MAGUS Lum V500L Fluorescence Inverted Microscope
Magnification: 100–400x. Trinocular head, plan achromatic objectives, 5W LED transmitted light and reflected light illumination, Köhler illumination

The microscope is intended for studying specimens using the fluorescence microscopy technique in reflected light and using the brightfield and phase contrast techniques in transmitted light.
The fluorescence microscopy is based on the ability of some substances to glow when exposed to light of a certain part of the spectrum. The illuminator contains three filters that provide optimal conditions for fluorescence excitation of the commonly used fluorochromes DAPI, FITC, and TRITC.
The microscope is used for the examination of liquid precipitates, cell colonies, living cells, tissue cultures, and other samples in nutrient medium in glassware up to 55mm with the bottom thickness of 1.2mm. The microscope uses special objectives for working with such glassware. The illuminator stand is tiltable for use with Petri dishes or flasks up to 165mm. The microscope is suitable for immunochemical diagnostics and chromosome analysis as well as the detection of latent bacterial and viral infections.

Description

Microscope head
Tube length – infinity (∞). When assembling the microscope, the user can rotate the eyepiece tubes 180° and adjust eye relief to fit their height. There is a trinocular microscope head.
The monitor is mounted in the vertical tube of the trinocular head and the digital camera – in the camera side port. The light beam on the trinocular head is split 50/50 (tube is open) or 100/0 (tube is closed), on the body – 100/0 or 0/100.

Revolving nosepiece
The 6-objectives revolving nosepiece is mounted on a stand under the stage.

Objectives
Infinity plan achromatic objectives with a long working distance for dishes with a bottom thickness of 1.2mm.
Three objectives are intended for brightfield and fluorescence microscopy techniques, and the other 3 objectives are for the phase contrast technique.

Focusing mechanism
Coaxial coarse and fine focusing knobs are located at the base of the microscope on both sides. The user can place their hands on the table and take a relaxed pose while observing. The focusing adjustment is smooth and effortless. On the right, there is a coarse focusing lock knob for quick adjustments after changing the specimen. On the left, there is a coarse tension adjustment ring for further adjustment.

Stage
There is a fixed stage with a mechanical attachment for moving the laboratory ware in two mutually perpendicular directions. The smooth and subtle movement of the object augments the accuracy of the study – no part of the specimen will be overlooked. The travel knob is located at the bottom and, therefore, the user will not strain their right hand. The microscope set includes three dish holders for dishes of different sizes.

Reflected light illuminator
The fluorescence excitation light source: 5W LED. The illuminator has three excitation filters for the DAPI, FITC, and TRITC fluorochromes.
Unlike mercury lamps, LEDs do not require bulky power units; they use rather little electricity and do not contain harmful mercury vapors. Living cells under LED lighting are not damaged by UV radiation and remain viable much longer. LEDs will instantaneously reach full brightness, won’t heat up during prolonged use, and they turn off quickly when needed. All of that makes it easier to switch from the brightfield technique to fluorescence and back again. The lifetime of the LEDs is 50,000 hours. It is recommended to choose an LED-based fluorescence microscope for educational purposes as the safest and low-maintenance option.

Condenser
Phase contrast turret condenser with four positions. There is a free slot for brightfield microscopy; the other three slots with phase annuli plates are used for working with objectives at magnifications of 10x, 20x, and 40x. The phase contrast rings can be centered. Fast and intuitive switching between microscopy techniques saves time and simplifies the researcher’s work.

Transmitted light source
The transmitted light illuminator has a 5W LED. It is bright enough to work on all objectives using the brightfield and phase contrast techniques. The color temperature does not change when you adjust the brightness. The LED has a lifespan of 50,000 hours.

Köhler illumination in transmitted light
The Köhler illuminator improves the image quality of the observed sample: each objective achieves maximum resolution; the field of view is illuminated evenly without darkening at the edges. The object of study is in sharp focus and the image artifacts are removed.

Accessories
There is a line of accessories designed specifically for this microscope.
Eyepieces that extend the magnification range of the microscope. The optional eyepieces help you maximize the potential of the objective that you use most often.
A digital camera that outputs the microscope image to a monitor and stores files along with software that takes real-time measurements of specimens.
A calibration slide for measuring objects that can be combined with an eyepiece with a scale or the camera software.

Alternative models
The MAGUS Lum V500L is an alternative for the following models: Nikon ECLIPSE Ts2, Nikon ECLIPSE Ts2-F and Nikon ECLIPSE Ts2R. View all of the alternatives.
