BioBlue Series Compound Microscope, Binocular, SMP, 4/10/S40/S100x Objectives with Mechanical Stage

Clear and bright images at every magnification. The modern BioBlue compound microscopes are developed for educational purposes with a primary focus on ergonomics and todays quality standards. These microscopes are supplied with secure eyepieces and adjustable rack stop to prevent damage to sample and objectives.

The DIN WF 10x/18 eyepieces and the semi plan achromatic corrected 45mm DIN objectives of the BioBlue models generate a crisp high-resolution image. When changing magnification, the image remains perfectly in focus and centered. The 130 x 130mm stage with double layered 70 x 28mm X-Y mechanical stage enable a 2µm precision positioning of the specimen.

• Total travel approximately 23 mm
• Supplied with an adjustable rack stop to prevent damage to sample and objectives
• The coarse adjustment is equipped with friction control

Stage

• 130 x 130 mm with mechanical 70 x 28 mm X-Y translation stage

Condenser

• Height adjustable Abbe condenser N.A. 1.25 with iris diaphragm and filter holder

Illumination

• Binocular and trinocular models are supplied with an intensity adjustable 1 W NeoLED" illumination system for increased light output
• 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 three main benefits:
  • More oblique light from the LED light source 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 systems of the microscope to produce images at higher resolutions, very close to the theoretical diffraction limit of the optics
• All BioBlue microscopes are supplied with rechargeable AA batteries and integrated 100-250 VAC power supply for cordless operation

Anti-Theft Slot

• A Kensington Security Slot located at the back of the microscope can be used to help secure the instrument from theft

Package Content

• Supplied with power cord, three rechargeable AA batteries,dust cover, a spare fuse, white filter, user manual and 5 ml immersion oil for models with S100x objective 
• All packed in a polystyrene box

Anti-Fungus Treated

Fungus spores are parasitic, travel in the air and can settle inside lenses. High temperatures, humidity and environments that are dark and unventilated encourage fungus growth.
The optical components of all Globe | Euromexmicroscopes are anti-fungus treated. However, to further minimize the possibility of fungus growth, store the microscopes in well-ventilated rooms with moderate temperatures and low humidity.

About APL (Antimicrobial Protection Layer)

What is APL?

Using the same technology already used extensively throughout the healthcare environment in wall coatings, patient lighting, air pressure stabilization and suction liners, APL helps prevent the growth of unwanted microbes that can cause degradation, discoloration, staining or odors on the Globe | Euromex microscopes. Independent laboratory testing demonstrated a reduction of up to 99.99% in microbes after 24 hours.

How does it work?

1. The technology binds to the cell wall, helping disrupt growth 
2. The technology assists in interference with the enzyme production, stopping the cell producing energy
3. APL helps to interrupt the cells DNA, preventing replication

Why silver?

Silver is an element found naturally in the environment. Since ancient times silver has been highly regarded as a versatile antimicrobial tool which has health and environmental concerns. The additives we use are non-leaching and non-irritating.

Will APL wear off?

Once APL has been incorporated into a material it is essentially there to stay. Recent independent testing of a new paint range demonstrated no loss in antimicrobial performance even after 10 years of accelerated aging. Ionic silver based additives will not lose efficacy due to leaching or migration, and since they are evenly dispersed throughout the material even scratches and abrasion do not affect the antimicrobial performance.

Do cleaning products affect APL?

APL additives are embedded into the base material or coating and are therefore unaffected by abrasion or cleaning chemicals, such as chlorine bleach, disinfectants and alcohol. Even harsh industrial products, like MEK (methyl ethyl ketone), do not diminish the antimicrobial properties of products containing APL.

The antimicrobial technology does not protect the user or others against disease causing organisms. The technology is not a substitute for good hygiene/and or cleaning practices. " NA T MI CI R OBIA
