CS-IB1000F
CatScope CS-IB1000F is an Inverted Biological Fluorescent Microscope with infinity color corrected optical system and extraordinary sturdy and durable ergonomic design, which presents a sharp and bright micro-image. Excellent high resolution fluorescent objectives are optional to generate high quality fluorescent images.
HEAD
Viewing head
The Siedentopf head of CS-IB1000F, features compensation-free interpupillary-adjustment, as well as dioptric adjustment. The trinocular photo-port provides a stable platform for mounting an imaging-system without the need to remove an eyepiece. The photo-port works concurrently with both eyepieces, so there is no interruption to binocular viewing.
Ultra wide field plan eyepieces
The new-designed high eye-point extreme-wide-field eyepieces include 10X with plan field-correction, has a full bright field without chromatic circle. 22mm field of view makes it convenient and comfortable viewing.
TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
The Koehler illumination system consists of 6V/30W halogen lamp, a field lens with iris, and a 0.3 NA condenser with iris. The overhead illuminator can utilize color filters (3 included), and a phase-contrast annulus board for use with the 10X and 20X phase-contrast objective lenses. Intensity is controlled by an easy-to-reach, front-mounted dial.
NOSEPIECE & OBJECTIVES
The infinity-corrected optical-system includes a five-lens (quintuple) turret nosepiece with a combination of LPLAN bright-field, and phase-contrast long-working-distance objective-lenses with plan field-correction and achromatic color-correction, designed for living—cells culture in laboratory, provides clear image with excellent contrast and also performs well under fluorescence observation.
STAGE
The standard configuration is supplied with a fixed plain stage. The stage can be widened on both sides to accommodate large specimens with the optional paired auxiliary stage plates. A hard coating protects the stage from scratches and wear & tear.
Attachable Mechanical Stage
Moving range: 120x78mm.
It can clamp all types of standard cell culture plates. With the help of related accessories (holders), it can be used to move the dish, flask, slide and so on.
FLOURESCENCE ATTACHMENT
The filters are installed on a filter slider with 3 spots, two for fluorescence excitation filters and the third one is empty, for brightfield or phase-contrast. By default it has Blue and Green filters (for GFP and RFP/Texas Red) installed. If you need the third filter such as Dapi/Hoechst, you need to get a new filter slider and filter.
The mercury lamp house has a powerful 100W, wide-spectrum, mercury-vapor episcopic illuminator. It is also equipped with centering knobs, which helps users in adjusting the filament center to make sure that there is sufficient and uniform fluorescent illumination.
