RPC - Relief Phase Contrast

RPC system is designed to increase visibility and contrast in unstained and living material by
detecting optical gradients (or slopes) and converting them into variations of light intensity.
Typical applications are transparent specimens, bacteria, tissue culture work, spermatozoa, cells
in glass containers, protozoa, mites, fibers, etc.
When viewed under modulation contrast optics, transparent objects that are essentially invisible
in ordinary brightfield microscopy take on an apparent three-dimensional appearance dictated
by phase gradients in the specimen. There are also no halos exhibited in the image, unlike the
images produced with phase contrast optics.
RPC is recommended over DIC technique in case of specimens like crystals (with effects upon
polarized light), or contained in specimen carriers such as plastic culture vessels, Petri dishes, etc.

IM-3 Series

Inverted microscopes are useful for observing living cells or organisms at the bottom of a large
container (e.g., a tissue culture flask) under more natural conditions than on a glass slide, as
it occurs with a conventional microscope. IM-3 Series is engineered and designed to be your
ideal solution for fast and reliable routine inspections, with the exclusive, state-of-the-art X-LED
illumination system. A particularly simple and ingenious optical design allows stable alignments
and smooth and accurate movements. OPTIKA provides different configurations, including the
innovative LED fluorescence technology for a new, enhanced experience.

X-LED8 Exclusive Lighting Source

Special technology able to double the light intensity for incomparable performance, ensuring
constant pure-white colour temperature (6,300K colour temperature).
Relevant money and energy saving thanks to the incredibly low energy consumptions which
allows you to cut the electricity bills by 90%!
The electric consumption (8 W only) proves the high efficiency of this system: incredibly high light
intensity combined with low consumption.

In fluorescence we can offer several options.

According to your application and to the fluorochromes you
are using, we can help you to identify the best light source.

» The most used and diffused method, worldwide
» Wide spectrum range for future upgrades

Large Specimen View (22 mm Field Number)

The F.O.V. (field of view) is based on a comfortable
diameter of 22 mm.
This means that an extra wide area of the sample
can be inspected and allows a natural and easy view,
particularly needed in a laboratory environment.
