Meiji TC-5000CW LED/Halogen Inverted Epi-Fluorescence Biological Microscope

*** Pictured mechanical stage not included. ***

The TC-5500CW & TC-5600CW are our latest Binocular & Trinocular Inverted Epi-Fluorescence Biological LED Compound Microscope line is the cost-effective TC-5000 Series. 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-5000 Series is available in brightfield, phase contrast and epi-fluorescence models. The TC5000 Series Microscopes have an integrated front mounted camera port with adapters available for 35mm, CCD/CMOS and other cameras.

The TC-5500CW & TC-5600CW are equipped with PE-300W/LEDTC which is a LED fluorescence illumination kit, configured for fluorophores such as DAPI, FITC, TRITC & Cy5, adds greater control options to the platform, 3 channel control pod allows selection and control of excitation wavelength whether its to balance your FITC against your TRITC or to minimize bleaching by exciting only the markers that you are working. Supported by popular imaging software giving integrated control with your imaging set up time after time. An additional benefit of the PE-300W/LEDMT is that stains can be viewed either individually or in combination, without filter cube changes. This makes it ideal for use with multi-band filter sets as the screening process can be simplified when fewer filter cubes are used. Independent control for the three LED channels means that the user can control the level of excitation of each fluorescent stain independently on a multi-stained samples, potentially removing the need for single band filter sets altogether. Instant on/off with the ability to optimize intensity and minimize sample damage via the simple desktop Control Pod with a manual control pod and power supply. (Included in TC-5500CW & TC-5600CW models)

VIEWING HEADS
The Binocular TC5500, incorporate the MA814 Siedentopf-type binocular head while the Trinocular TC5600 have the MA816/10 Siedentopf-type trinocular head. The MA816/10 uses an 80/20 beamsplitter 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.

EYEPIECES
10x Super Widefield High Eyepoint eyepieces are standard and 15x and 20x eyepieces are also available as an option. A Super Widefield High Eyepoint 10x focusable eyepiece that accepts standard 25mm reticules is also available.

OBJECTIVE CHANGER
The smooth-operating, ball bearing mounted, quintuple nosepiece provides effortless objective changes.

OBJECTIVES
Meiji Techno America offers an assortment of Planachromat Infinity Corrected (ICOS) objectives for Brightfield, Darkfield and Phase Contrast observation modes.

STAGE
The optional attachable mechanical stage measures 112mm (X) x 72mm (Y). It has ergonomically positioned right-handed coaxial drop down controls. It also accepts the following optional accessory plates: 35mm, 55mm, 65mm, Petrie Dish Holders, 96-well Terasaki Plate Holder, 1″ x 3″ glass slide holder, Hemacytometer holder. Slide, chamber, and petri dish holding plates of various sizes are available separately.

CONDENSER
The standard condenser has a working distance of 73mm.

ILLUMINATOR
A powerful 6 volt 30 watt halogen bulb with pre-centered socket provides enhanced image quality and brightness for the observation of specimens.
