CMO microscope series equipped with ergonomic and non-ergonomic binocular heads, field 24 and a working distance of 80mm. The series also includes an epi-fluoscence attachment for biology, botany, electronics, materials and forensic analysis, equipped with a 100W mercury lamp.
The series is completed by the bases equipped with LED lighting with transmitted light and incident with adjustment of the light intensity. The Greenough design, introduced in the early twentieth century, consists of two identical, symmetrical optical systems each containing a separate eyepiece and objective, arranged in careful alignment with a single housing. The two optical paths are arranged at a precise angle, due to which they converge to the point that determines the working distance and thus the focal length. This design allows high numerical apertures because the objectives are very similar to those used in compound microscopes. The lower section of the microscope contains the objectives, while the upper end of the body tubes projects an image to the eyes. CMO (Common Main Objective) stereo microscopes have the ability to collect more light than the Greenough design and feature greater optical aberration correction.

Most of the time, it is of fundamental importance to combine a stereomicroscope with the right accessories, including illuminators. Sometimes and in some specific fields, the light has to be directed in a certain direction to achieve the best working conditions possible; therefore external illuminators are recommended to match every requirement. CL-16.1 consists in a professional lighting system of 144 LEDs (2W total power) for enhanced light uniformity and brightness. The ring light illumination is divided into 4 different zones, individually adjustable for selectable light zones. The separated, external control panel prevents interferences during use, whilst the sturdy metal structure makes it more durable and resistant. A wide range of flexible arm illuminators provides flexibility and speed in getting the best clarity out of your sample. The extremely efficent 14W LED system brings external illuminators to a step forward. The 1.000 lumen optical power source unit has to be combined with an arm guide to drive the light properly to the specimen. Multifunctional, sturdy, extremely stable and with brightness adjustment.

Gemological stereomicroscopes are meant to help with stone inspection. Jewels and gems have a variety of grades (or quality levels), which ultimately influence their value and cost on the market; therefore it is important to have solutions that are purposely designed for gemology. These stereomicroscopes are equipped with iris and darkfield condenser on the bottom light source, and with a set of on stage tweezers to hold the stone in place.

Optikas two-in-one gemology instruments can be used both in vertical and horizontal position in a very easy way, just by turning one knob (no disassembling and re-assembling operations are required). The horizontal position extends the use of a gemological microscope, giving the possibility to perform immersion analysis by submerging a sample in liquid. If the stone’s refractive index is close to the liquid’s one, immersion makes the interior more visible by reducing the effects of refraction and surface reflection. This enables you to see a gem’s inclusions or color distribution more easily.

Metallography is the study of the physical structure and components of metals, by using microscopy. Many different microscopy techniques are used in metallographic analysis. Light optical microscopy (LOM) examination should always be performed prior to any electron metallographic (EM) technique, as these are more time-consuming to perform and the instruments are much more expensive.
Further, certain features can be best observed with the LOM, e.g., the natural color of a constituent can be seen with the LOM but not with EM systems. Also, image contrast of  icrostructures at relatively low magnifications, e.g., <500X, is far better with the LOM than with the scanning electron microscope (SEM), while transmission electron microscopes (TEM) generally cannot be utilized at magnifications below about 2000 to 3000X. LOM examination is fast and can cover a large area. Thus, the analysis can determine if the more expensive, more time-consuming examination techniques using the SEM or the TEM are required and where on the specimen the work should be concentrated.

OPTIKA IS series are compact, all-in-one video microscopes with integrated HDMI camera and built-in software. Ideal inspection video microscopes for achieving multiple levels of magnification. It’s recommended when repeatability is required thanks to the click-stop mechanism at different magnifications steps. With 60 frames per second at full resolution and 1080 HD image quality, you can see, on a plugged HDMI monitor, the same as what you see through the microscope eye. Other models are avaialble with different configurations to examine multilayere objects etc.
