Using a new infinity corrected optical system called Icos, these microscopes come in various configurations to provide the user a broad choice to meet both their application and budget
MicroScience 2006 saw the launch of Meiji Techno's new family of upright light microscopes to the UK market.
For biological applications, there are three groups of microscope:.
MX 4000 - designed with the academic user in mind, these use new and improved Plan optics.
Meiji's ICOS technology makes the study of mounted specimens fast and easy while delivering an excellent cost-to performance ratio.
MX 5000 - defined as a laboratory grade microscope, like the MX 4000, it offers brightfield, darkfield and phase contrast modes.
It also has a new design Abbe 1.25NA condenser with a quick-change dovetail mount.
MX 6000 - offers more capability for the user requiring brightfield and epi-fluorescence with optional darkfield and phase contrast components making operation very affordable for colleges, universities, researchers and clinics.
Optional polarized light accessories are also available.
For metallurgical applications, there are two groups of microscope:.
MX 7000 - a brightfield incident light design for reflected light observation using new and improved optical components such as the Plan Epi infinity corrected objectives which provide exceptionally bright, crisp images with good colour rendition and superior flat field of view.
Options for brightfield/darkfield observation are available.
MX 8000 - designed to provide both brightfield observation in reflected and transmitted modes.
Care has been given to provide comfortable operation for the user through thoughtful ergonomic design of the focusing controls and range of viewing head designs.
There are also darkfield and polarized light options available.
Meiji's new family is completed with the MX 9000 polarizing microscopes which employ all new and improved strain-free S Planachromat optics.
Icos (infinity corrected optical system) makes the study of thin sections of minerals, polymers, composites and other mounted samples a straightforward task for the materials scientist.
