LIGHT AND COLOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The Achios-X Observer introduces Smart Light Control. This intelligent function memorizes the light intensity level for each objective. The color temperature of the NeoLED light source can be adjusted 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.
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:
- collect more oblique light from the NeoLED™ light source, which increases the light output significantly
- consume less energy for a higher level of light intensity
- produce images at higher resolutions due to the larger aperture of the NeoLED™
- achieve a longer life span, up to 50.000 hrs nominal, L70 norm
LONG WORKING DISTANCE CONDENSER
In height adjustable long working distance N.A. 0.65 condenser with numerical aperture identification marks.
POLARIZATION
The microscope comes with an analyzer and a polarizer, which can easily be inserted into the free slots of the Epi-Illuminator.
DIFFERENTIAL INTERFERENCE CONTRAST (DIC)*
The DIC-module shows differences in height of structures, which - ordinarily - cannot be displayed using only brightfield technique. These relief-like images are ideal for surface inspections of wafers, LCD screens etc.
- Optional
CSS – CABLE STORAGE SYSTEM
Allows users to easily stow away excess cable length onto 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, analyzer, polarizer, dust cover, a spare fuse, user manual and universal tool. All packed in a polystyrene box.
