IRIS B-380 Trinocular Darkfield Microscope with 1000x Magnification and PLAN Objectives

The IRIS B-380 Trinocular Darkfield Microscope is engineered for advanced microscopy applications in clinical diagnostics, biotechnology, and molecular biology research. Featuring a trinocular head with 50/50 light distribution, 30° inclination, and 360° rotation, it supports simultaneous imaging and digital documentation essential for bioprocessing and synthetic biology workflows. Key features include:

• Observation modes: Brightfield and oil immersion darkfield ideal for enhanced contrast in live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis
• Interpupillary distance: Adjustable from 48 to 75 mm for ergonomic use during extended microscopy sessions
• Eyepieces: Widefield (WF) 10x/20 mm with high eye-point design secured by screws for stable observation
• Objectives: Quintuple revolving nosepiece equipped with PLAN objectives—4x/0.10, 10x/0.25, 40x/0.65, and W-PLAN 100x/1.25 oil immersion with iris diaphragm—each with anti-fungus treatment to maintain optical clarity in humid lab environments
• Stage: Double-layer rackless mechanical stage, 150x139 mm with 75x33 mm X-Y range, facilitates precise specimen positioning vital for molecular diagnostics and biomanufacturing workflows
• Focusing mechanism: Coaxial coarse and fine focusing with adjustable tension and limit stop to prevent objective-specimen contact, ensuring sample integrity during high-resolution imaging
• Illumination system:
• Brightfield condenser: Abbe N.A. 1.25 with coded iris diaphragm, focusable and centerable for optimized Koehler illumination
• Darkfield condenser: Oil immersion N.A. 1.36 with integrated X-LED3 illumination for superior contrast in darkfield microscopy
• Transmitted illumination: Fixed Koehler-type X-LED3 white 3.6 W LED (6300K) with brightness control powered by multi-plug 100-240Vac/6Vdc external supply for stable and adjustable illumination intensity

This microscope is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and biomedical engineering, providing critical support for bioprocessing, gene editing, and essential molecular cloning workflows. Its combination of PLAN optics and advanced illumination supports detailed visualization, perfectly suited for fluorescence analysis and live-cell imaging in modern biotechnology laboratories.
