Optika IM-3

Optika IM-3

Routine inverse laboratory microscope offering a range of observation methods:

Inverse microscopes are useful for observing living cells or organisms at the bottom of a large container (such as a tissue culture flask). This makes it possible to observe under more natural conditions than on a slide, as would be the case with a conventional microscope. The IM-3 series was designed and engineered to provide the perfect solution for fast and reliable routine examinations, using the exclusive state-of-the-art X-LED8 illumination system. A particularly simple but clever optical design enables stable alignment and smooth and accurate movements. OPTIKA offers a variety of configurations, including innovative LED fluorescence technology for a new, improved experience.

X-LED8 EXCLUSIVE LIGHT SOURCE

The X-LED8 illumination system is based on a highly efficient, pure white LED, and special optics. It guarantees a constant colour temperature (6300K) at all intensity levels, no heat generation, and extreme power consumption efficiency. The entire system is pre-aligned and has a lifetime of 50,000 hours.

  • Unmatched sample colour fidelity and brightness
  • Special technology that doubles light intensity
  • Constant pure white colour temperature, 6300K
  • Save money and energy
  • Low power consumption, just 8W
  • Long service life (50,000 hours = 20 years at 8 hours of operation per day)
