Optika B-510FL Trinocular HBO fluorescence microscope, 400x, IOS PLAN F, B&G filter set
€5.137,00 excl. VAT
The Optika B-510FL is a trinocular HBO fluorescence microscope built for research applications with fluorescence. It carries Semi-Apochromatic IOS W-PLAN F objectives from 4x to 40x, giving higher resolution and greater numerical apertures for enhanced contrast, including under UV filters. The 100 W HBO high pressure mercury lamp is centrable and ships with blue and green filter sets on a 4-position slider. Full Kohler illumination and a rackless double layer stage support sharp, repeatable observation. It suits research laboratories that need the widest fluorochrome compatibility, with a filter holder that accepts additional custom filter sets.
Trinocular HBO Fluorescence Microscope for Research-Grade Fluorochrome Detection
The Optika B-510FL is built for research applications with fluorescence, the most used and diffused method worldwide for this purpose. Semi-Apochromatic IOS W-PLAN F objectives give higher resolution and greater numerical apertures for enhanced contrast, and the 4-position filter slider supports additional custom filter sets beyond the blue and green sets included as standard.

Optika B-510FL Trinocular HBO Fluorescence Microscope
The Optika B-510FL is a trinocular HBO fluorescence microscope from the B-510 research series, built around the 100 W high pressure mercury lamp, the most used fluorescence method worldwide for research applications.
Semi-Apochromatic IOS W-PLAN F objectives pair with full Kohler illumination to give sharp, contrasted images, including when detecting fluorescence under UV filters.
Semi-Apochromatic IOS W-PLAN F Objectives
The objective set covers 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x, with superior resolution and greater numerical apertures for enhanced contrast, and performs well for fluorescence detection when using a UV filter.
HBO Mercury Lamp with 4-Position Filter Slider
The 100 W HBO high pressure mercury lamp is centrable with a 300 hour lifetime. Blue and green filter sets are included as standard on the 4-position slider, which also accepts additional custom filter sets such as V and UV, for fluorochromes including ANS, Fluorescamine, Catecholamine, AMCA, DAPI, Hoechst, and Indo-1.
Full Kohler Illumination and Swing-out Condenser
X-LED3 transmitted illumination with full Kohler adjustment works with a swing-out condenser, N.A. 0.2/0.9, delivering contrasted and sharp images across the brightfield light path.
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 a double vernier scale, right-handed for ergonomic positioning.
