Are you asking yourself: “Why is the resolution so small (3 megapixels)? I have seen 10 MP cameras out there and I want one.” If so, then please click here to understand the physics of light microscopy and why high resolution cameras give empty resolution and waste your binary file size.
High Resolution Cameras – Why they do no good

U-TR-30: Trinocular viewing head. Has 3 positions: all light to eyepieces, all light to camera, or split.

Special Features:

  • Brightfield Transmitted Illumination.
  • Brightfield Reflected Illumination.
  • Darkfield Reflected Illumination.
  • Cross Polarized Light in Reflected Illumination (both U-AN and U-PO engaged).
  • Plan Polarized Light in Reflected Illumination (only U-PO engaged).

U-RLBC Reflected light darkfield condenser on selector knob (BF / DF).

U-PO Polarizer Filter.

U-AN Analyzer (for use with polarizer to obtain cross polarized images.)(This is not the variable 360 degree rotating version.).

Darkfield Adapter (small inserted piece, above the objective nosepiece)(must have for optimal darkfield images)

U-D5BDRE: Quintuple 5-Place Nosepiece. Special nosepiece with larger threads/openings for the BD type objectives used for Darkfield. It also contains a light path guide made just for darkfield.

Slot in nosepiece for inserting options such as DIC slider (DIC items not included). This currently has a slider inserted that is for use with darkfield.

  • MPlan 20x/0.40 BD Infinity /0
  • MPlan 100x/0.90 BD Infinity /0. Dry objective. Does not use immersion oil.

These objectives are rated for BD meaning they give an optimal image in both brightfield and darkfield. Other objectives my look similar but are missing the BD marking and will not perform as well as these do under darkfield illumination.
