Product catalog summary
Overview of B-380 Series Microscopes
The B-380 Series by Optika Microscopes includes a variety of laboratory upright microscopes designed for applications such as brightfield, phase contrast, polarizing, and metallurgical microscopy. These are suitable for routine laboratory use, educational purposes, and industrial applications.
Key Features
  • Optical System: E-PLAN objectives with high numerical apertures and planachromatic optics provide high-quality, flat images with significant optical correction.
  • Illumination: The X-LED3 system offers twice the brightness of traditional systems, with energy savings of up to 90% and a lifespan of 50,000 hours.
  • Automatic Light Control (ALC): Automatically adjusts brightness when changing objectives or diaphragm aperture, enhancing user convenience.
  • Ergonomic Design: Designed for ease of use with minimal user fatigue, featuring a rackless moving stage and maintenance-free illumination system.
Observation Methods
  • Brightfield: Ideal for fixed, stained specimens with high natural absorption of visible light.
  • Phase Contrast: Enhances contrast in transparent, non-stainable samples, revealing cellular structures not visible in brightfield microscopy.
  • Darkfield: Used for observing unstained samples, making them appear brightly lit against a dark background.
  • Fluorescence: Suitable for studying organic and inorganic samples using primary or secondary fluorescence.
  • Polarization: Used to observe specimens with optical anisotropic features, applicable in geology and materials science.

  • Observation Modes: Microscopes support brightfield, darkfield, and fluorescence observations, with specific models offering blue and green fluorescence capabilities.
Procedures and Usage
  • Condenser: Abbe condensers with N.A. 1.25 are standard, featuring iris diaphragms that are focusable and centerable. Darkfield condensers with built-in X-LED3 are also mentioned.
  • Filter Sets: Fluorescence microscopes come with single or dual-position filter holders for blue and green excitation, suitable for visualizing various fluorochromes.
Models and Features
  • B-383Met: A metallographic microscope with PLAN MET objectives, suitable for opaque specimens without cover slips.
  • B-383LD1 and B-383LD2: Fluorescence microscopes with high-power LED illumination for blue and green fluorescence.
  • B-383DK: A darkfield microscope designed for fresh blood analysis, featuring a special condenser with integrated X-LED3.
Optical Performance
The document includes tables detailing the optical performance of various objectives, including total magnification and field of view for different eyepieces.
Accessories
A range of eyepieces and other accessories are available for the B-380 series, enhancing the versatility and functionality of the microscopes.

  • IOS PLAN MET Objectives: Specific to B-383MET, with magnifications from 4x to 50x.
Accessories and Additional Equipment
  • Lighting and Filters: Includes HBO100W mercury bulb for fluorescence, heating stage with digital controller, and various color filters (blue, green, yellow, frosted glass).
  • Adapters: Photo adapter for APS-C and Full Frame cameras, and C-Mount adapters for different sensor sizes (1/2”, 1/3”, 2/3”).
  • Miscellaneous: Micrometer slide for calibration, TNT dust cover, immersion oil, and a cleaning kit for precision lens cleaning.
Power and Charging
  • Solar Battery Pack: Features a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of 2600 mAh, providing over 6 hours of autonomy at medium intensity. Charging options include solar panel, USB power supply, or PC USB port.
