MAGUS Lum D400 Digital Fluorescence Microscope

The MAGUS Lum 400 fluorescence microscope is designed for diagnostics and research and can be used for fluorescence (reflected light) and brightfield (transmitted light) microscopy methods. With additional instrumentation it is possible to use polarization, darkfield and phase contrast techniques. Areas of application of the fluorescence microscope: DNA analysis, pathogen study, health and epidemiological surveillance, forensic expertise, etc.

Digital camera

The MAGUS CLM10 digital camera is designed for dark field microscopy and fluorescence techniques. The camera is equipped with a 2.3 MP sensor and produces realistic images at a resolution of 1920х1200 px. It is recommended for 40x, 60x, and 100x lenses. When making observations with medium-magnification lenses, the camera will produce even sharper details.
Videos are recorded at 120fps at the highest resolution. Videos flow smoothly, with smooth and delicate transitions between frames. The movement of the object is shown in real time, without delay. The camera makes it easy to observe moving objects and is suitable for academic demonstrations.
The camera is equipped with a USB interface 3.0. Data transfer speed is 10 times faster than USB cameras 2.0. The high-speed camera is recommended for professional labs, research, or university education.

Optical

It is a trinocular microscope: the binocular head is tilted at 30° and the digital camera (not included) is installed on the trinocular tube. The eyepiece tubes are 360° rotatable, so it is easy to adjust them to suit the user's height.

Five objectives can be installed in the nosepiece. Four infinitely planachromatic objectives are included. One of them is fluorescent with 40x magnification and is designed for fluorescence observations. 4x, 10x, and 100x objectives are used for the brightfield microscopy technique. An additional objective lens can be mounted in the available housing of the nosepiece to achieve higher magnification within the magnification range of the microscope.

The nosepiece is oriented towards the inside of the instrument, so that the user can see which objective is inserted in the optical path.

Lighting

The reflected light source is a 100W mercury vapor lamp. It is located in the lamp housing which offers efficient heat dissipation - the lamp does not overheat even after long hours of operation. The lamp can be centred on three axes to provide optimal illumination of the work area. If it needs to be replaced, simply remove it and install it. The mercury vapor lamp is suitable for fluorescent pigments because they have distinct peaks. The reflected light illuminator contains four excitation filters: ultraviolet (UV), violet (V), blue (B), and green (G).

Transmitted light source: 30 W halogen lamp. It has enough intensity to be able to work with any lens, regardless of magnification. Thanks to the color temperature of the illumination, even long-lasting observations are not straining the eyes. The lighting system also includes a condenser. There is a housing for a slider (contrast phase or darkfield).

In transmitted and reflected light, the Köhler lighting method can be set. With this lighting method, the edges do not darken, the sample is clearly visible, and the image has no artifacts.

Stage and focusing mechanism

The microscope is equipped with an ergonomic stage without a positioning rack. For observations in reflected light, a black plate should be placed on the stage, so as to reduce any unwanted light. The sample plate is removable if necessary by loosening two screws. The focus knobs are coaxial and are located on either side of the microscope. The coarse focus mechanism is equipped with fixing and tension adjustment knob, and the fine focus is for sharpness adjustment.

Fixings

The MAGUS Lum 400 microscope can be equipped with additional accessories: digital camera, phase contrast device, polarization device, darkfield condenser, eyepieces and objectives, phase contrast and darkfield sliders. If you want to measure objects, you can equip the microscope with a calibration slide.
