Fiberoptic Lightsource
For uncompromising darkfield illumination, the Biomedx Systems provide 150 watts of light carried through a pure glass fiber optic cable directly into the microscope. Since fiberoptic technology was invented, it has been used to get bright light into small spaces, and microscope illumination is one area it has been used extensively.

Universal Turret Condenser
This is the no hassle condenser for the technician that wants to easily move from brightfield, to phase contrast, to darkfield, to 3D with a simple turret rotation. This avoids the hassle of changing condensers between optical modes. Once this condenser is adjusted and locked into place, it is rock steady and holds its settings through continued use. This condenser has six positions; brightfield (w/iris), 3 phase contrast positions, darkfield and 3D/relief contrast. It gives excellent phase contrast performance, and good darkfield with the non-oil 40x objective. The condenser has a numerical aperture of 1.25, so it can be oiled for higher performance using the appropriate objective.
For more exacting darkfield light requirements, the dedicated oil darkfield condenser can be used.

Field Iris Diaphragm
For Koehler illumination in brightfield mode, but more importantly, we use it for live blood viewing in darkfield mode with the turret condenser. The field iris allows the technician to cut out incident light giving a higher contrast darkfield image. It comes standard on all of our systems.

Infinity Corrected Objectives
For uncompromising quality all of our systems use the latest state of the art Olympus infinity corrected objectives. The standard objectives used with our typical systems include;
2x Plan Ach for brightfield/darkfiled,
4x Plan Ach for brightfield/darkfield,
10x Plan Ach for brightfield/darkfield,
20x Plan Ach phase/darkfield,
40x Plan Ach phase/darkfield/3D,
100x Plan Ach phase oil,
50x Plan Ach oil iris for darkfield,
100x Plan Ach oil iris for darkfield.
Depending on quality, some objectives can be priced as high as $12,000 just by themselves.
The objectives are placed into a turret nosepiece which rotates each objective into place as needed. Our standard microscope system has a 5 objective nosepiece turret.

Video Imaging
When cost needs to meet a budget, we use micro-head medical imaging cameras with the latest cutting edge CCD imager and on-board algorithms built into its internal ROM chips for excellent color and image rendition for standard-definition viewing. These cameras also undergo stricter quality control from the mfg to meet our specific microscope application needs.
High-def prosumer camcorders with zooming features provides superb big screen viewing for impressive bio education. We also set up these up with wireless memory chips for automatic camera to computer download of captured images.

Optical Zoom Systems
A superior choice over zooms which simply move the video camera up an down over a projection lens. These are primarily used with standard definition video cameras that have no zoom function.

Software
Many options exist to get the video image from your microscope to your desktop or laptop computer. Using native operating system tools you can easily file and catalog your live blood and dry layer images on your computer to client folders for easy retrieval and for adding to reports or research studies.
