CatScope : CS-U9000F

Upright Biological Fluorescence Research Microscope

CS-U9000F

CS-U9000F, is a professional upright fluorescence biological microscope, designed for Epi-fluorescence and brightfield imaging with optional Phase-Contrast, Darkfield, and Polarizing imaging. It can accomodate Six Fluorescence filters and Seven objective lenses (septuple nosepiece). It has been ergonomically designed to present a safe, comfortable and stress-free observation experience for users. With robust structure, high-definition optical image and user-friendly operating system, CS-U9000F helps in professional analysis, and meets all the needs of microscopic research.

HEAD

Viewing head with multi-splitting ratio
CS-U9000F viewing head is designed with multiple options for splitting ratio, with wide beam imaging system and 26.5mm super wide field of view is available. Trinocular head with inverted image, splitting ratio Binocular:Trinocular = 100:0 or 20:80 or 0:100. Except for concentrating 100% light to eyepiece tube or camera tube, there is another option with 20% light to eyepiece tube and 80% to camera tube, so that eyepiece observation and image output can be available at the same time. Trinocular head with erect image, splitting ratio Binocular:Trinocular = 100:0 or 0:100.
High eye-point ultra wide field plan eyepieces
Breaking through 22mm conventional field of view, reaching to 25mm and 26.5mm, much smoother and wide field of view, is helpful to improve the work efficiency. Larger adjustable range of diopter from -8 to +5, meets more demands of different users.

NOSEPIECE & OBJECTIVES

Nosepiece
Quintuple / Sextuple / Septuple nosepiece for option with slot for DIC.
Professional Plan Fluorite objectives
PLAN-FLUOR series infinity plan semi-apochromatic / Apochromatic objectives, is the best choice for fluorescence observation. Adopting crystal optics materials, perfectly corrects all kinds of chromatic aberrations. Large numerical aperture design presents high resolution, high contrast micro-images. In fluorescence observation, the image is clear and bright while the background is pure black, prominent for ultraviolet fluorescence.

RACKLESS STAGE

Large stage with adjustment on either side In order to correct the shortcoming of horizon guide rail, new stage is designed with double-way linear driving mechanism. This change protects the stage from overload at the end of both rails, improves the rigidity and performance of the stage.
The handle of the stage can be set on either side, based on user’s preference. The X, Y biaxial adjustments are designed with low position for comfortable operation. Specially processed, the surface of the stage is anti-corrosive and anti-friction. The platform with an arc transition design reduces the stress concentration and damage from impact.

ILLUMINATION

Condenser
N.A. 0.9 swing-out type achromatic condenser, with iris diaphragm and aperture scale, provides sufficient and uniform light for full-field observation in different magnifications.
Light Source
Koehler Illumination System. 12V/100W external halogen lamp house provides transmitted light. Illuminator center is preset, hence no adjustment needed after replacing the lamp. Built-in 100-240V wide voltage transformer. Intensity adjustable by digital set and reset.
Built-in transmitted filters.
Neutral Density Filter – ND6. Neutral Density Filter – ND25. Interference Filter – LBD (Natural).

CS-U9000F

FLUOROSCOPE BOX

It uses a rotary filter-selector which can house up to six fluorescence filter-blocks; already included are ultraviolet, violet, blue, and green excitation blocks. High precision and stable rotary table and high-performance imported filter ensures a drift-free image.
There is a light shutter in front of the reflected illuminator. It is used to shut the fluorescent light to prevent fluorescence quenching of the slice.
The light barrier can protect users from the harm of UV light.
The use of ND attenuation filter, or aperture and field diaphragm rod can efficiently reduce the intensity of exciting light to protect the slice.

REFLECTED ILLUMINATION

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.
