The AE31 Elite is Motic’s new statement for a professional inverted microscope
providing best image quality, ergonomic design and clever illumination
features. The AE31E is the perfect platform for all kind of routine microbiology
applications in clinical and pharmaceutical laboratories with best options for
university research environments.

In full accordance with Motic’s CCIS
Infinity System, the new LWD Plan
Achromatic objectives with an intelligent Phase contrast concept deliver a
remarkable image quality. Phase contrast is an integral part of all standard
packages, while the optional 4X Phase objective is dedicated to fast screening.
The AE31E stand carries an encoded 5-fold nosepiece with a light memory
function. The illumination intensity for each objective position is memorized
and replicated once the respective objective is swung in again. Rich illumination
power is given by the 30 Watt Halogen light source in a Full-Koehler configura-
tion, simply interchangeable with 3W LED modules of different color tempera-
tures. For maximum power requests, a 100W Halogen version is available.
The Auto ON/OFF function, based on a built-in IR-sensor, deactivates the
microscope in case it is left by the user; no need for a final instrument check
when work is finished.
An upgrade with fluorescence is offered for the entry level of research applica-
tions. Documentation is facilitated by the 100:0/0:100 light split option for
shortest possible exposure times.
The complete AE31E microscope is manufactured in compliance with European
RoHS standards to avoid contact with lead-containing materials. An anti-fungus
treatment is applied to all parts of the microscope to protect the system in
humid environments.

SMART FUNCTIONALITY WITH
ERGONOMIC BASIS
Motic’s AE31E displays maximum functionality and ergonomics in all its mechanical aspects. Elegant
and robust, the microscope stand follows all needs for an intense daily use. The fixed stage plate with
optional lateral extensions carries a glass or metal insert for quick overview and comfortable change of
objectives. An attachable x/y object guide for a convenient sample evaluation under high magnifications
is available.
The fine focus with a step size of 2 microns allows a smooth drive through cell cultures by the
Long-Working-Distance objectives. For best possible documentation of fluorescence images, a
100:0/0:100 trinocular light split for maximum luminous efficiency can be supplied.
The AE31E eyepiece tubes guarantee a fatigue-free work in terms of viewing angle and improved
interpupillary distance, while the “butterfly” movement may increase the viewing height by 60mm for
individual positioning.

NEW LWD PLAN ACHROMATS
FOR EFFICIENT WORK
Motic’s new LWD Plan Achromatic objectives for inverted microscopes carry a clever concept for Phase
contrast. One illumination ring (Ph1) covers the objective magnifications from 10X up to 40X: no need
to move the Phase ring slider. The optional 4X Phase lens needs Phase ring Ph0 and is dedicated to
quick and efficient sample screening.
An optimized multi-layer coating for improved contrast as well as carefully selected glass quality for
better transmission leads to significantly brighter images. Motic is pleased to offer this newly developed
optics following the RoHS standard for lead-free manufacturing.
All optical components cooperate for a perfect image: condenser, objectives, tube lens and eyepieces.
Since the intermediate image is already fully corrected, no colored fringes will affect professional digital
results.

A CLEVER AND POWERFUL
LIGHT MANAGEMENT
To utilize the potentials of Motic’s new developments, the illumination concept has to take care of power
and quality. All stand versions carry the Full-Koehler setup. The 30 Watt Halogen light source is standard
in the AE31E and displays a full interchangeability with 3 Watt LED modules of different color temperatures
(4500K, 6000K). The 100 Watt Halogen version is recommended for maximum illumination power.
The light memory function of the AE31E is based on an encoded 5-fold nosepiece which memorizes the
light intensity setting for each nosepiece position. The system replicates this intensity setting once the
respective position is swung in again. Any new adjustment is taken as an overwriting of the former setup.
The built-in IR-sensor activates the Auto ON/OFF function in case the microscope is left for more than
15 minutes and reactivates the microscope by return of the user. From an environmental perspective,
this feature saves energy and increases lab safety.

NEW TECHNOLOGIES
AND WELL-KNOWN TRADITION
The basic packages of the AE31E already offer the full functionality of a microbiology working platform.
An immediate start of work is possible, keeping further add-on options in mind. Phase contrast from
10X to 40X objective magnification is an integral part of all standard packages. The easy upgrade with
fluorescence rests upon the established fluorescence attachment with slider mechanism.This device
may carry up to 3 filter cubes. A complete range of filter combinations is available, covering routine
applications from UV up to NIR. Equipped with band pass barrier filters, multi color stainings can also
be treated.
The 100 Watt HBO lamp house with integrated mirror for increased light intensity offers a powerful
excitation for brighter signals. In combination with a Moticam digital camera, excellent image results
are ensured.

REPRODUCIBLE DOCUMENTATION
RESULTS WITH HIGH RELIABILITY
Documentation is a key issue in every aspect of microscopy, with special importance in biomedical
applications like microbiology. The AE31E allows to follow this requirement by traditional photomicrogra-
phy or more flexible C-mount solutions. Traditional photomicrography requires the trinocular version of the
AE31E, offering a 100:0/0:100 trinocular light split for shortest possible exposure times. This setup
delivers high resolution images of small fields. Live images for presentation and discussion may be
supplied by the software of the SLR camera manufacturer.
A more convenient approach is provided by Motic’s philosophy of easy digitization. The combination of
the AE31E with a member of Motic’s camera series delivers excellent live images which can easily be
presented to a larger public and saved for future analysis. All Moticams come equipped with a proprie-
tary software package to transform the AE31E into an analysis and documentation station. For limited
bench-top space, the model Moticam 580 is ideal for the presentation of High Definition images on an
HDMI screen without a computer. Motic’s new tablet cameras allow a quick sample inspection without
having a look through the eyepieces.
