Biological Microscopes

Lamphouses according to your purpose

Two 100W mercury lamphouses (U-LH100HG and U-LH100HGAPO) are available, the latter with color correction extending to UV wavelengths. The U-LH75XEAPO is available for 75W xenon lamps, also with correction extending to the UV.

Bright, consistent illumination

Twice the brightness provided by conventional models can be obtained with the10X ~ 20X objectives, or 2-3 times the brightness when light is narrowed to F.N.12. This enables efficient observations at lower magnifications.

Double lamp housing adapter U-DULHA for exchange between two light sources

When two different light sources are attached at the same time, this adapter unit enables easy exchange between them according to the user's purpose. (Optical path: 100/0, 0/100, F.N.11)

Luminous mirror unit indicator for easy confirmation in dark room

Bright,easy-to-see self-illuminated labels are used to denote fluorescence filter sets, easily visible in a dark room. Three filter positions are displayed simultaneously making selection of the next filter easy and intuitive.

Convenient 6-position filter sliders U-RSL6/U-RSL6EM

Setting the excitation and emission filters on this sextuple filter slider enables synchronous and continuous exchange between positions. With ND filters attached, illumination can be adjusted in 6 steps.

Pinhole field stop module/BX-RFSPOT

This slider makes it possible to use the light source as a spotlight, illuminating tiny individual areas on the fluorescence specimen — an especially valuable feature in experimental work. The slider is attached to the BX-RFA fluorescence illuminator in the field stop position.

Rectangular field stop for digital imaging/U-RFSS

The rectangular field stop can be set to the exact size of the imaging sensor to avoid fading outside of the imaging area and damaging sensitive tissue.

High-rigidity reflected light illuminator

Two types of reflected light illuminator are provided: the multi-purpose BX-RFA, suitable for a wide range of different research projects, and the economical BX-URA2. Up to 6 mirror units can be attached in the cassette, which is especially useful when observing multi-stained specimens. A click weight adjustment function is provided for filter exchange, and a click release function that eliminates vibration.

Fluorescence excitation balancers / U-EXBABG, U-EXBAUB, U-EXBAUG

When observing double and triple stained specimens, both observation and digital photography can be conducted by arranging or altering the fluorescence brightness while freely changing the excitation light for each stained color. An excitation balancer is attached in the parallel light path, so there is no unevenness in the visual field.

Confocal laser scanning biological microscope/FV1000

The FluoView/FV1000 is a next-generation imaging system designed for high-resolution, confocal observation of both fixed and living cells. The FV1000 offers advances in confocal system performance while providing the speed and sensitivity required for live cell imaging with minimal risk of damage to living specimens. In addition, the FV1000 offers a revolutionary synchronized laser scanning system called the SIM Scanner. While one laser stimulates, the second laser simultaneously provides highresolution imaging. This coordination of laser stimulation and imaging makes the FV1000 an ideal choice for FRAP, FLIP and photoactivation.
