Model Overview: The OPTIKA B-150POL-BALC is an educational polarizing
microscope designed for routine applications. It features a binocular head with a rotatable stage and achromatic objectives of 4x, 10x, and 40x magnification.
Illumination: The microscope uses a white LED light source with a power of 1W and a color temperature of 6300K. The LED has an average lifetime of approximately 50,000 hours. Light intensity is controlled via a knob on the left side of the frame, and the microscope includes an Automatic Light Control (ALC) feature to maintain consistent light levels.
Observation Modes: The microscope supports brightfield and polarization observation modes. It includes a rotatable swing-out polarizer filter and a slide-out analyzer filter.
Focusing Mechanism: The microscope is equipped with a coaxial coarse and fine focusing mechanism, graduated at 0.002mm, with an upper stop to prevent contact between the objective and specimen. The tension of the coarse focusing knob is adjustable.
Stage and Nosepiece: It features a rotatable stage with a diameter of 120mm and a quadruple revolving nosepiece with ball bearings for smooth rotation.
Head and Eyepieces: The binocular observation head is inclined at 30° and rotatable 360°. It includes diopter adjustment on the left eyepiece and interpupillary adjustment ranging from 48-75 mm. The eyepieces are widefield WF10X/18 with a field number of 18mm.
Objectives: The microscope includes achromatic objectives with a mechanical tube length of 160 mm, treated with an anti-fungus treatment. The objectives are: 4X (A.N. 0.10, W.D. 18 mm), 10X (A.N. 0.25, W.D. 7 mm), and 40X (A.N. 0.65, W.D. 0.53 mm).
Condenser: It includes an Abbe condenser with N.A. 1.2, precentered.
Dimensions and Weight: The microscope measures 350 mm in height, 170 mm in width, and 210 mm in depth, with a weight of 4 kg.
Accessories: The microscope comes with an instruction manual and a dust cover.
Additional Information: The microscope is constructed with a dye-cast frame for high stability and ergonomics, suitable for transmitted light observation. For more information, visit the OPTIKA Microscopes website or contact them via email.
