The iScope® darkfield is available in three configurations suitable for Life and Biomedical Sciences, high schools, universities where a cardioid mirror based darkfield is required.

For biological and medical applications fluorescence microscopes are used to observe certain parts of living cells and tissues with help of fluorophores. One or more fluorophores are added to the parts of the specimen to be observed. When the fluorophores are exposed to so-called excitation light, the excitation energy is absorbed by the fluorophore that start emitting so-called emission light that can be observed by the microscope. One can distinguish tumour cells from other cells, follow biological processes or prove the presence or absence of antibodies, etc.

The excellent optics and mechanical components make the iScope a state-of-the art microscope that is suitable for fluorescence applications in Life Science and Biotechnical fields.

ILLUMINATION

3 W adjustable NeoLED diascopic illumination with internal 100-240 V power supply for brightfield and phase contrast models.

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 option.
