Product Description
OPTIKA B-382PH-ALC
Binocular Phase Contrast Microscope with ALC
Part of the advanced B-380 series, this microscope is a versatile solution for laboratories needing to observe unstained, transparent samples. The OPTIKA B-382PH-ALC is equipped for Phase Contrast, Darkfield (dry), and Brightfield observation methods. It features high-quality W-PLAN PH objectives and the exclusive ALC (Automatic Light Control) system, which automatically adjusts illumination to maintain perfect brightness when switching objectives, ensuring a comfortable and efficient workflow.
Ergonomic and Reliable Performance
Built with high-quality materials, the B-382PH-ALC features a rackless mechanical stage for safe sample movement, a quintuple nosepiece, and coaxial focusing for precision. This model is ideal for viewing live cells, microorganisms, and other transparent specimens that are difficult to see with standard brightfield, providing high-contrast, detailed images without staining.

|
OPTIKA is proud to introduce its exclusive X-LED³ lighting source. A special combination of high-efficiency LEDs and a special optical system allows OPTIKA to double the light intensity generated by a standard LED. The resulting light is comparable to the light generated by a 50W halogen lamp but with a color temperature of 6300K, representing sunlight. |

Mechanical Stage Rackless Stage for Safety and Durability The B-380 series is equipped with a modern rackless mechanical stage. This design prevents the rack from protruding from the stage, avoiding potential scratches or injuries during use. The movement is smoother, more reliable, and provides a safer working environment, especially in educational settings. |
Laboratory Grade Optics & ALC System
OPTIKA W-PLAN PH objectives deliver high-contrast phase images with excellent flatness. The Automatic Light Control (ALC) system maintains your preferred brightness level automatically, so you can forget about illumination and focus on the sample, even when switching between brightfield and phase contrast.

Large Specimen View (20 mm Field Number) The F.O.V. (field of view) is based on a comfortable diameter of 20 mm. This means that a wide area of the sample can be inspected and allows a natural and easy view, particularly needed in a laboratory environment. |
Multi-Observation Condenser
This model is equipped with a versatile 5-position rotating condenser that holds annuli for 10x, 20x, 40x, and 100x phase contrast, plus a position for brightfield and another for darkfield (dry) observation, making it incredibly simple to switch between viewing modes.
