ALC B-380 Binocular Brightfield Microscope with 1000x PLAN Objectives and LED Koehler Illumination

The ALC B-380 is a binocular brightfield microscope designed for advanced laboratory imaging, providing up to 1000x magnification with a set of PLAN objectives including 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x oil/water immersion lenses. The binocular head is inclined at 30°, with a 360° rotation feature when unplugged, and supports interpupillary distance adjustment from 48 to 75 mm with dioptric correction on the left eyepiece.

Key technical features include:

• High-eyepoint WF10x/20 mm eyepieces secured by screws for stable observation.
• Quintuple revolving nosepiece on ball bearings for smooth objective switching.
• Double-layer rackless mechanical stage with 150x139 mm size and 75x33 mm X-Y range for precise specimen positioning in cell imaging and biotechnology workflows.
• Coaxial coarse and fine focusing with adjustable tension and a limit stop to protect objectives and specimens during focusing.
• The Abbe condenser with N.A. 1.25 features a focusable and centerable iris diaphragm, coded to objectives for optimized illumination.

Illumination is provided by a Fixed Koehler X-LED3 system with a 3.6 W white LED (6300K) and brightness control, powered by a 100-240 Vac/6 Vdc external supply. The system includes an ALC function that enhances image clarity and contrast essential for molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology research.

This microscope is well-suited for biotechnology research domains such as molecular diagnostics, live-cell imaging, and bioprocessing, offering reliable performance for detailed brightfield observations critical in gene editing and biomanufacturing pipelines.
