Optika B-382PLi-ALC ALC Binocular brightfield microscope, 1000x, IOS PLAN
€1.156,00 excl. VAT
The Optika B-382PLi-ALC is a binocular brightfield microscope with infinity-corrected IOS N-PLAN objectives, built for routine laboratory work. The objective set runs from 4x to 100x oil/water, all anti-fungus treated. Automatic Light Control pairs with the exclusive X-LED3 illumination to keep brightness stable when the objective or diaphragm changes. The rackless double layer stage gives a larger 233×147 mm footprint than the finite B-382PL-ALC for a wider working area. It suits laboratories that want infinity optics on a compact binocular stand.
Binocular Brightfield Microscope with Infinity Optics and Automatic Light Control
The Optika B-382PLi-ALC brings infinity-corrected IOS N-PLAN objectives to a binocular brightfield stand, for laboratories that want the IOS optical platform without a trinocular head. Automatic Light Control keeps brightness stable across objective changes, and the rackless double layer stage gives a wide 78×54 mm moving range.
- IOS infinity-corrected N-PLAN objectives from 4x to 100x oil/water
- Automatic Light Control keeps brightness stable when switching objectives
- Rackless double layer stage with 78×54 mm moving range
- Anti-fungus treated optics throughout the objective set
- Fits routine laboratory brightfield workflows
Optika B-382PLi-ALC Binocular Brightfield Microscope
The Optika B-382PLi-ALC is a binocular brightfield microscope from the B-380 series, equipped with infinity-corrected IOS N-PLAN objectives. It targets laboratories that want IOS optics on a compact binocular stand.
Automatic Light Control works with the exclusive X-LED3 illumination to keep brightness stable when the objective, diaphragm, or specimen changes.
IOS N-PLAN Infinity-Corrected Optics
The objective set covers 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x oil/water immersion, all infinity corrected and anti-fungus treated with a 45 mm parfocal distance.
Automatic Light Control for Consistent Brightness
Once a brightness level is set, the system keeps it automatically when the objective is switched, the diaphragm is adjusted, or a new specimen is loaded.
Rackless Double Layer Stage
The 233×147 mm double layer mechanical stage moves on a rackless, belt-driven mechanism with a 78×54 mm X-Y moving range and 0.1 mm vernier scale accuracy.
Coaxial Focusing with Limit Stop
Coarse and fine focusing share a coaxial control, with 25 mm coarse travel and 2 um fine resolution. An upper stop prevents contact between the objective and the specimen.
Ideal Applications
The B-382PLi-ALC suits laboratories that want infinity optics on a binocular brightfield stand.
- Biology and botany sample observation
- Routine laboratory brightfield screening
- Educational and university teaching labs
- General cell and tissue observation
- Upgrade path toward IOS-based accessories
Choose the B-382PLi-ALC when:
- You want infinity-corrected IOS optics on a binocular stand
- You need consistent brightness without repeated manual adjustment
- You want a wider stage moving range than the finite N-PLAN model
- You plan to add IOS-compatible accessories later
Optika Value Proposition
The Optika B-382PLi-ALC combines IOS N-PLAN optics, Automatic Light Control, and a rackless mechanical stage on a binocular stand, backed by Optika 10-year mechanical and optical warranty plus lifetime X-LED warranty.
