Binocular brightfield microscope with 1000x magnification, IOS N-PLAN objectives, LED Koehler illumination.
The IOS B-290 Binocular Brightfield Microscope delivers high-quality imaging suited for biomedical engineering, molecular diagnostics, and biotechnology laboratories. Featuring brightfield observation mode, it incorporates a binocular head with 360° rotation and 30° inclination for ergonomic viewing, supporting interpupillary distances from 48 to 75 mm with dioptric adjustments on both eyepieces.
Key optical components include wide-field WF10x/20 mm eyepieces secured by screws and a quadruple revolving nosepiece with ball-bearing rotation, enhancing durability and precision. The microscope is equipped with IOS N-PLAN objectives offering magnifications at 4x/0.10, 10x/0.25, 40x/0.65, and 100x/1.25 (Oil/Water), all treated with anti-fungus coating, making it ideal for live-cell imaging and tissue sample analysis within synthetic biology workflows and molecular cloning.
The double-layer rackless mechanical sliding stage measures 150x139 mm with an X-Y movement range of 75x33 mm, featuring vernier scales for precise sample positioning with 0.1 mm accuracy. Focusing utilizes a coaxial coarse and fine mechanism with adjustable tension and a limit stop, critical to preventing objective-specimen contact during sensitive bioprocessing experiments.
Illumination is provided by a fixed Koehler type X-LED3 white 3.6 W LED (6,300 K) with adjustable intensity control, powered by an external multi-plug 100-240 Vac/6 Vdc supply. The Abbe condenser (NA 1.25) with objective-coded iris diaphragm is focusable and centerable to optimize contrast, crucial in fluorescence analysis and clinical diagnostics.
This microscope is widely adopted in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and molecular biology research, offering precise optical performance tailored for advanced microscopy applications requiring oil immersion and high-resolution brightfield imaging.
Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.
We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.
We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
