XIF100 Inverted Research Fluorescence Microscope

Key Benefits

• Infinity optical system ensures consistent image quality across all magnifications and objectives
• One-piece structure provides mechanical stability for long-term research and repeated use
• Binocular or trinocular head with 48-75mm interpupillary adjustment supports multiple users and camera integration
• Fluorescence illuminator with UV, blue, and green excitation filters enables multi-channel imaging
• C-mount adapters (0.25X, 1X, 0.5X) allow connection to 1/3 CCD, 1/2", and 2.5X digital cameras
• Mechanical stage with 180mm x 155mm travel range and 96-well plate compatibility supports high-throughput screening
• Phase-contrast objectives (positive and negative) allow contrast enhancement in transparent specimens
• High eye-point plan eyepieces reduce eye strain during extended observation sessions

Application Scenarios

• Fluorescent cell culture imaging in a university or research lab with live or fixed samples
• High-throughput screening of 96-well plates in pharmaceutical or biotech quality control
• Phase-contrast and fluorescence imaging of microorganisms in microbiology labs
• Documentation of fluorescently labeled tissue sections with a digital camera attached via C-mount
• Teaching advanced microscopy techniques in a university laboratory with multiple observers

Who It Is For

• University and research laboratories conducting fluorescence and phase-contrast microscopy
• Biotech and pharmaceutical labs performing cell culture and assay screening
• Clinical and veterinary labs analyzing fluorescently stained samples
• Teaching labs in biology and life sciences departments
• Quality control departments in biotechnology and medical device manufacturing

Problems It Solves

• A fixed-stage microscope limits the size and type of specimen holders that can be used
• Lack of phase-contrast objectives makes transparent or low-contrast specimens difficult to observe
• No built-in fluorescence illuminator forces the buyer to source and integrate a separate light source
• Inconsistent optical performance across magnifications due to non-infinity systems
• No C-mount compatibility prevents direct connection to digital cameras for documentation
• Fixed interpupillary distance makes the microscope unsuitable for users with different eye spacing

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Adjust the interpupillary distance to match your eye spacing before focusing to avoid eye strain
• Use the diopter adjustment on the eyepiece to fine-tune focus for each eye
• Select the appropriate excitation filter (UV, blue, green) based on your fluorophore
• Place the specimen on the mechanical stage and secure it with the specimen clip or holder
• Use the 96-well plate holder for high-throughput screening applications
• Connect the camera via the 0.25X, 1X, or 0.5X C-mount adapter depending on sensor size
• Ensure the halogen lamp is properly seated and the power supply matches the input voltage
