Research Microscope Series Overview
The A14.1098 represents the motorized model in our research inverted microscope series, upgraded from previous manual and coded models to provide comprehensive functionality for advanced life science research applications.
System Condenser
Supports brightfield observation, phase contrast observation, and DIC observation for maximum experimental flexibility.
Ergonomic Design
Transmitted illumination column ensures larger working space and convenient sample changing.
N-iPLFN PH Objectives
Semi-apochromatic objectives feature built-in correction rings to compensate for nonstandard cover glass thickness variations.
Multi-port Optical Path
Optical output selection dial distributes images to different ports for expanded optical applications.
Intermediate Magnification
Quick switching between 1x and 1.5x intermediate magnification via smooth turntable operation.
Status Display
Front panel touch screen shows microscope status for convenient use in darkroom conditions.
Electric Control System
Comprehensive motorized control system enables software operation of objective lens conversion, focusing, condenser conversion, and fluorescent module conversion. High-speed electric control simplifies complex operations while reducing cell exposure time and phototoxicity for more accurate experimental results.
Motorized Stage
Large stroke, high precision positioning suitable for multi-point observation applications.
Motorized Condenser
Electric conversion of condenser modules for automated operation.
Z-axis Autofocus
Fast and accurate Z-axis control with high precision positioning.
Motorized Nosepiece
Arbitrary conversion of six objective lenses with DIC capability.
Filter Cube Turret
Random conversion of 6-hole fluorescent modules for flexible imaging.
Joystick Control
Flexible positioning of electric stage with integrated control.
Front Operation Screen
The A14.1098 features a comprehensive front operation screen that consolidates all microscope controls including electric focusing, stage movement, objective lens selection, condenser module conversion, intermediate magnification conversion, side port output selection, aperture stop adjustment, and multi-function turntable conversion.
Fluorescent Imaging Capabilities
Clear observation results obtained using various fluorescent dyes with optimized excitation modules and filter systems.
Fluorescent Excitation Module
Multi-functional six-station turret structure allows easy removal from main machine and convenient replacement of various fluorescent excitation modules.
Diaphragm System
Reflective field diaphragm, aperture diaphragm and filter insert plate provide versatile imaging capabilities for living cell studies. Optimal fluorescence intensity adjustment based on selected fluorescent module and objective lens.
