Meiji Techno latest inverted microscope line is the cost-effective TC-5000 Series Inverted Biological Microscopes. The TC Series makes routine examining of tissue cultures, microbes and other live specimens in petri dishes and culture bottles fast and easy while delivering an excellent performance-to-cost ratio.
The TC Series is available in brightfield, phase contrast and epi-fluorescence models with either binocular or trinocular viewing head. The TC5000 Series Microscopes have an integrated front mounted camera port with adapters available for 35mm, CCD/CMOS and other cameras.
* Centering telescope is included with models TC-5300, TC-5400, TC-5500 & TC5600.
Binocular models, the TC5100, TC5300 and TC5500, incorporate the MA814 Siedentopf-type binocular head while the trinocular models, the TC5200, TC5400 and TC5600 have the MA816/10 Siedentopf-type trinocular head. The MA816/10 uses an 80/20 beam splitter that can be engaged for photo-microscopy. (100% to eyetubes or 80% to phototube and 20% to the eyetube.) Each microscope head has the eyetubes inclined at 30 degrees with the left eyetube having graduated diopter settings. The interpupillary distance on the viewing heads is adjustable between 53mm – 75mm.An optional ergonomic binocular head is also available.
Meiji Techno offers an assortment of newly designed Planachromat Infinity Corrected objectives for Brightfield, Phase Contrast and Fluorescence Microscopy.
