Brunel SP300 Biological Microscope

A biological research standard microscope with exceptional phase contrast and brightfield imaging imaging

The SP300 is a very robust laboratory research standard microscope finished to a very high standard, with a modern design, and an exceptional optical performance. The light source is a Kohler LED unit integral to the base of the microscope. A particular feature is the large rectangular mechanical stage with drop down co-axial controls. The SP300 is specifically configured to provide the optical specifications needed for both research level bright field and phase contrast imaging. The objectives are infinity corrected plan x4, x10, x20, x40 and x100 (oil immersion) that are available as both brightfield and phase contrast systems.The superior quality of the plan objectives makes the SP300 an ideal instrument for phase contrast applications and is, we believe, the lowest priced phase contrast microscope that meets the HSE specification for asbestos fibre counting that is currently available and these specifications are exacting. We are confident therefore that whatever your phase contrast requirements are - particularly for diatom identification - this is the microscope that delivers. The Brunel SP300 trinocular microscope complies with the test slide reading required by the Health and Safety Executive for asbestos fibre counting which makes it exceptional in the world of phase contrast.

The bright field system has the accessory options of simple to use dark field or polarising inserts that fit the standard microscope frame. The co-axial coarse and fine focus controls have a graduation reading in 2 microns for an estimate of depth measurement. The total focus range covers 35mm and the movement runs in extra wide precision ball-bearing hardened steel tracks. Tension adjustment and safety auto focus stop units are fitted as standard.

The SP300 can be supplied in fthree configurations:

Bright field with infinity plan bright field objectives. The bright field condenser also has a slot that will take slider phase rings in pairs (x10 and x40) and (x20 and x100) and these sets are available as accessories - see towards the bottom of this page. This same slot will also take a polarising filter and a dry dark field accessory.

Brunel SP300 Bright field: Price £1329.17 + vat

Zernicke phase contrast with phase contrast infinity plan objectives only and a phase telescope. The Zernike condenser does have a bright field option and the phase contrast objectives can be used for bright field viewing although there will be a some small loss of resolution compared the the bright field objectives.

Brunel SP300 Zernike Phase Contrast: Price £1679.17 + vat

Supplied with both bright field and Zernike phase condensers and a full set of infinity plan bright field and phase contrast objectives. The best of both worlds.
