YR06652 Trinocular Inverted LED Fluorescent Microscope

YR06652 Trinocular Inverted LED Fluorescent Microscope

The YR06652 Trinocular Inverted LED Fluorescence Microscope is a professional solution designed for laboratories that require advanced observation of live cells, cell cultures, and biological samples in large containers. Its inverted design, combined with an Infinity Plan optical system and LWD (Long Working Distance) objectives, allows comfortable work with culture plates, bottles, and flasks without compromising image quality. It incorporates a 3-position fluorescence slide with 5W LED fluorescence illumination, making it ideal for applications in biomedical research, biotechnology, microbiology, and quality control. This microscope features a Seidentopf trinocular head with E100:P0 / E20:P80 light splitting, facilitating the integration of digital cameras for image documentation and analysis without interrupting visual observation. The LWD condenser NA 0.3, with a working distance of 72 mm (up to 195 mm without the condenser), provides great flexibility for different sample types. In addition, it offers standard 6V/30W Koehler halogen illumination, with an optional 5W LED illumination, ensuring stable lighting and low energy consumption. In the market, this type of inverted fluorescence microscope is positioned in a competitive price range within the professional segment, offering an excellent balance between performance, durability, and cost compared to equivalent equipment. Thanks to its LWD Infinity Plan objectives (10x, 20x, 40x) and the LWD 20x phase contrast objective, the YR06652 enables both brightfield and phase contrast observation, covering a wide variety of techniques without the need to change equipment. This makes it a strategic investment for laboratories seeking versatility, optical precision, and technological scalability.
