SMART LIGHT CONTROL

The Achios-X Observer introduces Smart Light Control. This intelligent function memorizes the last used light intensity level for each objective. The color temperature of the NeoLED light source can be adjusted between 3200 and 6700K and stored. This innovation not only heightens comfort but also saves valuable time during routine magnification shifts. The eco-friendly NeoLED light source is both environmentally conscious and built to endure.

ILLUMINATION

The Köhler illumination of the Achios-X Observer provides the most uniformly illuminated and bright field of view.

ILLUMINATION FOR FLUORESCENCE

The fluorescence attachment of the Achios-X Observer™ is equipped with a 4-positions rotating mechanism that can be used to select between any of the 3 filter sets and brightfield (transmitted light). It is supplied with 3 dedicated LED sources to match the supplied fluorescence long pass filter sets for B, G and UV excitation.

Supplied with UV shield and standard fluorescence filters sets for:

AX.9745 Blue excitation @ 485 nm with long pass filter set (EX 460-495 DM 505 EM 510 LP)

AX.9746 Green excitation @ 525 nm with long pass filter set (EX 510-550 DM 570 EM 575 LP)

AX.9748 UV excitation @ 365 nm with long pass filter set (EX 330-385 DM 410 EM 420 LP)

Power for fluorescence attachment is supplied by the microscope; no external power supply is required. Other more specific band pass optimized fluorescence filter sets are also available.

OPTIONAL FLUORESCENCE FILTER SETS

AX.9750.FITC FITC standard band pass filter set (EX 460-495 DM 505 EM 510-550).

AX.9750.39002 FITC optimized band pass filter set (EX 465-495 DM505 EM 515-555).

AX.9750.49000 FITC zero-shift optimized band pass filter set (EX 450-490 DM495 EM 500-550).

AX.9750.39000 DAPI band pass filter set (EX 361-389 DM 415 EM435-485).

AX.9750.49000 DAPI band pass filter set (EX 325-375 DM 400 EM435-485).

NeoLED

The innovative NeoLED™ design is a combination of a custom LED and a specially designed thin lens with a short focal length in order to obtain four main benefits:

• More oblique light from the NeoLED™ can be captured, which increases the light output significantly
• Less energy is required to achieve this level of light intensity
• The larger aperture of NeoLED™ allows the optical system of the microscope to produce images at higher resolutions, very close to the theoretical diffraction limit of the optics
• Super long life span, up to 50.000 hrs nominal, L70 norm

CSS – CABLE STORAGE SYSTEM

Allows users to easily stow away excess cable length into the back of the instrument during operation and to roll up the power cable for easy storage.

CARRYING GRIP

The integrated carrying grip at the back of the microscope ensures safe transportation of the microscope.

PACKAGING

Supplied with power cord, orange protection shield, dust cover, screwdriver, user manual and 5 ml immersion oil for models supplied with a 100x objective.
