Fluorescence Microscope: Optika XDS-2FL
XDS-2FL: Inverted Fluorescence
The Optika XDS-2FL is a routine inverted epifluorescence microscope. The basic structure is dedicated to the most demanding applications of routine fluorescence analysis. XDS-2FL offers, in the same unit, brightfield and phase contrast capabilities, thus extending its potentials to most multicontrast applications.
Rauserv c.c. in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa can supply equipment to suit your application, Medical, Dental or Laboratory. Full service and repairs division available to assist at all times.
Optical system
The epifluorescence optical system is implemented via the standard excitation filter-dichroic mirror-barrier filter combination, applied to a 100W Hg lamp. It is supplied with EWF10x/22mm extra-widefield eyepieces, long working distance IOS objectives, and a double filterblock set (blue and green excitation). The extensive range of optional accessories allows a quick interchange of contrast mechanisms and a multi-contrast observation without removal of the specimen from the stage.
User comfort
XDS-2 is comfortable for the operator. The 22 mm extra-wide field is pleasant to use and minimizes operator stress. The special eyepieces are designed for eyeglass wearers.
Ergonomy
Every control is easy to reach, every component has been designed for a confortable use. The focusing and specimen translation controls are designed to allow to rest the wrists on the table. The brightfield light intensity regulation is placed very close to the focusing knobs. The specimen stage is fitted with a special glass insert that allows to see the objectives, for immediate identification of the magnification setup. The head implements an extremely innovative design, that permits adjustment to compensate for operator height.
