Optimized Optical Performance
The full Köhler system optimizes the optical path, producing high sample contrast and uniform bright light, which reduces image artifacts. Additionally, the exclusive X-LED3 lighting source guarantees that your specimens are illuminated evenly, all while consuming minimal energy and boasting an impressively long lifespan.
Teaching & Discussion Microscopes
Advanced routine laboratory microscope for brightfield observations with IOS W-PLAN objectives and rackless stage. Ideal for discussion groups and teaching purpose for multiple observers, up to five users simultaneously. A three-color LED pointer facilitates the indication and identification of the object observed. The high-efficiency X-LED3 makes it reliable for all transmitted light observations for great-looking, rich and high-quality view.
Multi-Head Observation
With the capability for multi-head observation, up to five colleagues can view the same image simultaneously on the B-510. This feature is particularly beneficial for teaching and training, especially in medical fields. The main observer and additional viewers enjoy extremely homogeneous lighting conditions, complemented by a three-color pointer with adjustable intensity to highlight key points of interest.
Brightfield Illumination
The B-510 Series excels in brightfield microscopy, one of the most widely used methods for observing fixed and stained specimens. It is equipped with a high-efficiency LED brightfield illuminator, ensuring optimal results when employing this technique.
Exceptional Optical Quality
The B-510 Series features trinocular heads with a 22mm field number and a true infinity optical system (IOS). The fully centerable condenser allows for precise light control, while the IOS W-PLAN objectives and planachromatic optics provide over 90% flat field quality and significant optical correction, minimizing distortion and curvature.
Ergonomic Design
This microscope represents a new frontier in ergonomic product design, featuring strategically positioned controls and durable mechanical parts, including a rackless moving stage. The maintenance-free illumination system enhances reliability, making it suitable for everyday use.
Portability and Comfort
Lightweight and easy to carry, the B-510 improves productivity and reduces fatigue, ensuring job accuracy and quality. Its comfortable handgrip makes transportation effortless.
