Optika B-293PLi Trinocular brightfield microscope, 1000x, IOS PLAN
€843,00 excl. VAT
The Optika B-293PLi is a trinocular brightfield microscope with IOS infinity-corrected N-PLAN optics and a third photo port for a camera. It uses IOS N-PLAN objectives at 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x oil, giving 40x to 1000x total magnification through 10x eyepieces with a 20 mm field number. The infinity optical system keeps image quality stable even when polarizers or beamsplitters are added to the light path. The X-LED3 illumination source runs at 3.6 W and reaches a lifetime beyond 65,000 hours. The trinocular head has a 50/50 light split and an interpupillary range of 55 to 75 mm. It suits laboratories that need both infinity-corrected optics and image capture.
Trinocular Brightfield Microscope with Infinity-Corrected Optics and Camera Port
The Optika B-293PLi pairs a trinocular head with IOS N-PLAN infinity-corrected objectives, combining a camera port with room to add polarizers or beamsplitters to the light path without image deterioration.
- Suited to laboratories needing both documentation and future optical additions
- IOS N-PLAN objectives cover 40x to 1000x total magnification
- X-LED3 illumination rated for more than 65,000 hours
- Trinocular port with 50/50 light split for simultaneous viewing and imaging
- Infinity optical system prevents image deterioration with added components
Optika B-293PLi Trinocular Brightfield Microscope with Infinity-Corrected Optics
The Optika B-293PLi is a trinocular upright microscope built on the B-290 series brightfield platform, using an IOS infinity-corrected optical system and a third port for camera attachment.
The infinity design lets the laboratory add optical accessories such as polarizers or beamsplitters without image quality loss, while the trinocular port supports documentation.
IOS N-PLAN Optics
The B-293PLi uses IOS N-PLAN plan achromatic objectives at 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x oil, giving 40x to 1000x total magnification through 10x/20 eyepieces.
- Quadruple reversed nosepiece on ball bearings
- Anti-fungus treated optics
Trinocular Head with Camera Port
The trinocular Siedentopf head splits light 50/50 between the eyepieces and the photo port, with an interpupillary range of 55 to 75 mm.
- 30 degrees inclined, 360 degrees rotating
- Diopter adjustment on both tubes
Rackless Double-Layer Stage
The double-layer stage moves 75 x 33 mm on a belt-driven, rackless mechanism, with a vernier scale accurate to 0.1 mm on both axes.
- Anti-scratch painted surface
- Centerable Abbe condenser, N.A. 0.9/1.25
X-LED3 Illumination
Illumination comes from a 3.6 W X-LED3 source with manual brightness control and a fixed color temperature of 6,300 K, rated at more than 65,000 hours of lifetime.
- External power supply, 100-240 Vac input, multi-plug EU/UK/US
Ideal Applications
The B-293PLi suits laboratories that need documentation together with infinity-corrected optics.
- Routine biology and histology with documentation needs
- Laboratories planning to add polarizing sets
- General laboratory brightfield observation with camera capture
- Training environments needing stable, expandable optics
Choose the B-293PLi when:
- You need both a camera port and infinity-corrected optics
- You plan to add polarizers or beamsplitters later
- You want the same optics as the B-292PLi with trinocular output
- You do not need a digital camera and tablet built in
Optika Value Proposition
Optika has manufactured educational and laboratory microscopes for more than 45 years and sells through dealers in more than 150 countries. The B-293PLi carries the same X-LED3 illumination used across the Optika range, backed by a 10-year warranty on mechanical and optical parts and a lifetime warranty on the X-LED light source.
