The FM820T-10M3 is an upright fluorescence microscope with transmitted and reflected lighting, a six-filter turret, and an 10MP imaging system. The microscope is built around an infinity-corrected optical system with a 40X-1000X magnification range, and Koehler diascopic and episcopic illumination. The powerful 100W, wide-spectrum, mercury-vapor episcopic illuminator uses a rotary filter-selector which can house up to six fluorescence filter-blocks; already included are ultraviolet, violet, blue, and green excitation blocks. The sub-stage illuminator uses a 30W halogen lamp with field-lens and diaphragm for even, high-contrast lighting.
The backwards, quintuple nosepiece holds five plan-achromatic objective lenses, including: 4X, 10X, 20X, 40X, and 100X (oil). The Siedentopf-design head features a 30° incline, and a 48-75mm interpupillary-adjustment range. A trinocular photo-port provides a stable, dedicated mount for an imaging system. The microscope uses coaxial coarse and fine focus-adjustment, as well as coaxial control over X and Y translation of the 7.2" x 5.6" stage.
The 10MP color digital camera provides a high-resolution imaging solution. The camera captures still images and video, and allows you to view a live stream on your PC. With software available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, it's a multi-platform imaging solution. The included Windows software offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. Independent preview and capture resolutions allow you to view high-speed video while capturing high-definition images. For Mac and Linux, there is a lite version with limited processing features.
