OPTIC900 Microscope: Precision & Flexibility for Routine Work

The OPTIC900 microscope is ideal for routine microscopy, with upgradable components to adapt to most laboratory needs

Key Features:

  •  Binocular/Trinocular Head: Compatible with microscope cameras and image-processing software.
  • Interchangeable Eyepieces: Multiple magnifications and field-of-view options, with adjustable diopter and interpupillary distance.
  • 360° Rotatable Head: Enhances ergonomics for multi-user environments.
  • Optical SystemAchromatic & Plan Achromatic objectives for edge-to-edge clarity.

Advanced Illumination:

  • Halogen or LED light sources (variable power) deliver brilliant sample illumination, sharp images, and minimal edge distortion.
  • Adjustable Intensity: Electronic dimmer, built-in iris, and Abbe condenser iris for precise control.
  • Easy Light-Source Replacement: Modular design for quick swaps.

Beyond Brightfield: Advanced Imaging Techniques

  • The OPTIC900 supports multiple contrast methods, making it ideal for complex samples:
    Darkfield Microscopy – Ideal for unstained specimens (e.g., bacteria, nanoparticles).
  • Polarized Light (POL) – Reveals crystalline structures in geology, polymers, and forensics.
  • Phase Contrast Upgrade (Optional) – Enhances live cell imaging without staining.

Why It Matters: Unlike basic lab microscopes, the OPTIC900 can evolve with your needs—no need to buy a new system.


Digital & Documentation-Ready

Trinocular Port – Seamlessly connect HD microscopy cameras (e.g., 4K, CMOS) for:

  • Live image sharing in classrooms/labs.
  • AI-based image analysis (cell counting, particle sizing).
  • Software Compatibility – Works with ImageJ, ZEN, or proprietary lab software.

Case Study“A university lab used the OPTIC900 + camera to automate pollen grain analysis, cutting processing time by 70%.”

Teaching & Multi-User Flexibility

  • 360° Rotatable Head – No more crowding; share the microscope effortlessly.
  • Optional 5-Head Teaching Config – Perfect for demonstrations & training.
  • Ergonomic Eyepieces – Adjustable diopter and interpupillary distance reduce eye strain.

Ideal For:

  • Medical schools (histology training).
  • Industrial QA (team-based defect analysis).

 

Future-Proof Upgrades

The OPTIC900’s modular design lets you add:

  • Fluorescence Attachments (for pathogen detection).
  • DIC (Differential Interference Contrast) for 3D-like imaging.
  • Motorized Stages for automated scanning.

 

The OPTIC900 isn’t just a microscope—it’s a long-term investment that scales with your scientific ambitions.

The OPTIC900 Microscope’s Versatile Capabilities

Your OPTIC900 microscope is more than just a tool—it’s a modular platform that adapts to diverse scientific needs. Let’s explore its expanded functionalities and how they elevate research, education, and industrial applications.

Why Upgrade?

  • Avoid obsolescence—adapt, don’t replace.
  • Cost-effective compared to buying new systems.
