Estimated delivery time: 5-7 weeks

The Optika M-1187 is the main body of the modular B-810 series, built around a die-cast frame with coaxial coarse and fine focusing and X-LED3 illumination. It forms the base for a configured microscope, since the head, nosepiece, objectives, stage, and condenser are chosen separately from the B-810 accessory range. Full Kohler illumination with a field diaphragm supports brightfield, phase contrast, darkfield, and simple polarization once the matching accessories are added. It suits laboratories that want to build a microscope configuration tailored to their own routine or research needs.

Modular Upright Main Body with X-LED3 Illumination for Configurable Microscopes

The Optika M-1187 is the base unit of the B-810 modular series, built for laboratories that want to configure a microscope around their own technique mix. Coaxial focusing, full Kohler illumination, and X-LED3 lighting form the foundation, while head, objectives, stage, and condenser are added from the B-810 accessory range.

  • Base unit for the modular B-810 series, sold with head, objectives, and stage separately
  • X-LED3 illumination, 3.6 W, with full Kohler illumination and field diaphragm
  • Coaxial coarse and fine focusing, 200 um per turn, with upper stop
  • Supports brightfield, phase contrast, darkfield, and simple polarization with matching accessories
  • Suited to laboratories that want a tailored microscope configuration

Optika M-1187 B-810 Modular Main Body

The Optika M-1187 is the main body of the B-810 modular series, a die-cast frame built for laboratories that configure their own microscope from separately sold components.

X-LED3 illumination and full Kohler illumination form the base, with head, nosepiece, objectives, stage, and condenser added according to the technique required.

X-LED3 Illumination with Full Kohler System

The X-LED3 light source runs at 3.6 W with manual brightness control, daylight white color temperature, and a lifetime over 65000 hours. Full Kohler illumination with a field diaphragm supports consistent, high contrast images.

Coaxial Focusing for Comfortable Operation

The coaxial coarse and fine focusing mechanism moves 200 um per turn on the fine control, with an upper stop to prevent contact between the objective and specimen and adjustable tension on the coarse knob.

Configurable Head, Nosepiece, and Objectives

The main body accepts trinocular heads with 50/50 or 100/0-50/50 split ratios, ergonomic binocular or trinocular heads, and quintuple or sextuple nosepieces for the IOS W-PLAN, W-PLAN PH, or W-PLAN F objective series.

Configurable Stage and Condenser

Rackless mechanical, MPC, or heating stages at 220×150 mm attach to the main body, alongside a range of condensers from N.A. 0.2/0.9 swing-out to N.A. 1.25 universal phase contrast and darkfield types.

Ideal Applications

The M-1187 suits laboratories building a custom B-810 configuration for their specific technique mix.

  • Routine laboratory brightfield and phase contrast work
  • Laboratories needing a modular, upgradable microscope platform
  • Facilities standardizing on a shared main body across configurations
  • Applications requiring darkfield or simple polarization as add-on techniques
  • Digital imaging setups built around a stable, sturdy main body

Choose the M-1187 when:

  • You want to configure your own microscope from the B-810 accessory range
  • You need a stable, die-cast main body with X-LED3 illumination
  • You plan to add phase contrast, darkfield, or polarization accessories later
  • You want full Kohler illumination as the base for your configuration

Optika Value Proposition

The Optika M-1187 gives laboratories a stable, modular main body with X-LED3 illumination and full Kohler illumination, backed by Optika 10-year mechanical and optical warranty plus lifetime X-LED warranty.
