HEAD

Viewing head
The Siedentopf head of CS-IB2000, 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 a centerable 6V/30W halogen lamp, a field lens with iris, and a centerable, height-adjustable 0.3 NA condenser with iris. The ability to center the lamp and condenser, along with the field and aperture diaphragms, allows for highly-efficient, optimized illumination for maximum resolution. The frame is rotatable and the condenser can be moved out of the optical path.

CS-IB2000

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.

CS-IB2000

PHASE CONTRAST

In addition to the bright field observation, Phase Contrast observation can be realized using a slide-in annulus-board provides two centerable phase-contrast annuli, as well as an open setting which can be used with colored filters for band-isolation or color-correction with LPLAN PH series long working distance infinity phase contrast objectives. These objectives enhance image contrast and resolution.
