Motic Microscope digital BA310

Microscope BA310

The BA310 from Motic is designed specifically for the rigors of daily routine work in the demanding applications of Universities, Clinics, Laboratories, and any other life science or medical application requiring quality optical performance. Using Motic’s Color Corrected Infinity Optics (CCIS®) with newly designed EF-N Plan Achromats, this model’s full Koehler configuration provides maximum illumination quality for even the most demanding samples. Also, the BA310’s upgradeability to include additional contrast methods and discussion devices, ensure this model will offer long term functionality to all user levels in a variety of applications.

Objectives

To improve the overall optical performance of the BA310, Motic introduces a newly designed generation of Plan Achromatic Objectives made of high quality optical glass; CCIS® EF-N Plan. These new lenses are now multi-layer coated for improved contrast to enhance images even with weak slide stainings. Together with a new calculated tube lens, the result is a fully corrected, perfected intermediate image without colored fringes.

Eyepieces

The new standard eyepieces, N-WF 10X/20 with high eyepoint for eyeglass wearers, also made of high quality optical glass, provide consistent diopter adjustment for both eyes. This enables perfect usage of reticles for measuring, counting, etc. Lockable eyepieces prevent inadmissible removal and confirms Motic’s dedication to student proof quality.

Eyepiece Tubes

Designed with an ergonomic viewing angle of 30º and incorporating an interpupillary distance of 48-75mm, the BA310 observation tubes guarantee fatigue-free viewing for hours. A large field of view (20mm) enables fast and comfortable screening. All standard eyepiece tubes now offer an extended “butterfly” swivel adjustment to increase the viewing height to accommodate individual user’s positioning. The trinocular tubes allow digital documentation by using a wide variety of digital cameras, with 20/80 or optional 0/100 light splits for the trinocular exit.

Illumination

The BA310 offers multiple illumination options, such as the Koehler 6V/30W Halogen or 3W LED.

BA310 Digital

Another digitalization option is the BA310 digital head. Replacing the conventional head with the Digital head transforms the BA310 into a teaching, training, and analysis station without the hassle of adapters and focus corrections. With a USB2.0 output to the computer, the system provides high resolution imaging in both real time and capture modes.
