph1. Phase Contrast. This gave excellent images in brightfield and phase but is not recommended for fluorescence.
40x. LD Achroplan 40x / 0.60, Korr, ∞/0-2 mm. Correction collar. Ph2. Phase Contrast. This gave excellent images in brightfield and phase but it is not recommended to use for fluorescence.
40x. Olympus Plan N 40x / 0.65, ∞/0.17. FN22. UIS2. Spring. Made in Japan. This was tested and works fine for brightfield and fluorescence on this microscope. This objective is relatively new and in excellent condition. Although this is Olympus, and not Zeiss, this gave excellent images in brightfield and fluorescence so we are including it.

Comments:

This microscope is in great condition.
It also has all the tools included for proper assembly and disassembly.
Includes all needed power cords.

Optional Accessories:

We have a wide variety of optional scientific cameras, both monochrome and color, with and without Peltier cooling.
Other stage mounting plates are available for use with well plates, other sizes of petri dishes and cell culture vessels.
Other objectives can be configured.
We can install brand new Chroma hard coated filters (with lifetime warranty) instead of the used filters that are included. Cost is USD $450/ea for the dichroic filter set (emission filter, dichroic mirror, barrier filter).

Good Value:

When comparing prices, keep in mine the extras that we are providing.
We are including a one year warranty, money back guarantee, and free shipping that are value added additions not given by most resellers.
We have carefully refurbished this item and completely tested all functionality. Everything is working well and as designed.
