AmScope FM820 Series Upright Fluorescence Trinocular Compound Microscope 40X-1000X Magnification with Rotating Multi-filter Turret and 12MP Color CCD Camera
Key Features
- An infinity-corrected upright fluorescence microscope with a rotating 6-filter turret
- Includes 4 excitation filter-blocks: ultraviolet, violet, blue, and green
- Five magnification levels from 40X to 1000X
- High-output 100W Mercury-vapor lamp
- 12MP color CCD camera for low-light fluorescence applications
The FM820T is an upright fluorescence microscope with transmitted and reflected lighting, and a six-filter turret. The microscope is built around an infinity-corrected optical system with a 40X-1000X magnification range, and Koehler diascopic and episcopic illumination. The powerful 100W, wide-spectrum, mercury-vapor episcopic illuminator uses a rotary filter-selector which can house up to six fluorescence filter-blocks; already included are ultraviolet, violet, blue, and green excitation blocks. The sub-stage illuminator uses a 30W halogen lamp with field-lens and diaphragm for even, high-contrast lighting.
The backwards, quintuple nosepiece holds five plan-achromatic objective lenses, including: 4X, 10X, 20X, 40X, and 100X (oil). The Siedentopf-design head features a 30° incline, and a 48-75mm interpupillary-adjustment range. A trinocular photo-port provides a stable, dedicated mount for an imaging system. The microscope uses coaxial coarse and fine focus-adjustment, as well as coaxial control over X and Y translation of the 7.2" x 5.6" stage.
The 12MP color CCD digital camera and software suite provide a high-resolution imaging solution for fluorescence microscopy. The 1" format CCD sensor balances resolution and sensitivity with its 3.1µm pixels, favoring higher resolution while retaining moderate sensitivity. 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.

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. Some fluorophores may emit weak signals despite falling within filter specifications.
