OPTIKA IM-5 is a new inverted research microscope producing brilliant images for the examination of living cells, organisms and several other specimens in large flasks, combining brightfield, darkfield and phase contrast techniques for the most demanding users.This inverted research microscope drives to new horizons providing Köhler condenser, ergonomic handy controls and significant unique features, such as the highest F.O.V. available on an inverted microscope (F.N. 24 mm).  IM-5 is freely configurable in terms of objectives, by choosing among:
– IOS LWD W-PLAN (Plan-Achromatic LWD for brightfield, F.N. 22)
– IOS LWD W-PLAN PH (Plan-Achromatic LWD for phase contrast, F.N. 22)
– IOS LWD U-PLAN F (Semi-Apochromatic LWD for brightfield, F.N. 25)
– IOS LWD U-PLAN F PH (Semi-Apochromatic LWD for phase contrast, F.N. 25)

This model was created to meet all the needs related to research in life science and designed to be complemented by a series of packages dedicated to more advanced individual applications. For all intents and purposes, IM-7 is to be considered as an inverted imaging platform, due to its high expandability and state-of-the-art quality. The six-position nosepiece has a slot (in each of the six positions) for inserting DIC prisms. The filter turret can hold up to six fluorescence filterblocks. It is easily extractable, in order to facilitate the operation of inserting or replacing the filterblocks. The wide 3-layer mechanical stage comes with several interchangeable plates for the use of Petri dishes, flasks and slides. The movement of the stage is controlled by a long tilting handle equipped with a pair of knobs for X/Y axes. The universal condenser is a 6-position type, designed for brightfield, phase contrast and DIC.

The polarized light microscope is designed to observe specimens that are visible primarily due to their optical anisotropic or birefringent features. Polarized light microscopy is perhaps best known for its applications in the geological sciences, which focusses primarily on the study of minerals in rock thin sections. However, a wide variety of other materials can be examined in polarized light, including both natural and industrial minerals, concrete, ceramics, mineral fibers, polymers, starch, wood, urea. The technique can be used both qualitatively and quantitatively with success, and is an outstanding tool for the materials sciences, geology, chemistry, biology, metallurgy, and even diagnostic (gout analysis). Polychromatic light being viewed at the analyser, one specific wavelength will have been removed. This information can be used in a number of ways:
– If the birefringence is known, then the thickness, t, of the sample can be determined
– If the thickness is known, then the birefringence of the sample can be determined
As the order of the optical path difference increases, then it is more likely that more wavelengths of light will be removed from the spectrum. This results in the appearance of the colour being “washed out”, and it becomes more difficult to determine the properties of the sample. This, however, only occurs when the sample is relatively thick when compared to the wavelength of light.

A fluorescence microscope is an optical microscope that uses fluorescence and phosphorescence instead of, or in addition to, reflection and absorption to study properties of organic or inorganic substances. The “fluorescence microscope” refers to any microscope that uses fluorescence to generate an image. The Epi Fluorescence microscope is equipped with a fluorescence illuminator wich generates incident fluorescence light.
Typical components of a fluorescence microscope are a light source (HBO mercury-vapor lamps are common; more advanced forms are high-power LEDs), the excitation filter, the dichroic mirror, and the emission filter. The filters and the dichroic mirror are chosen to match the spectral excitation and emission characteristics of the fluorophore used to label the specimen. In this manner, the distribution of a single fluorophore (color) is imaged at a time. Multi-color images of several types of fluorophores must be composed by combining several single-color images. Most fluorescence microscopes in use are epifluorescence microscopes, where excitation of the fluorophore and detection of the fluorescence are done through the same light path (through the objective). These microscopes are widely used in biology and are the basis for more advanced microscope designs

The SZR-180 is the top-of-the-range stereo zoom microscope dedicated to the world of research.
With a wide magnification range and high optical resolution combined with effective ergonomics, the SZR-180 is the perfect companion in advanced research. The SZR-180 with its 18:1 zoom ratio puts it at the top of its class. The wide range of magnifications available (7.5x-135x), coupled with a precise click-stop mechanism for working with reproducible zoom settings, makes it ideal for both low-magnification observation and high-magnification screening and observation of small cell structures. The Plan APO 1x apochromatic main objective provides high-resolution images at both low and high magnifications, making it ideal for observing and capturing images of the smallest details free of aberrations and halos. Combined with the zoom and the generous 23mm field number eyepieces, this provides a large FOV even at high magnifications (1.7mm).
