IOS B-510 Trinocular Metallurgical Microscope with 500x Magnification and Incident Light

The IOS B-510 Trinocular Metallurgical Microscope is engineered for precise material surface analysis and metallurgical inspection, widely used in biotechnology, material science, and clinical diagnostics requiring reflective surface imaging. It features a trinocular head with 30° inclination and 360° rotation, supporting simultaneous imaging and camera integration for documentation and analysis workflows critical in molecular diagnostics and biomanufacturing environments.

Key technical specifications:

• Observation modes: Brightfield, simple polarized light, and oblique illumination on incident light to reveal detailed surface morphology.
• Epi-illumination system: X-LED8 white 8 W LED (6,300 K) with adjustable brightness, incorporating aperture and field diaphragms, polarizer, and analyzer—essential for applications in synthetic biology and gene editing requiring high-contrast fluorescence or reflective imaging.
• Optics: Quintuple revolving nosepiece with IOS W-PLAN MET strain-free objectives (5x/0.12, 10x/0.25, 20x/0.40, 50x/0.75) each treated with anti-fungus coating to maintain optical integrity in humid lab environments.
• Eyepieces: High eye-point WF10x/22 mm with rubber cups for ergonomic observation and dioptric adjustment on the left eyepiece to accommodate individual user requirements.
• Mechanical stage: Double-layer rackless mechanism measuring 233x147 mm with a precise X-Y travel range of 78x54 mm, facilitating accurate specimen positioning critical in detailed microstructural analysis.
• Focusing: Coaxial coarse and fine focusing with adjustable tension and a limit stop to prevent objective-specimen contact, ensuring sample safety during high-magnification imaging.
• Interpupillary distance: Adjustable from 50 to 75 mm, supporting diverse user physiologies in shared laboratory settings.

This metallurgical microscope is essential for molecular cloning workflows and widely adopted in synthetic biology research involving reflective surface assessments. Its precise incident light control and advanced optics also make it critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and industrial quality control. The system’s configurable illumination and ergonomic features provide reliable performance in both academic research and industrial biotechnology applications.
