Specifications

EYEPIECES
Extended EWF 10x/22 mm eyepieces, Ø 30 mm tubes. Eyepieces can be secured to the tubes. The trinocular head of the Plan infinity corrected models (PLi and PLFi) has a light path selector (100:0 / 50:50) and ± 5 diopter adjustments on both tubes.

The trinocular head of the E-Plan infinity corrected models (EPLi) has a fixed built-in light path beamsplitter (50:50) and ± 5 diopter adjustment on the left tube

HEAD
• Binocular and trinocular Siedentopf type heads with 30° inclined tubes. Interpupillary distance from 48 to 76 mm 
• A unique rotating system allows the ergonomical positioning of both tubes in a high (431 mm) and in a low position (397 mm)
• The trinocular head has a 23.2 mm photo tube. This fits all C-mount adapters supplied with Euromex cameras

To order an iScope® with tilting head use reference IS.3158-xxx (Epli/Pli/PLFi)
To order an iScope® with tilting trino head use reference IS.3159-xxx (EPLi/Pli/PLFi)

NOSEPIECE
Revolving quintuple reversed nosepiece on ball bearings

OBJECTIVES
The EPLi and PLi objectives are suitable for Blue and Green standard filter sets and other filter sets in the visible spectrum.> 
The plan Fluarex PLFi ™ objectives are suitable for the entire spectrum including Ultra Violet and Violet

All optics are anti-fungus treated and anti-reflection coated for maximum light throughput

STAGE
187/230 x 140 mm rackless stage equipped with double slide holder and integrated 79 x 52 mm mechanical stage. The iScope® rackless stage has no protruding parts, enabling more smooth movements and is safer

Optional: 220 x 157 mm ceramic stage with integrated 75 x 50 mm mechanical stage protects with a very tough ceramic surface, against marks and scratches. The surface also ensures stray light not to be reflected from the stage into the objective 

CONDENSER FOR BRIGHTFIELD
The standard height adjustable Abbe N.A. 1.25 condenser for brightfield with magnification indication. 
Also accepts sliders with phase annuli suitable for plan phase 10x/20x or S40x/ S100x oil immersion IOS objectives for economical phase contrast. A slider with a simple dark stop for darkfield up to 400x magnification is also available for this condensor

CONDENSER FOR ZERNIKE PHASE CONTRAST
An optional height adjustable Zernike NA. 1.25 phase contrast disc condenser with darkfield stop position for darkfield contrast observation up to 400x magnification and plan phase 10/20/S40x and S100x oil immersion PLPHi IOS objectives

FOCUSING
Coaxial coarse and fine adjustments, 200 graduations, 1 μm per graduation, 200 μm per rotation, total travel range is approximately 24 mm. Supplied with an adjustable rack stop to prevent damage to sample and objectives. The coarse adjustments are equipped with friction control

ILLUMINATION
3 W adjustable Köhler NeoLED diascopic illumination with internal 100-240 V power supply

The innovative NeoLED design offers larger apertures, allowing the optical system of the iScope microscope to produce images at higher resolutions, very close to the theoretical diffraction limit of the optics. Other benefits of the NeoLED is the low energy consumption, no heating and a long operating lifetime

The Köhler illumination on models with IOS plan and plan phase infinity corrected system provides high contrast and a maximum achievable resolving power of the optics. Also available for other models as an option 

ILLUMINATION FOR FLUORESCENCE

The 6-position rotating and 3-position slider fluorescence attachments are supplied with:
• a 100 W HBO mercury vapor light source for broad powerful light spectrum. Including an 100-240 V external power supply with indication of the life span of the HBO bulb

• Standard fluorescence filters sets for 
- blue excitation (EX460- 490 (BP) DM520 EM500 (LP) 
- green excitation (EX510-550 (BP) DM580 EM570 (LP) and a UV protection shield

The iScope® fluorescence microscopes equipped with a 100 W mercury vapor light source can be supplied with more specific, optimized and application related fluorescence filters sets (see next pages).

Two single position LED fluorescence attachments: 
- Blue: EX 460-495 DM 505 EM 510-560 LP filter set and a 3 W 465-475 nm LED for blue excitation
- Green:  EX 510-550 DM570 EM 590 LP filter set and a 3 W 520-530 nm LED light source for green excitation

Both LED versions are supplied with a 100-240 Vac/7.5 Vdc external power supply

ICARE SENSOR
The unique iCare Sensor is developed to avoid unnecessary loss of energy. The illumination of the microscope automatically switches off shortly after microscopists step away from their position

CSS - CABLE STORAGE SYSTEM
iScope allows users to easily insert the power cable into the back of the instrument, which enables easy storage. The integrated carrying grip at the back of the microscope ensures safe transportation of the microscope

CONFIGURATIONS
The iScope microscope is available in many configurations and can be upgraded with a variety of contrast types

PACKAGE CONTENT
