XAB500 Laboratory Biological Microscope

Key Benefits

• 30° inclined, rotatable Seidentopf head with 50-75mm interpupillary adjustment for comfortable viewing and operator handover
• Quadplex nosepiece holds four objectives, enabling rapid switching between magnifications without repositioning the slide
• Mechanical stage with 76mm x 52mm travel and 0.1mm scale allows precise slide positioning and repeatable measurements
• Coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs with 2um scale provide smooth, accurate focus control across the 26mm travel range
• Supports achromatic, plan, and infinity E-Plan objectives up to 100X (oil), so the same stand serves multiple inspection tasks
• Standard 6V/20W halogen lamp provides bright, stable illumination for routine biological work
• Optional accessories include phase contrast, fluorescence, polarizing, dark field, and LED illumination systems

Application Scenarios

• Routine histology and cytology slide examination in a clinical or teaching lab
• Teaching microscopy techniques in a university biology class with multiple students sharing one instrument
• Quality control of biological samples in a pharmaceutical or biotech research lab
• Microscopic inspection of microorganisms, cells, and tissue sections under brightfield and phase contrast
• Use of fluorescence and polarizing attachments for specialized sample analysis in research settings

Who It Is For

• Teaching laboratories in universities and schools conducting biology or life sciences instruction
• Clinical and veterinary labs performing routine slide analysis
• Research labs in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and environmental science
• Quality control departments in life science manufacturing requiring repeatable, documented inspections
• Biological testing labs in food safety, water quality, and medical diagnostics

Problems It Solves

• Fixed head microscopes force operators to strain or reposition their bodies during long inspection sessions
• Lack of mechanical stage makes slide positioning inconsistent and time-consuming
• Non-coaxial focusing knobs require separate adjustments for coarse and fine focus, increasing error risk
• Limited objective options force users to buy multiple stands for different magnification needs
• No standard illumination source leads to inconsistent lighting across instruments in a lab fleet

Technical Features

• Coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs with 26mm travel range and 2um scale
• Abbe condenser with N.A. 1.25 and iris diaphragm for high-resolution brightfield imaging
• 6V/20W halogen lamp standard, with optional 6V/30W, 3W-LED, and 0.3W-LED illumination systems
• Support for phase contrast (10X, 20X, 40X, 100X), fluorescence (epi, three-hole slide, mercury or LED), polarizing, dark field, and reticule eyepieces
• C-Mount adapter with 0.47X and 1X options for camera integration

Customization Options

• Choose between binocular or trinocular head configuration
• Select from achromatic, plan, or infinity E-Plan objectives for different resolution and flatness needs
• Add optional phase contrast, fluorescence, polarizing, or dark field attachments
• Upgrade illumination to 6V/30W halogen, 3W-LED, or 0.3W-LED (rechargeable) systems
• Add reticule eyepieces with 0.1mm scale for measurement
• Integrate a C-Mount adapter (0.47X or 1X) for camera connection

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Adjust the interpupillary distance to 50-75mm before focusing to ensure a single, merged image in both eyepieces
• Start focusing at the highest magnification objective, then move to lower magnifications to maintain focus across the zoom range
• Use the mechanical stage with the 0.1mm scale for consistent slide positioning during repeated inspections
• For oil immersion at 100X, apply a drop of immersion oil to the slide and clean the lens immediately after use
• When using phase contrast, ensure the phase ring matches the objective; the system supports 10X, 20X, 40X, and 100X
