The IN480T-FL provides a gamut of tools needed by any laboratory performing live cell studies and genetic research. This highly versatile inverted epi-fluorescence microscope is equipped with a Koehler transmitted illumination system for brightfield and phase-contrast observation, and a wide-spectrum episcopic illuminator for fluorescence observation. Two filter blocks are provided for common fluorophores, and additional filters are available for expanded coverage. The large stage and swing-out condenser-holder can accommodate a range of specimen containers including slides, dishes and flasks.

The Viewing Head

The viewing head has a 45° incline and Siedentopf interpupillary adjustment for flexibility and comfort. Super-widefield optics provide a larger field-of-view so you can see more specimen at any magnification. For users with asymmetrical vision, the left ocular can be adjusted to fine-tune focus. The trinocular format provides a dedicated photo-port for mounting a microscopy camera for capturing photos or videos. A sliding shutter isolates the light path when using a camera, avoiding stray light from the oculars during fluorescence imaging. The 23mm photo port is height-adjustable to match focus with the eyepieces, and can be replaced with an optional CX series C-mount port which have built-in reduction, and can directly interface with C-mount cameras.

Optics

The infinity-corrected optical system eliminates optical errors and ensures highly precise images. The quintuple objective turret provides instant access to 5 magnification levels. This allows you to efficiently move through magnifications from 40X to 600X. These high-quality lenses are achromatically corrected to improve resolution and color accuracy, with planatic flat-field correction to provide edge-to-edge sharpness.

The Stage

The large stage can accommodate slides, multi-well plates, dishes, and short flasks thanks to a number of included stage templates. Two plates are supplied for the stage’s aperture, including glass and key-holed metal for varying light control. A large mechanical caliper can hold and position any of the sample templates for precision placement. An extension is provided for an additional 70mm width when needed.

Koehler Transmitted Illumination

The Koehler transmitted illumination system consists of a centerable 30W halogen lamp, a field lens with iris, and a centerable, height-adjustable condenser with iris. The ability to center the lamp and condenser, along with the field and aperture diaphragms, allow for highly-efficient, optimized illumination for maximum resolution. Along with height adjustment, the condenser can be swung out of the light path. A slide-in annulus board provides two centerable phase-contrast annuli, as well as an open setting which can be used with colored filters for band-isolation or color-correction.

Epi-fluorescence Illumination

A 100W mercury-vapor episcopic illuminator provides wide-spectrum lighting for fluorescence excitation. Two filter blocks can be mounted and alternated during observation. Blue and green excitation blocks are included to cover a wide range of common fluorophores.

G1 560nm/40nm 600nm 635nm/60nm Texas Red, Cy3.5, Mito Tracker Red
Mercury HBO Excitation

Mercury HBO lamps produce a wide spectrum of wavelengths, including ultraviolet. While this fluorescent light-source can excite fluorophores throughout its entire spectrum, there are peak wavelengths with optimal output. The included filter blocks will accommodate a wide range of fluorophores, although the nature of mercury arc lamps limits effectiveness outside of the peak wavelengths.

Digital Imaging

The highly-sensitive 2.8MP color CCD digital camera provides a low-light imaging solution, ideal for fluorescence microscopy. The camera captures still images and video, and allows you to view a live stream on your PC. With software available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, it's a multi-platform imaging solution. The included Windows software offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. Independent preview and capture resolutions allow you to view high-speed video while capturing high-definition images. For Mac and Linux, there is a lite version with limited processing features.

  • Three phase-contrast objective lenses
  • One pair 10X eyepieces
  • One pair 15X eyepieces
  • One glass stage insert
  • One metal stage insert
  • Three specimen holders
  • One phase-contrast annulus board
  • One centering telescope
  • Two bulbs
  • Two power cables
  • One dust cover
  • One fluorescence lamp housing
  • One power supply for fluorescence lamp
  • One mercury HBO bulb
  • One B1 filter block
  • One G1 filter block
  • One UV-blocking light shild
  • One USB 3.0 CCD C-mount camera
  • One 23mm C-mount reduction lens
  • Two port adapters: 30mm, 30.5mm
  • One USB 3.0 cable
  • One software CD
  • The IN480T-FL provides a gamut of tools needed by any laboratory performing live cell studies and genetic research. This highly versatile inverted epi-fluorescence microscope is equipped with a Koehler transmitted illumination system for brightfield and phase-contrast observation, and a wide-spectrum episcopic illuminator for fluorescence observation. Two filter blocks are provided for common fluorophores, and additional filters are available for expanded coverage. The large stage and swing-out condenser-holder can accommodate a range of specimen containers including slides, dishes and flasks.

    The Viewing Head

    The viewing head has a 45° incline and Siedentopf interpupillary adjustment for flexibility and comfort. Super-widefield optics provide a larger field-of-view so you can see more specimen at any magnification. For users with asymmetrical vision, the left ocular can be adjusted to fine-tune focus. The trinocular format provides a dedicated photo-port for mounting a microscopy camera for capturing photos or videos. A sliding shutter isolates the light path when using a camera, avoiding stray light from the oculars during fluorescence imaging. The 23mm photo port is height-adjustable to match focus with the eyepieces, and can be replaced with an optional CX series C-mount port which have built-in reduction, and can directly interface with C-mount cameras.

    Optics

    The infinity-corrected optical system eliminates optical errors and ensures highly precise images. The quintuple objective turret provides instant access to 5 magnification levels. This allows you to efficiently move through magnifications from 40X to 600X. Additional 15X eyepieces expand the maximum magnification to 900X with 9 unique levels. These high-quality lenses are achromatically corrected to improve resolution and color accuracy, with planatic flat-field correction to provide edge-to-edge sharpness.

    The Stage

    The large stage can accommodate slides, multi-well plates, dishes, and short flasks thanks to a number of included stage templates. Two plates are supplied for the stage’s aperture, including glass and key-holed metal for varying light control. A large mechanical caliper can hold and position any of the sample templates for precision placement. An extension is provided for an additional 70mm width when needed.

    Koehler Transmitted Illumination

    The Koehler transmitted illumination system consists of a centerable 30W halogen lamp, a field lens with iris, and a centerable, height-adjustable condenser with iris. The ability to center the lamp and condenser, along with the field and aperture diaphragms, allow for highly-efficient, optimized illumination for maximum resolution. Along with height adjustment, the condenser can be swung out of the light path. A slide-in annulus board provides two centerable phase-contrast annuli, as well as an open setting which can be used with colored filters for band-isolation or color-correction.

    Epi-fluorescence Illumination

    A 100W mercury-vapor episcopic illuminator provides wide-spectrum lighting for fluorescence excitation. Two filter blocks can be mounted and alternated during observation. Blue and green excitation blocks are included to cover a wide range of common fluorophores.

    G1 560nm/40nm 600nm 635nm/60nm Texas Red, Cy3.5, Mito Tracker Red
    Mercury HBO Excitation

    Mercury HBO lamps produce a wide spectrum of wavelengths, including ultraviolet. While this fluorescent light-source can excite fluorophores throughout its entire spectrum, there are peak wavelengths with optimal output. The included filter blocks will accommodate a wide range of fluorophores, although the nature of mercury arc lamps limits effectiveness outside of the peak wavelengths.

    Digital Imaging

    The highly-sensitive 12MP color CCD digital camera provides a low-light imaging solution, ideal for fluorescence microscopy. The camera captures still images and video, and allows you to view a live stream on your PC. With software available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, it's a multi-platform imaging solution. The included Windows software offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus.

  • Five brightfield objective lenses
  • Three phase-contrast objective lenses
  • One pair 10X eyepieces
  • One pair 20X eyepieces
  • One glass stage insert
  • One metal stage insert
  • Three specimen holders
  • One phase-contrast annulus board
  • One centering telescope
  • Two bulbs
  • Two power cables
  • One dust cover
  • One fluorescence lamp housing
  • One power supply for fluorescence lamp
  • One mercury HBO bulb
  • One B1 filter block
  • One G1 filter block
  • One UV-blocking light shild
  • One USB 3.0 CCD C-mount camera
  • One USB 3.0 cable
  • One software CD
  • The IN480T-FL provides a gamut of tools needed by any laboratory performing live cell studies and genetic research. This highly versatile inverted epi-fluorescence microscope is equipped with a Koehler transmitted illumination system for brightfield and phase-contrast observation, and a wide-spectrum episcopic illuminator for fluorescence observation. Two filter blocks are provided for common fluorophores, and additional filters are available for expanded coverage. The large stage and swing-out condenser-holder can accommodate a range of specimen containers including slides, dishes and flasks.

    The Viewing Head

    The viewing head has a 45° incline and Siedentopf interpupillary adjustment for flexibility and comfort. Super-widefield optics provide a larger field-of-view so you can see more specimen at any magnification. For users with asymmetrical vision, the left ocular can be adjusted to fine-tune focus. The trinocular format provides a dedicated photo-port for mounting a microscopy camera for capturing photos or videos. A sliding shutter isolates the light path when using a camera, avoiding stray light from the oculars during fluorescence imaging. The 23mm photo port is height-adjustable to match focus with the eyepieces, and can be replaced with an optional CX series C-mount port which have built-in reduction, and can directly interface with C-mount cameras.

    Optics

    The infinity-corrected optical system eliminates optical errors and ensures highly precise images. The quintuple objective turret provides instant access to 5 magnification levels. This allows you to efficiently move through magnifications from 40X to 600X. Additional 25X eyepieces expand the maximum magnification to 1500X with 9 unique levels. These high-quality lenses are achromatically corrected to improve resolution and color accuracy, with planatic flat-field correction to provide edge-to-edge sharpness.

    The Stage

    The large stage can accommodate slides, multi-well plates, dishes, and short flasks thanks to a number of included stage templates. Two plates are supplied for the stage’s aperture, including glass and key-holed metal for varying light control. A large mechanical caliper can hold and position any of the sample templates for precision placement. An extension is provided for an additional 70mm width when needed.

    Koehler Transmitted Illumination

    The Koehler transmitted illumination system consists of a centerable 30W halogen lamp, a field lens with iris, and a centerable, height-adjustable condenser with iris. The ability to center the lamp and condenser, along with the field and aperture diaphragms, allow for highly-efficient, optimized illumination for maximum resolution. Along with height adjustment, the condenser can be swung out of the light path. A slide-in annulus board provides two centerable phase-contrast annuli, as well as an open setting which can be used with colored filters for band-isolation or color-correction.

    Epi-fluorescence Illumination

    A 100W mercury-vapor episcopic illuminator provides wide-spectrum lighting for fluorescence excitation. Two filter blocks can be mounted and alternated during observation. Blue and green excitation blocks are included to cover a wide range of common fluorophores.

    G1 560nm/40nm 600nm 635nm/60nm Texas Red, Cy3.5, Mito Tracker Red
    Mercury HBO Excitation

    Mercury HBO lamps produce a wide spectrum of wavelengths, including ultraviolet. While this fluorescent light-source can excite fluorophores throughout its entire spectrum, there are peak wavelengths with optimal output. The included filter blocks will accommodate a wide range of fluorophores, although the nature of mercury arc lamps limits effectiveness outside of the peak wavelengths.

    UV 334nm, 365nm
    V 405nm
    B 436nm
    G 546nm
    Y 578nm

    Digital Imaging

    The highly-sensitive 2.8MP color CCD digital camera provides a low-light imaging solution, ideal for fluorescence microscopy. The camera captures still images and video, and allows you to view a live stream on your PC. With software available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, it's a multi-platform imaging solution. The included Windows software offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. Independent preview and capture resolutions allow you to view high-speed video while capturing high-definition images. For Mac and Linux, there is a lite version with limited processing features.

    Note: Buyers are responsible for return shipping and handling cost for warranty services. Our warranty covers parts and labor only.

    The IN480T-FL provides a gamut of tools needed by any laboratory performing live cell studies and genetic research. This highly versatile inverted epi-fluorescence microscope is equipped with a Koehler transmitted illumination system for brightfield and phase-contrast observation, and a wide-spectrum episcopic illuminator for fluorescence observation. Two filter blocks are provided for common fluorophores, and additional filters are available for expanded coverage. The large stage and swing-out condenser-holder can accommodate a range of specimen containers including slides, dishes and flasks.

    The Viewing Head

    The viewing head has a 45° incline and Siedentopf interpupillary adjustment for flexibility and comfort. Super-widefield optics provide a larger field-of-view so you can see more specimen at any magnification. For users with asymmetrical vision, the left ocular can be adjusted to fine-tune focus. The trinocular format provides a dedicated photo-port for mounting a microscopy camera for capturing photos or videos. A sliding shutter isolates the light path when using a camera, avoiding stray light from the oculars during fluorescence imaging. The 23mm photo port is height-adjustable to match focus with the eyepieces, and can be replaced with an optional CX series C-mount port which have built-in reduction, and can directly interface with C-mount cameras.

    Optics

    The infinity-corrected optical system eliminates optical errors and ensures highly precise images. The quintuple objective turret provides instant access to 5 magnification levels. This allows you to efficiently move through magnifications from 40X to 600X. These high-quality lenses are achromatically corrected to improve resolution and color accuracy, with planatic flat-field correction to provide edge-to-edge sharpness.

    The Stage

    The large stage can accommodate slides, multi-well plates, dishes, and short flasks thanks to a number of included stage templates. Two plates are supplied for the stage’s aperture, including glass and key-holed metal for varying light control. A large mechanical caliper can hold and position any of the sample templates for precision placement. An extension is provided for an additional 70mm width when needed.

    Koehler Transmitted Illumination

    The Koehler transmitted illumination system consists of a centerable 30W halogen lamp, a field lens with iris, and a centerable, height-adjustable condenser with iris. The ability to center the lamp and condenser, along with the field and aperture diaphragms, allow for highly-efficient, optimized illumination for maximum resolution. Along with height adjustment, the condenser can be swung out of the light path. A slide-in annulus board provides two centerable phase-contrast annuli, as well as an open setting which can be used with colored filters for band-isolation or color-correction.

    Epi-fluorescence Illumination

    A 100W mercury-vapor episcopic illuminator provides wide-spectrum lighting for fluorescence excitation. Two filter blocks can be mounted and alternated during observation. Blue and green excitation blocks are included to cover a wide range of common fluorophores.

    G1 560nm/40nm 600nm 635nm/60nm Texas Red, Cy3.5, Mito Tracker Red
    Mercury HBO Excitation

    Mercury HBO lamps produce a wide spectrum of wavelengths, including ultraviolet. While this fluorescent light-source can excite fluorophores throughout its entire spectrum, there are peak wavelengths with optimal output. The included filter blocks will accommodate a wide range of fluorophores, although the nature of mercury arc lamps limits effectiveness outside of the peak wavelengths.

    UV 334nm, 365nm
    V 405nm
    B 436nm
    G 546nm
    Y 578nm

    Digital Imaging

    The highly-sensitive 2.8MP color CCD digital camera provides a low-light imaging solution, ideal for fluorescence microscopy. The camera captures still images and video, and allows you to view a live stream on your PC. With software available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, it's a multi-platform imaging solution. The included Windows software offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. Independent preview and capture resolutions allow you to view high-speed video while capturing high-definition images. For Mac and Linux, there is a lite version with limited processing features.

  • One USB 3.0 CCD C-mount camera
  • One 23mm C-mount reduction lens
  • Two port adapters: 30mm, 30.5mm
  • One USB 3.0 cable
  • One software CD
  • The IN480T-FL provides a gamut of tools needed by any laboratory performing live cell studies and genetic research. This highly versatile inverted epi-fluorescence microscope is equipped with a Koehler transmitted illumination system for brightfield and phase-contrast observation, and a wide-spectrum episcopic illuminator for fluorescence observation. Two filter blocks are provided for common fluorophores, and additional filters are available for expanded coverage. The large stage and swing-out condenser-holder can accommodate a range of specimen containers including slides, dishes and flasks.

    The Viewing Head

    The viewing head has a 45° incline and Siedentopf interpupillary adjustment for flexibility and comfort. Super-widefield optics provide a larger field-of-view so you can see more specimen at any magnification. For users with asymmetrical vision, the left ocular can be adjusted to fine-tune focus. The trinocular format provides a dedicated photo-port for mounting a microscopy camera for capturing photos or videos. A sliding shutter isolates the light path when using a camera, avoiding stray light from the oculars during fluorescence imaging. The 23mm photo port is height-adjustable to match focus with the eyepieces, and can be replaced with an optional CX series C-mount port which have built-in reduction, and can directly interface with C-mount cameras.

    Optics

    The infinity-corrected optical system eliminates optical errors and ensures highly precise images. The quintuple objective turret provides instant access to 5 magnification levels. This allows you to efficiently move through magnifications from 40X to 600X. Additional 15X eyepieces expand the maximum magnification to 900X with 9 unique levels. These high-quality lenses are achromatically corrected to improve resolution and color accuracy, with planatic flat-field correction to provide edge-to-edge sharpness.

    The Stage

    The large stage can accommodate slides, multi-well plates, dishes, and short flasks thanks to a number of included stage templates. Two plates are supplied for the stage’s aperture, including glass and key-holed metal for varying light control. A large mechanical caliper can hold and position any of the sample templates for precision placement. An extension is provided for an additional 70mm width when needed.

    Koehler Transmitted Illumination

    The Koehler transmitted illumination system consists of a centerable 30W halogen lamp, a field lens with iris, and a centerable, height-adjustable condenser with iris. The ability to center the lamp and condenser, along with the field and aperture diaphragms, allow for highly-efficient, optimized illumination for maximum resolution. Along with height adjustment, the condenser can be swung out of the light path. A slide-in annulus board provides two centerable phase-contrast annuli, as well as an open setting which can be used with colored filters for band-isolation or color-correction.

    Epi-fluorescence Illumination

    A 100W mercury-vapor episcopic illuminator provides wide-spectrum lighting for fluorescence excitation. Two filter blocks can be mounted and alternated during observation. Blue and green excitation blocks are included to cover a wide range of common fluorophores.

  • Five brightfield objective lenses
  • Three phase-contrast objective lenses
  • One pair 10X eyepieces
  • One pair 20X eyepieces
  • One glass stage insert
  • One metal stage insert
  • Three specimen holders
  • One phase-contrast annulus board
  • One centering telescope
  • Two bulbs
  • Two power cables
  • One dust cover
  • One fluorescence lamp housing
  • One power supply for fluorescence lamp
  • One mercury HBO bulb
  • One B1 filter block
  • One G1 filter block
  • One UV-blocking light shild
  • One USB 3.0 CCD C-mount camera
  • One USB 3.0 cable
  • One software CD
  • The IN480T-FL provides a gamut of tools needed by any laboratory performing live cell studies and genetic research. This highly versatile inverted epi-fluorescence microscope is equipped with a Koehler transmitted illumination system for brightfield and phase-contrast observation, and a wide-spectrum episcopic illuminator for fluorescence observation. Two filter blocks are provided for common fluorophores, and additional filters are available for expanded coverage. The large stage and swing-out condenser-holder can accommodate a range of specimen containers including slides, dishes and flasks.

    The Viewing Head

    The viewing head has a 45° incline and Siedentopf interpupillary adjustment for flexibility and comfort. Super-widefield optics provide a larger field-of-view so you can see more specimen at any magnification. For users with asymmetrical vision, the left ocular can be adjusted to fine-tune focus. The trinocular format provides a dedicated photo-port for mounting a microscopy camera for capturing photos or videos. A sliding shutter isolates the light path when using a camera, avoiding stray light from the oculars during fluorescence imaging. The 23mm photo port is height-adjustable to match focus with the eyepieces, and can be replaced with an optional CX series C-mount port which have built-in reduction, and can directly interface with C-mount cameras.

    Optics

    The infinity-corrected optical system eliminates optical errors and ensures highly precise images. The quintuple objective turret provides instant access to 5 magnification levels. This allows you to efficiently move through magnifications from 40X to 600X. Additional 25X eyepieces expand the maximum magnification to 1500X with 9 unique levels. These high-quality lenses are achromatically corrected to improve resolution and color accuracy, with planatic flat-field correction to provide edge-to-edge sharpness.

    The Stage

    The large stage can accommodate slides, multi-well plates, dishes, and short flasks thanks to a number of included stage templates. Two plates are supplied for the stage’s aperture, including glass and key-holed metal for varying light control. A large mechanical caliper can hold and position any of the sample templates for precision placement. An extension is provided for an additional 70mm width when needed.

    Koehler Transmitted Illumination

    The Koehler transmitted illumination system consists of a centerable 30W halogen lamp, a field lens with iris, and a centerable, height-adjustable condenser with iris. The ability to center the lamp and condenser, along with the field and aperture diaphragms, allow for highly-efficient, optimized illumination for maximum resolution. Along with height adjustment, the condenser can be swung out of the light path. A slide-in annulus board provides two centerable phase-contrast annuli, as well as an open setting which can be used with colored filters for band-isolation or color-correction.

    Epi-fluorescence Illumination

    A 100W mercury-vapor episcopic illuminator provides wide-spectrum lighting for fluorescence excitation. Two filter blocks can be mounted and alternated during observation. Blue and green excitation blocks are included to cover a wide range of common fluorophores.

    G1 560nm/40nm 600nm 635nm/60nm Texas Red, Cy3.5, Mito Tracker Red
    Mercury HBO Excitation

    Mercury HBO lamps produce a wide spectrum of wavelengths, including ultraviolet. While this fluorescent light-source can excite fluorophores throughout its entire spectrum, there are peak wavelengths with optimal output. The included filter blocks will accommodate a wide range of fluorophores, although the nature of mercury arc lamps limits effectiveness outside of the peak wavelengths.

    UV 334nm, 365nm
    V 405nm
    B 436nm
    G 546nm
    Y 578nm

    Digital Imaging

    The highly-sensitive 2.8MP color CCD digital camera provides a low-light imaging solution, ideal for fluorescence microscopy. The camera captures still images and video, and allows you to view a live stream on your PC. With software available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, it's a multi-platform imaging solution. The included Windows software offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. Independent preview and capture resolutions allow you to view high-speed video while capturing high-definition images. For Mac and Linux, there is a lite version with limited processing features.
