MAGUS Bio V360 Inverted Biological Microscope

Research microscope.
Designed for the study of liquid precipitates, cell colonies, live cells, tissue cultures, and other colored and non-colored samples in laboratory containers.
The inverted design allows you to use Petri dishes, multi-well plates, vials, roller bottles and flasks up to 75 mm and with a 1.2 mm thick bottom. The microscope uses special objectives for observation with such containers.
By removing the capacitor, cell colonies can be observed in Petri dishes or cylindrical flasks up to 187 mm.
The transmitted light microscopy technique (bright field and phase contrast) is used for the study of samples.
The installation of optional components allows the use of Hoffman modulation contrast and relief contrast methods.
The microscope is used for research in medicine, pharmacology, biology, and virology. The higher configuration of the microscope is suitable for IVF.

Microscope head

Binocular head with infinitely corrected optics. The digital camera is installed in the side port on the microscope head. Beam division of 100/0 or 0/100.

Nosepiece Revolver

Nosepiece revolver coded for 5 objectives. Alternatively, an additional lens can be installed in the free slot for extra magnification.

Objectives

Infinitely corrected planachromatic objectives with long working distance for plates with a thickness of less than 1.2 mm. The parfocal distance is 60 mm.
One lens is used to work using the brightfield method, while three lenses are used to work using the phase contrast method.

Maintain comfortable brightness levels when the magnification is changed

Objectives with different magnifications transmit light at different levels of intensity every time you change lenses, you need to adjust the brightness of the light. In addition, the brightness increases significantly when you switch from a higher magnification objective to a lower magnification objective. The sharp increase in brightness makes the eyes strain. The MAGUS Bio V360 is equipped with intelligent brightness control. The microscope has memory of the brightness of each objective that the user has selected and automatically sets it to the movement of the nosepiece. The intelligent control reduces the time it takes to adjust the brightness. MAGUS Bio V360 increases user comfort and saves time even when the task requires frequent magnification changes.

Focus mechanism

The coarse and fine focus knobs are coaxial and positioned low. The researcher can place his hands on the table and assume a comfortable position in front of the microscope.
The ring on the right side adjusts the tension of the coarse focus screw. The user adjusts the right voltage for observations.

Small table

The mechanical stage is fixed. A special mechanism is installed on the stage that moves the laboratory containers along two perpendicular directions. The fluid and micrometric movement of the object offers an accurate study: no part of the sample will be overlooked.
The long control handle of the coffee table ensures comfortable observations: your hand can rest on the table effortlessly.
The microscope kit includes a universal plate holder.

Capacitor

A phase contrast slider is installed in the capacitor. You can center the phase contrast rings. Using the slider saves time when switching between microscopy techniques.
A relief contrast slider or a Hoffman modulation contrast slider can be installed in the capacitor slot.

Lighting

The LED 3 W provides bright illumination, sufficient for brightfield and phase-contrast techniques with all types of lenses. The color temperature does not change when the brightness is adjusted. The life cycle of LED is 50,000 hours.

LCD status screen

The LCD screen at the base of the microscope shows the magnification of the objective, the brightness of the light source, and the mode of operation ("sleep", "echo").
Using the screen and its knob, the user adjusts the brightness, locks the brightness adjustment and sets the standby mode and the automatic switch-off timer.

Ergonomic design

Physical discomfort causes fatigue and reduces productivity. The ergonomic design of the microscope plays an important role in everyday scientific research.
MAGUS Bio V360 allows the user to carry out his activity comfortably. The microscope head is placed at an ergonomic angle so that your back and neck do not get tired.
Thanks to the low, compact stage, the user can handle the sample and work with laboratory containers in a practical way.
The long handle of the movement mechanism ensures that it is not necessary to lift your hand from the table to control the microscope or to change the position of the body.
The focus knobs are located at the base of the microscope. The user does not need to strain his hands. Thanks to the smooth movement of the mechanism, the user can focus on the object without any problems.

Fixings

There is a line of accessories designed for this microscope. The eyepieces extend the magnification range of the microscope. Additional eyepieces help to exploit the full potential of the most frequently used lens.
Hoffman modulation contrast and relief contrast devices extend contrast techniques and enable the analysis of objects not visible in brightfield and phase contrast.
A digital camera reproduces the microscope image on a monitor and stores the files, while the software captures sample measurements in real time.
You can use a calibration slide to measure objects and combine it with an eyepiece with a graduated scale or camera software.
