iScope - A masterpiece in microscopy
The iScope is available in various configurations suitable for Life and Biomedical Sciences, high schools, universities but also for routine medical applications
Besides the brightfield contrast method, configurations for phase contrast, cardioid mirror darkfield, basic polarization and several epi- illumination sources for fluorescence applications can be used. iScope models with multi-heads are also available for teaching purposes.

NOSEPIECE
Revolving quintuple reversed nosepiece for max. five objectives
STAGE
The iScope can be equipped with three types of stages (designed for 2 slides):
• 156 x 138 mm stage equipped with integrated 79 x 52 mm X-Y mechanical stage
• 187/230 x 140 mm reckless stage equipped with double slide holder and integrated 79 x 52 mm X-Y mechanical stage. The iScope reckless stage has no protruding parts, enables more smooth movements and is safer
• 220 x 157 mm ceramic stage with integrated 75 x 50 mm X-Y mechanical stage protects with a very tough ceramic surface against marks and scratches. The surface also ensures stray light not to be reflected from the stage into the objective
The iScope can be supplied with a heating stage which can be set up to 50° Celsius by a PID temperature controller. Only available with new purchased microscopes. Higher temperatures can be achieved on special request
CONDENSERS WITH PHASE CONTRAST SLIDER
There is a choice of two optional NA. 1.25 phase contrast condenser sets with phase contrast sliders and plan phase contrast objectives. The first version one is comes with plan phase 10x and S40x objectives with matching slider, the second version comes with plan phase 20x and and S100x oil immersion objectives. Available for iScope 160mm and IOS infinity versions
All sets are supplied with centering telescope and green opaque filter

CONDENSER FOR BRIGHTFIELD
The standard height adjustable Abbe N.A. 1.25 condenser for brightfield accepts sliders with phase annuli suitable for plan phase 10x/20x or S40x/S100x oil immersion IOS objectives for economical phase contrast. With magnification indication. A slider with a simple dark stop for darkfield up to 400x magnification is also available
CONDENSER FOR ZERNIKE PHASE CONTRAST
An optional height adjustable Zernike NA. 1.25 phase contrast disc condenser with plan phase 10/20/S40x and S100x oil immersion objectives and darkfield stop position for darkfield contrast up to 400x magnification. Supplied with alignment telescope and green filter
CONDENSER FOR DARKFIELD
A state-of-the-art condenser equipped with reflective cardioid mirrors, a high powered 5 W LED and a S100x objective with built-in iris diaphragm enable a real 1000x magnification darkfield solution
(Product data sheet iScope models for darkfield, see downloads)
FOCUSING
Coaxial coarse and fine adjustments, 200 graduations, 1 μm per graduation, 200 μm per rotation, total travel range is approximately 24 mm. Supplied with an adjustable rack stop to prevent damage to sample and objectives. The coarse adjustments are equipped with friction control.
ILLUMINATION
3 W adjustable NeoLED diascopic illumination with internal 100-240 V power supply for brightfield and phase contrast models
The innovative NeoLED design offer larger apertures, allowing the optical system of the iScope microscope to produce images at higher resolutions, very close to the theoretical diffraction limit of the optics. Other benefits of the NeoLED is the low energy consumption, no heating and a long operating lifetime
The Kohler illumination on models with IOS plan and plan phase infinity corrected system provides high contrast and a maximum achievable resolving power of the optics. Also available for other models as option
SMART LIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
- The Smart Light Control (SLC) automatically memorizes the last used illumination intensity brightness for each individual objective. When switching from one objective to another the SLC system remembers intensity when you return to that objective. Simply rotate the nosepiece to the next objective and the SLC will instantly adjust the illumination intensity to your desired level
- Light intensity can be locked to stop intensity changing by simply pressing the control button twice
- The LCD screen at the front of the microscope informs the user of the magnification and light intensity settings of the microscope, as well as the sleep and locking modes when activated
- Push the button once to enter/leave sleep mode and push the button twice to enter/leave lock mode.
ICARE SENSOR
The unique iCare Sensor is developed to avoid unnecessary loss of energy. The illumination of the microscope automatically switches off shortly after microscopists step away from their position
CSS - CABLE STORAGE SYSTEM
iScope allows users to easily insert the power cable into the back of the instrument, which enables easy storage. The integrated carrying grip at the back of the microscope ensures safe transportation of the microscope.
