Two new laboratory microscopes specifically designed for intensive use in biomedical laboratory applications use expanded pupil eyepiece for optimised operator efficiency
Vision Biomed, a division of Vision Engineering, has launched two new laboratory microscopes specifically designed for intensive use in biomedical laboratory applications.
Both microscopes use the unique Isis expanded pupil eyepiece for optimised operator efficiency.
The DX40 is a routine laboratory microscope and the DX60 is an inverted routine microscope.
Many laboratory microscope applications require prolonged, intensive use, viewing difficult subjects with very little contrast.
When using a conventional microscope, the operator's performance is limited by head freedom, body posture, the wearing of glasses and the effects of debris within the eye.
The Isis viewing system allows microscope users to work efficiently, fast and accurately by expanding the optical exit pupil and acceptance angle of microscopes.
This patented technique allows for dramatically reduced eyestrain and offers operators a unique degree of head position freedom, allowing for long term use without discomfort or a loss of efficiency.
The DX40 is a high magnification routine microscope, ideal for pathology, cytology and screening applications among other routine laboratory microscopy tasks.
In addition to the wide angle expanded pupil optical head, the design includes corrected planachromatic objective lenses, a high performance Köhler illuminator, filter set and a graduated mechanical stage.
The DX60 is an inverted high magnification microscope suitable for a wide range of applications including micromanipulation, examination and observation of cultures and specimens.
Also incorporating the wide angle expanded pupil optical head, the DX60 incorporates corrected planachromatic objective lenses, a phase contrast kit and integral high performance illuminator and filter set.
Both microscopes can be used with camera attachments, allowing for digital and 35mm SLR pictures to be captured.
The DX40 and DX60 are both available immediately.
These two new microscopes offer laboratory microscope users the very best in affordable, ergonomic microscopy.
When using an optical microscope for prolonged periods, the effects of eye fatigue and discomfort from bad posture can not only pose significant risks to the operators comfort but to the accuracy of their results.
Where a mistake or a mis-diagnosis could prove costly, the DX40 and DX60 offer a new level of routine laboratory microscope effectiveness.
