Objectives  45 MM parfocal

The state-of-the-art production techniques and multi-layer coatings used for the manufacturing of the objectives enable the bScope® to be used for the most demanding applications. World class spherical aberration correction and modern CNC and assembly technology ensure the perfect centering of the objectives

• All S40x, S60x and S100x oil immersion objectives are spring loaded
• All optics are anti-fungus treated and anti-reflection coated for maximum light throughput

Condenser for Brightfield

• The standard in height adjustable Abbe N.A. 1.25 condenser for brightfield comes with an iris diaphragm

Focusing

• Double coaxial, low-positioned coarse and fine adjustments with 180 graduations. Precision 1.11¼m, 200¼m per rotation, total travel approximately 19mm. Supplied with an adjustable rack stop to prevent damage to sample and objectives. The coarse adjustment is equipped with friction control

Stage

• The bScope ® is equipped with a scratch-resistant 152/197 x 131mm stage with integrated 75 x 36mm
  X-Y rackless mechanical stage, Vernier scale, soft-close removable specimen holder
• The rackless stage has no protruding parts, enables smoother movements and is safer to use. Low-positioned X-Y control knobs prevent fatigue during long working sessionse

Polarization

• The bScope ® has an integrated slot above the nosepiece for an optional polarization filter

Illumination

• The microscopes of the bScope ® are equipped with a 3W NeoLED" adjustable illumination system for increased light output and a 100-240 VAC integrated power supply. Optional rechargeable batteries are also available
• 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

Cordless Use

• The optional rechargeable batteries turn the bScope® into a cordless system

CSS - Cable Storage 

• 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

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 cords, dust cover, a spare fuse, white filter, user manual and 5mL immersion oil
• Phase contrast models are supplied with green filter and alignment telescope

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 | Euromex microscopes 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
