ALC B-380 Binocular Brightfield Microscope with 1000x Magnification and IOS PLAN Objectives

The ALC B-380 is a high-performance binocular brightfield microscope designed for detailed optical analysis in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and biomedical research. Featuring a trinocular head with 50/50 light split and 30° inclination, it provides comfortable ergonomics and supports advanced imaging setups.

Key specifications include:

• Observation Mode: Brightfield with fixed Koehler-type illumination incorporating a 3.6 W white X-LED3 LED light source (6300K), essential for consistent fluorescence and brightfield imaging.
• Optical Components: Quintuple revolving nosepiece with IOS N-PLAN objectives (4x/0.10, 10x/0.25, 40x/0.65, 100x/1.25 oil/water), all featuring anti-fungal treatment to ensure durability in humid laboratory conditions. These high numerical aperture objectives deliver crisp resolution up to 1000x magnification, critical for live-cell imaging and detailed morphological studies.
• Eyepieces: Widefield (WF10x/20 mm) with high eye-point design for comfortable long duration observation, accommodating users with and without corrective lenses.
• Mechanical Stage: Double-layer, rackless design measuring 233×147 mm with 78×54 mm X-Y traverse, supporting precise specimen navigation and positioning critical for microscopy workflows like molecular cloning verification and histological biopsy analysis.
• Focusing System: Coaxial coarse and fine focusing with adjustable tension and a limit stop to prevent damage to specimens, enhancing reliability during delicate bioprocessing investigations.
• Condenser: Abbe condenser (NA 1.25) with objective-coded iris diaphragm, focusable and centerable, which allows optimal contrast and illumination uniformity—key in fluorescence analysis and quantitative cell imaging.

The ALC B-380 microscope is widely used in clinical diagnostics, synthetic biology research, and biomanufacturing environments, where precise optical performance and ergonomic design improve data accuracy and operator efficiency. Its LED illumination system supports long-term experimental workflows, including gene editing observation and stereological cell counting, facilitating essential workflows in modern biotechnology laboratories.
