Ergonomic Binocular Microscope IS.1158-PLPHi

Euromex iScope Microscope

iScope - A masterpiece of microscopy
The iScope is available in several configurations suitable for routine observations in Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, in colleges and universities
In addition to the brightfield observation method, iScope offers solutions for phase contrast, polarisation, darkfield up to 400x, darkfield with cardioid condenser (1000x) and epi-fluorescence observation. For teaching, iScope is also available in multi-head models

To order an iScope® with a tilting head, use the reference IS.1158-xxx. To order an iScope® with a tilting head and a phototube accessory, use the reference IS.1159-xxx

FRONT DUAL HEAD SYSTEM
• The iScope microscope can also be supplied with a front dual head system
• The 30 mm diameter tubes of the front dual head are fitted with EWF10x / 20 mm eyepieces
• The main binocular head has one dioptre adjustment, the second head has two dioptre adjustments
• Only available for the model with infinity corrected plan objectives (IS.1154-PLi)
• The front dual head system is fitted with a 2-colour laser pointer

MULTI-HEAD SYSTEM
• The iScope® microscope allows a multi-head system for 2, 3, 5 or 9 heads for simultaneous observation of the specimen • The central accessory is fitted with a joystick to move a green and red laser pointer across the entire field of view of all the heads
• Configurations with one, two, four and eight additional binocular viewing heads, tubes inclined at 30° and IOS 4x, 10x, S40x and S100x (oil immersion) infinity corrected plan objectives
• Each additional head is fitted with EWF 10x/22 mm eyepieces (Model references: IS.1156-PLi-n, n = total number of heads)

OBJECTIVE NOSEPIECE
Quintuple reverse nosepiece mounted on high-precision ball bearings

AVAILABLE STAGES
The iScope® can be fitted with three types of stage (designed for 2 slides):
• 156 x 138 mm mechanical stage with 79 x 52 mm X/Y travel
• 187/230 x 140 mm mechanical stage without rack on the X axis and with 79 x 52 mm X/Y travel. The iScope® stage without rack on the X axis has no protruding parts, allows smoother movements and is safer
• 220 x 157 mm ceramic mechanical stage with 75 x 50 mm X/Y travel. The surface of this stage guarantees high scratch resistance. The surface also ensures that stray light is not reflected from the stage towards the objective. The iScope microscope can be supplied with a heating stage up to 50°C with PID temperature controller. Only supplied with new units of the product. Please ask if you require other temperature ranges

CONDENSER WITH PHASE CONTRAST SLIDERS
There are two versions of the Abbe condenser N.A. 1.25 with phase contrast sliders and plan phase contrast objectives. The first version consists of 10x and S40x (retractable) plan phase contrast objectives, and a slider with 10x and 40x phase rings
The second version consists of 20x and S100x (retractable/oil immersion) plan phase contrast objectives, and a slider with 20x and 100x phase rings. Available for iScope 160mm and IOS infinity versions. All sets are supplied with a green filter and a telescopic phase centring eyepiece

BRIGHTFIELD CONDENSER
The standard Abbe condenser N.A. 1.25, height adjustable and with an iris diaphragm, has a slot that allows optional sliders to be fitted. We have a phase contrast slider with phase rings for 10x and 40x phase objectives, a phase contrast slider with phase rings for 20x and 100x phase objectives, and a darkfield slider (maximum 400x)

ZERNIKE CONDENSER FOR PHASE CONTRAST
A Zernike condenser N.A. 1.25 mounted on a rotating turret with 5 positions: phase ring for 10x/20x phase objectives, phase ring for 40x phase objective, phase ring for 100x phase objective, darkfield position (maximum 400x) and brightfield position. Includes telescopic phase centring eyepiece and green filter

DARKFIELD CONDENSER
The iScope model includes models supplied with an oil immersion cardioid mirror condenser, with internal 5 W NeoLED™ illumination and an S100x oil immersion objective with integrated iris diaphragm to obtain quality images using the darkfield technique at 1000x

FOCUSING
Coarse and fine focusing with 1 μm precision, 200 graduations per turn of the fine focus (0.2 mm). Total travel of approximately 24 mm. With a safety system to limit the stage height and protect the specimen and the high magnification objectives. With focus tension adjustment

ILLUMINATION
• By 3 W NeoLED with adjustable intensity and internal power supply 100-240 VAC
• The innovative NeoLED design offers higher numerical apertures, allowing the optical system of the iScope microscope to produce higher resolution images, very close to the theoretical diffraction limit of the optics. Other benefits of the NeoLED design are low power consumption, no heat generation and a long operating life
• Köhler illumination (included as standard on models with PLi infinity corrected optics and PLPHi phase contrast infinity corrected optics) offers high contrast and maximum power in the resolution of the optics. It is also available as an option for other models

ICARE SENSOR
This sensor prevents unnecessary loss of energy. The microscope illumination switches off automatically shortly after the user is no longer in front of the microscope

CABLE STORAGE SYSTEM - CSS • iScope® microscopes allow the user to store the power cable at the back of the stand
• At the back of the stand there is also a handle for convenient transport of the microscope

PACKAGING
• Supplied with power cable, dust cover, spare fuse, user manual, 5 ml bottle of immersion oil (on models that include an S100x objective)
• Phase contrast models are supplied with a green filter and a telescopic alignment eyepiece
• Polystyrene case
