The Optika Microscopes B-810 and B-1000 Research Microscopes are designed to meet the rigorous demands of laboratory equipment from Apex Scientific in South Africa. This innovative microscope combines ergonomics with exceptional stability, making it ideal for extensive laboratory use.
Durable Design
Featuring a completely new design with a die-cast aluminum stand, the B-810 Research Microscopes offer remarkable solidity and durability. Low-position focus and stage controls facilitate fast and comfortable operations. Frequently used controls, such as light intensity adjustment and diaphragm settings, are conveniently located on the lower part of the stand, allowing you to maintain focus on your specimen.
Multi-Head Teaching Microscope with LED Pointer for Collaborative Learning
B-1000 is also configurable as multi-head teaching discussion microscope, providing multiple observations up to 10 heads simultaneously.
A perfect instrument for teaching, offering the main head complete of an LED movable pointer (RGB) to simplify the work of the main observer when needs to highlight and show some specific aspects of the specimen.
Advanced X-LED³ Lighting Source
Experience superior imaging with the X-LED³ exclusive lighting source. This technology provides bright images with improved color fidelity and a pure white color temperature. Its energy efficiency is exceptional, resulting in up to 90% savings on electricity bills while doubling light intensity for unparalleled performance.
Ergonomic Adjustability
The B-810 Research Microscopes feature a tilting head that allows simple adjustments to suit your posture, accommodating various heights for prolonged comfort during observations. This design minimizes discomfort, making extended use more enjoyable.
Versatile Observation Methods
With a 5-position centrable rotating condenser, the B-810 Series supports multiple observation methods, including brightfield, phase contrast (10x/20x, 40x, and 100x phase diaphragms), and darkfield positions for dry objectives. This versatility ensures that the microscope adapts to your evolving research needs.
Modularity – Build your own solution
Many worlds in one instrument. Modularity allows you to build the desired solution (brightfield, darkfield, phase contrast, material science, fluorescence, motorized automation, and so on). B-1000 has the flexibility to help your work the best way.
Comfortable Stage
Refined belt-driven stage, with a wide working surface and a highly precise XY movement.
High Quality IOS Optical System
Infinity corrected optical system, based on planachromatic, fluorite and semi-apochromatic objectives, designed to give sharp and clear images, both for the user and the digital camera. Quintuple and sextuple nosepieces give the flexibility to build the objectives that best suit your needs. The system is completed with wide field, high-point eyepieces, with a field number of 24mm.
Ready for Digital Imaging
Range of adapters can accommodate C-mount digital cameras, as well as reflex cameras. Focus adjustment gives perfectly clear digital images. Our cameras include specific software for capturing, measuring, marking and storing your images. Pro View software allows image acquisition, post-processing, measurement, and storage of your images. Users can save a preset for later work or even create a multi-focus composition.
Remote-controlled Microscope
The stage can be remote-controlled through dedicated software: X, Y, Z axes, as well as the nosepiece, can be moved with a single click. Communication protocol is available for interfacing with custom software, such as automated analysis or autofocus.
Pathology / Cytology
Since B-810 / B-1000 use white LED illumination, they can maintain the same color temperature even if the brightness is changed. “AUTO” function automatically adjusts the light intensity when the objective is changed, or the aperture diaphragm is set to a different value. These features, along with motorized stage and ergonomic controls, make your workflow easier.
OPTIKA B-810 & B-1000 Research Microscopes – Power, Precision, and Ergonomic Design for Advanced Labs
The OPTIKA B-810 and B-1000 Research Microscopes are built for high-performance lab work, offering stability, comfort, and exceptional image clarity. Designed for demanding applications, their solid die-cast aluminum stands provide durability, while low-positioned focus and stage controls support efficient, ergonomic operation. Integrated X-LED³ illumination delivers bright, color-accurate images with low power consumption. Available from Apex Scientific in South Africa, these microscopes combine advanced optics with user-focused design—ideal for modern research environments.
Fluorescence Microscopy
A new attachment for epifluorescence provides the ultimate solution in the field of fluorescence diagnostics. Vibration-free six-position filter wheel with shutter, field and aperture diaphragms offer all you need for a complete analysis. Custom filter sets are available and mounted on request. For applications where efficiency, speed, and ease of use are crucial, this model also offers a LED epi-fluorescence attachment, with very high-power standard illuminators.
