CatScope : CS-IB2500F

Inverted Biological Reasearch Microscope

CS-IB2500F

CatScope CS-IB2500F, is a new generation of professional inverted trinocular microscope, designed for LED fluorescence, bright-field and phase-contrast, with a Kohler illumination system and optional mechanical stage. It offers crisp, sharp images, and advanced features. This model comes with color-corrected infinity optical system (CSIS), a movable large-working-distance condenser, 45 degree inclined trinocular head, high eye-point Plan eyepieces, long-working-distance Plan achromatic / Semi-Apochromatic objectives for fluorescence, bright-field and phase-contrast observations.

HEAD

Viewing head
The Siedentopf head of CS-IB2500F, 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

Koehler illumination system with 5W LED Lamp. Adjustable condenser is with field & aperture diaphragm and with working distance of 72mm. Rotatable bracket allows the condenser to move out of the optical path.

NOSEPIECE & OBJECTIVES

The infinity-corrected optical-system includes a five-lens (quintuple) turret nosepiece with a combination of LPLAN Fluorescence, 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.

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.

CS-IB2500F

ECO ILLUMINATION

With ECO infrared function, microscope will be auto shutdown when the user leaves for a certain time, also can auto restart when the user returns.

CS-IB2500F

FLUORESCENCE ATTACHMENT

This microscope has an option of a 3 position fluorescence slider which will allow for two fluorescence filters and one brightfield position or a 4 position slider which will allow for three fluorescence filters and one brightfield position.
It uses a Slider filter-selector which can house up to two or three fluorescence filter-blocks; already included are Blue and Green excitation blocks. High precision, stable Slider and high-performance filter ensures a drift-free image.
The filter block includes excitation, dichroich, emitter modules.
The light barrier can protect users from the harm of UV light.
LED fluorescence lamp house is with three kinds of LED illumination (385nm, 470nm, 560nm).
