X500 Custom Compound Microscopes

The X500 is an upright research and clinical microscope that blends precision, performance, and outstanding value. The scope is modular, offering a configuration for every application and budget.

The backbone of the scope is the NIS60 optical technology, incorporating the most advanced infinity optics. These optics are designed with custom coatings, high numerical apertures, and long working distances to provide unsurpassed imaging for all applications. Additionally, all lenses are parfocal and paracentric, allowing you to mix and match grades of lenses based on your specific needs.

The X500 has several advanced features that work in synergy to provide the best imaging available. Along with the NIS60 optical design, X500 offers an intense LED illumination system, tuned to 5600º to provide increased contrast in stained samples. Moreover, there is "Fly Eye" technology that provides the most homogenous illumination from edge to edge of the view, even at extremely low 1X and 2X magnifications. The 1 uM co-axial fine focus provides a crisp image at any magnification, and the selectable refocus stop reduces the work required from changing specimen slides and objective magnifications. The ceramic-coated, 2-slide XY stage provides a precision, vibration-free movement of the sample, even at high 100X magnification.

Modularity is at the forefront of this microscope. Users can select any of the components to be motorized to streamline and automate their workflow. One scope in any configuration can perform brightfield, phase, DIC, fluorescence, and confocal imaging in a manual or automated environment. Functionality can be added to the scope anytime, allowing you to upgrade the microscope as your needs change and grow.

The X500 can be used in any environment: Clinical lab, Pathology, Research, and material sciences. The price to performance makes this microscope an excellent choice for any application.

X120 Series Educational Compound Microscopes

The X120 offers a rugged, cast aluminum alloy frame and is compact, space-saving, and light weight, while being robust to stand the rigors of the classroom environment. Separate coarse and fine focus knobs and focus travel lock reduce slide breakage and improve student success when focusing at high magnifications.

The reverse-facing, 3-position ball bearing nosepiece protects the front elements of the lenses and ensures a vibration-free experience. The DIN standard objectives provide crisp images with true color reproduction.

An integrated cord wrap, carry handle, and rotatable viewing head make this microscope easy to set up and easy to store.

X360 Series Compound Microscopes

X360 clinical microscopes deliver exceptional optical performance, versatility, and durability for any laboratory, clinical, or teaching environment.

With an infinity optical design and plan achromat objectives, the X360 produces high resolution and contrast images and reproduction with full optical correction from edge to edge of the 22 mm Field of View. The LED illuminator, tuned to 5600º, provides a homogenous field of view and enriches the color and contrast in the images.

All configurations include a trinocular eyetube with a built in photo port to accommodate any camera and easy upgrading. In addition, the light is directed simultaneously to the eyepieces and camera port via the integrated dichotic mirror, eliminating the need to consistently move a slider to determine light distribution. The design also eliminates vibration for digital imaging, reducing the need for constant focus updating. The eyepieces are at a comfortable 30º inclination (eliminating fatigue) and can be rotated 180º to accommodate users of all heights. 

The stage features a double-layer, ceramic surface with user-adjustable XY controls for slide movement. Rackless design provides stability and durability. There is a 1 uM fine focus to ensure crisp images and a focus travel stop to prevent accidental damage to the objective lenses or sample. There is a carry handle on the back for easy transportation and an integrated cord hanger for storage.

The X360 offers a USB port on the back of the scope, allowing users to charge other devices while using the scope. It’s the only microscope in this class that offers a focusable field lens, allowing for Koehler illumination and helping to foster the best in class performance.
