These microscopes are suitable for routine microscopy and have an ergonomic design for comfortable long-term use. All main controls are located close to each other, which enable operation with minimal movements, reducing the fatigue of the user. B-380 Series incorporates all the experience gathered by OPTIKA Microscopes in the field of light microscopy, adapted specifically for routine laboratory applications, industrial and material analysis.

Purposely designed For intense use, effortless

Full of features that help being more comfortable especially in case of long-term use. All the main controls are located close to each other to enable minimal movements and reinforce the advantages that the ergonomy brings to this series.

B-380 Series Microscope Types:

1. BRIGHTFIELD: Transmitted brightfield illumination is one of the most commonly used observation method in optical microscopy, and is ideal for fixed, stained specimens or other types of samples having high natural absorption of visible light. B-380 Series is fitted with high-efficiency LED brightfield illuminator, for the best outcome when using this technique.
2. DARKFIELD: Dark Field illumination is a technique used to observe unstained samples causing them to appear brightly lit against a dark, almost purely black, background.
3. FLUORESCENCE: The fluorescence microscopy is the most demanding technique in biology and the biomedical sciences, as well as in materials science.
   This method is capable to study organic and inorganic samples thanks to primary fluorescence (auto-fluorescence) or secondary (staining and labelling with fluorochromes). Fluorescence illuminators available as mercury lamp (B-383FL) and also as LED (B-383LD1 and B-383LD2).

Features:

X-led3 Exclusive Lighting Source

Achieve bright images, improved colour fidelity, pure white colour temperature, incredibly low energy consumptions and longer lifespan with the unique X-LED 3 technology, able to double the light intensity for incomparable performance.

Relevant money and energy saving thanks to the incredibly low energy consumptions which allows you to cut the electricity bills by 90%

Large Specimen View (20 mm Field number)

Enjoy a 20 mm field of view ensures you to gain peripheral view and comfort when observing the specimen. This means more efficient inspections and allows a natural and easy view, particularly needed in a laboratory environment.

Incomparable Comfort With The Exclusive Automatic Light Control (Alc)

Automatic light intensity regulation. Seamless operation with instant brightness adjustment, automatically performed by the microscope for you. No matter if the aperture of the diaphragm changes, if another objective is used, and if the opacity of the sample is different…the microscope will set the light for you according to your preferences.

On B-382PL-ALC, B-382PLi-ALC, B-382PH-ALC & B-382PHi-ALC.

Condenser Suitable For Darkfield

OPTIKA B-380 phase contrast microscopes are equipped with a 5-position dedicated rotating condenser for brightfield (standard use), phase contrast (10x/20x, 40x and 100x phase diaphragms), and a darkfield position for dry objectives.

Safe And Convenient Operations

The rackless stage has been designed with a belt-driven mechanism that allows a smooth movement without any protruding part. This design gives you a more compact solution and lowers any risk of injury after accidentally hitting the rack with your hands.

Exclusive X-led3 Darkfield Condenser

The special condenser with integrated,exclusive X-LED3 illuminator replaces any other external and expensive lighting source required for these applications and is ideal for great looking, rich and high-quality specimen view.

In fluorescence we can offer several options

According to your application and to the fluorochromes you are using, we can identify the best solution. Apart from that, generally speaking, we can identify the benefits of the HBO and LED fluorescence as following:

1. Traditional, hbO Fluorescence

• The most used and diffused method, worldwide
• Ideal for reasearch purpose

2. Innovative, led Fluorescence

• Recommended for routine applications
• Cost-effective, money saving technology
• Eliminate warm-up/cool-down times
• Forget lamp replacement & centering
