Optical Microscopes

Euromex offers a full range of upright microscopes for educational, clinical and research use, spanning entry-level classroom models through advanced research-grade systems. The BioBlue series covers educational needs with monocular, binocular or trinocular viewing, achromatic objectives and LED illumination, while the budget-friendly EcoBlue series offers the same LED-lit, achromatic design for teaching labs. The iScope series steps up to research and clinical applications with plan achromatic optics, Köhler illumination and contrast methods including phase-contrast and fluorescence. The professional Oxion series supports plan or semi-plan optics with multiple contrast techniques and digital imaging, and the high-end Delphi-X Observer offers super-widefield optics in a modular design for demanding research work.

• Research applications requiring phase-contrast or fluorescence imaging

A Euromex stereo (dissecting) microscope is an optical microscope with a fixed or adjustable zoom objective, designed for observing samples at relatively low magnification, typically 2.5 to 90 times and up to 300 times on specialist models. Unlike a standard compound microscope, it uses two separate optical paths to produce a distinct image for each eye; the brain combines these two images into a single view with real depth of field, making it easy to judge the height and contour of a specimen. This stereoscopic, three-dimensional view is what makes the instrument so effective for examining solid, opaque specimens rather than thin transparent slides.

Key features:

• Fixed or adjustable zoom objective for magnifications from 2.5x up to 300x

• Two separate optical paths giving a true stereoscopic, three-dimensional image

• Wide working distance suitable for manipulating specimens under the lens

• Available across Euromex's education, university, life science and industry ranges

Typical applications:

• Studying the surface and contour of solid specimens

• Close manual work such as dissection, sorting and inspection

• Watch-making and small circuit-board manufacture or inspection

Euromex offers several series of inverted microscopes, each tailored to a specific laboratory application, with objectives specifically compensating for the 1.2 mm thick bottoms of petri dishes and culture dishes. The Oxion Inverso series is ideal for routine cell culture and tissue examination, combining high-quality optics with an ergonomic design for comfortable daily use. The iScope Inverted series is suited to live-cell imaging and fluorescence applications, offering advanced imaging capabilities and excellent optical performance, while the BioBlue Inverted series is designed for educational and routine biological work, combining affordability with reliable performance for basic laboratory use. Depending on the series, features such as phase contrast, fluorescence and high-resolution imaging are available to meet the needs of research and clinical environments.

Key features:

• Objectives compensate for 1.2 mm petri dish and culture dish bottoms

• Oxion Inverso — routine cell culture and tissue examination with ergonomic design

• iScope Inverted — live-cell imaging and fluorescence with advanced optical performance

• BioBlue Inverted — affordable, reliable option for education and routine biology

• Phase contrast, fluorescence and high-resolution imaging available by series

Typical applications:

• Routine cell culture and tissue examination
