AE2000 Inverted Phase Contrast LED Microscope

Summary

The Motic AE2000 is designed for routine laboratory or clinical work, as well as research requirements in Pharmaceutical Laboratories or Universities and delivers the sharp phase contrast performance these applications require. The proven CCIS Infinity Optical System includes two Plan Phase objectives (PH4x and PH10x) mounted in a side-facing quadruple nosepiece.

They combine with two N-WF10x eyepieces for magnification powers of 40x and 100x, and a configuration also including the Plan PH20X objective is optionally available below. In addition, uniquely integrated features include auto-power-cutoff and an optional ergonomic viewing tube. Standard 3 W LED illumination makes a versatile and highly capable observation platform.

Optics

The Siedentopf head is inclined at a comfortable 45° and offers interpupilliary adjustment from 48mm to 75mm and include dual diopter adjustment to minimize eye strain and fatigue. The standard high eye-point FN 20 N-WF10X eyepieces will accept optional plain or graduated cross hair reticles. The Plan PH4X and PH10X Achromatic objectives feature proprietary multi-layer coating for improved light transmission, yielding significantly brighter and sharper images. They are housed in a liquid-proof, side-facing, bearing-supported quadruple nosepiece. A configuration including the PH20X is optionally available below.

Stage & Focus

The plain stage measures 200mm x 239mm and includes a replaceable glass insert with 45mm opening, along with a metal insert with a contoured cutout to provide clearance for the objectives. A mechanical stage and a variety of specimen holders are optionally available. Coaxial coarse/fine focus controls include adjustable tension control and are ergonomically-positioned for comfort and ease of operation during use.

Condenser & Illumination

The N.A 0.30 condenser features an extra long working distance and three-ring phase slide set. For additional viewing flexibility the lower portion can be removed from its dovetail mount, increasing working distance to 184mm. A centering telescope and intensity-controllable 6V30W Halogen bulb combine to produce bright, evenly-illuminated images.

For heat-sensitive applications, the AE2000 can easily be field-converted to 3W LED by replacing the Halogen bulb with an optional LED module. For added safety the AE2000 also features power-smart technology which uses an IR motion sensor to enable "sleep mode" after 15 minutes of inactivity. Normal power is restored upon the users return.
