bScope
Versatile and evolutive!
The well-equipped microscopes of the bScope series are intensively used in secondary schools, universities, small and mid-sized laboratories and for veterinary applications. Apart from excellent ergonomical design, these robust and attractively priced microscopes are available in several configurations with HWF 10x/20 mm eyepieces and objectives for bright field and phase contrast
The design of the bScope is both ergonomic and evolutive. Height adjustable eyepieces and low stage controls minimize fatigue during long working sessions and therefore providing more comfort for microscopists. The robust and compact size of the bScope with its Cable Storage System allows more working space, safer operation and easy storage

EYEPIECES
High wide field HWF 10x/20 mm secured eyepieces with 20 mm field of view
HEAD
The bScope is equipped with a Siedentopf type head, 360° rotatable, with 30° inclined Ø 23.2 mm tubes. Binocular and trinocular models are equipped with a diopter ± 5 adjustment on left eyepiece. The interpupillary distance is adjustable between 48 to 76 mm
The models equipped with plan infinity corrected PLi objectives have a unique swiveling system of the eyepiece tubes for ergonomic positioning of the eyepieces in a high and in a low position
The trinocular head comes with a Ø 23.2 mm photo port, ensuring maximum flexibility. The prisms inside the heads are designed to minimize the light absorption for perfect digital imaging
NOSEPIECE
Revolving and reversed ball-beared quadruple or quintuple nosepiece
OBJECTIVES
The state-of-the-art production techniques and multi layer coatings used for the manufacturing of the bScope objectives enables the bScope to be used for the most demanding applications. World class spherical aberration correction and modern CNC and assembly technology ensure the perfect centering of the objectives
• Brightfield models: E-Plan, E-plan IOS infinity corrected, Plan IOS infinity corrected 4x/0.10, 10x/0.25, 20x/0.40, S40x/0.65, S60x/0.85 and S100x/1.25 oil immersion objectives
• Phase contrast models: E-plan Phase, E-plan Phase IOS infinity corrected, Plan Phase IOS infinity corrected 10x/0.25, 20x/0.40, S40x/0.65 and S100x/1.25 oil immersion objectives
All S40x, S60x and S100x oil immersion objectives are spring loaded. All optics are anti-fungus treated and anti-reflection coated for maximum light throughput
FOCUSING
Double coaxial, low-positioned coarse and fine adjustments with 180 graduations. Precision 1.11 µm, 200 µm per rotation, total travel approximately 19 mm. Supplied with an adjustable rack stop to prevent damage to sample and objectives. The coarse adjustment is equipped with friction control
STAGE
The bScope is equipped with a scratch resistant 152/197 x 131 mm stage with integrated 75 x 36 mm X-Y rackless mechanical stage, Vernier scale, soft-close removable specimen holder
The rackless stage has no protruding parts, enables more smooth movements and is safer in use. Low-positioned X-Y control knobs prevent fatique during long working sessions. The bScope can be equipped with a heating stage which can be set up to 50° Celsius by a PID temperature controller. Only available with newly purchased microscopes
