The models with IOS system have mounted plan achromatic objectives corrected to infinity. Depending on the models, different sets of objectives are included in the package. MICROSCOPE STAND The modern stand design, with accessible and ergonomic controls, complements and enhances the instrument’s usability.

CONDENSER Included in the package is an Abbe type condenser with double numerical aperture 0,22/1,22 selectable by means of a dedicate knob. It can be centred through a double-control system and adjusted in height through a rack-and-pinion mechanism by means of control knobs located on both sides of the microscope stand. The condenser is also fitted with an iris diaphragm whose aperture can be adjusted through a ring nut with graduated reference scale. SPECIMENT STAGE This large-sized (175x145mm) stage is fitted with a graduated translation mechanism (double 0.1mm vernier) operated by a rack-and-pinion system with coaxial controls mounted in a comfortable position beneath the specimen stage. The object slide clamp accepts up to two specimens at the same time. The standard rectangular stage may be replaced by a rotating stage for polarized light (optional feature).
