Optika B-510DK Trinocular darkfield microscope, 1000x IRIS, IOS W-PLAN PLAN
€2.258,00 excl. VAT
The Optika B-510DK is a trinocular darkfield microscope for live blood analysis and research-grade darkfield work. It combines a swing-out Abbe brightfield condenser with a built-in X-LED immersion darkfield condenser, N.A. 1.36, avoiding the need for external high power light sources. The W-PLAN 100x oil iris objective gives high resolution darkfield images alongside IOS W-PLAN brightfield objectives from 4x to 40x. Full Kohler illumination and a rackless stage support consistent handling. It suits laboratories that need both brightfield and immersion darkfield on a research-grade stand.
Trinocular Darkfield Microscope for Live Blood Analysis and Research
The Optika B-510DK combines brightfield and immersion darkfield observation on a research-grade trinocular stand. Its darkfield condenser has a built-in X-LED illuminator, N.A. 1.36, and the W-PLAN 100x oil iris objective gives high resolution darkfield images for live blood analysis.
- Built-in X-LED illuminator in the darkfield condenser, N.A. 1.36
- W-PLAN 100x oil iris objective for immersion darkfield work
- IOS W-PLAN 4x, 10x, 40x objectives for brightfield observation
- Full Kohler illumination for the brightfield light path
- Suited to live blood analysis and research-grade darkfield work
Optika B-510DK Trinocular Darkfield Microscope
The Optika B-510DK is a trinocular darkfield microscope from the B-510 research series, built for live blood analysis and research-grade darkfield observation.
A built-in X-LED darkfield condenser works alongside a swing-out Abbe brightfield condenser, so the microscope switches between techniques on the same stand.
Immersion Darkfield with Built-in X-LED
The darkfield condenser carries an integrated X-LED illuminator with N.A. 1.36, giving high resolution darkfield images without an external high power light source. It reaches the same result as 150 W external illuminators combined with a traditional cardioid darkfield condenser, and is dedicated especially to fresh blood testing.
Dual Condenser System
A swing-out Abbe condenser, N.A. 0.2/0.9, covers standard brightfield observation, so brightfield and darkfield are both available on the same stand.
W-PLAN 100x Iris Objective for Darkfield
The W-PLAN 100x oil objective includes an iris diaphragm, matched to darkfield oil immersion work alongside the IOS W-PLAN 4x, 10x, and 40x brightfield objectives.
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.
Ideal Applications
The B-510DK suits laboratories that need darkfield alongside brightfield observation.
- Live blood cell analysis
- Live specimen and microorganism observation
- Unstained sample darkfield screening
- Research applications needing high resolution darkfield images
- Combined brightfield and darkfield laboratory workflows
Choose the B-510DK when:
- You need immersion darkfield without an external light source
- You want brightfield and darkfield on the same research-grade stand
- You perform live blood analysis or unstained live sample work
- You need full Kohler illumination for the brightfield path
Optika Value Proposition
The Optika B-510DK combines a built-in X-LED darkfield condenser with a swing-out Abbe brightfield condenser on a trinocular stand, backed by Optika 10-year mechanical and optical warranty plus lifetime X-LED warranty.
