Routine and Live Cell Microscope Solution

otic´s new AE2000 Inverted Microscope is the ideal instrument for routine live cell inspection in both educa- tional and high grade professional applications. Uniquely integrated features like the Ergo tube and Auto cut-off mode (“sleep mode”) are focused on enhancing its performance during the rigors of daily use. Designed for routine-lab or clinical work, as well as research requirements in Pharmaceutical Laboratories or Universities, the AE2000 is more than capable of fulfilling the expectations of its users. Superb optical quality can be expected from a brand new optical series of both...

Stands Designed as a basic instrument for any life-science laboratory, the AE2000 comes in three different stand types. Besides the standard Binocular and Trinocular versions, Motic is proud to present an astonishing ergonomic solution not before offered within this class of microscope: a Binocular Ergo model. The Ergo stand allows an adaptation of the viewing angle to the personal demands of the individual user, especially useful over prolonged hours of viewing. With a surprisingly small footprint, Motic´s AE2000 fits easily into every laboratory even when space is limited. A robust design...

Eyepiece tubes Depending on the working environment and its demands, the AE2000 Series has a solution. Each eyepiece tube allows a 360° swiveling movement as well as a flexible adjustment of the interpupillary distance between 48 and 75mm. The “Butterfly mode” increases the viewing height by 40mm. The reasonable beam split of 20:80 in the trinocular tube allows the adaptation of any modern documentation device. For the most demanding imaging applications, Motic offers a complete range of Moticam cameras, in both affordable CMOS and scientific grade CCD options. Designed with a comfortable...

Eyepieces In the AE2000, Motic´s Infinity Corrected CCIS Optical system displays a field flatness of 20mm. The high eye point principle of the AE2000´s eyepieces ensure true colour and sharp images, while minimizing eye fatigue and strain. The diopter adjustment of each eyepiece is an integral part to help spectacle wearers, in addition optimizing reticule usage. Besides the standard 10X eyepieces, the AE2000 series also offers higher magnification eyepieces. Eyepiece reticules In the Motic AE2000 a variety of reticules for measuring purposes are available. These include: Special reticules...

Objectives With the release of the new AE2000, Motic has achieved a new standard in optical design and development. The AE2000 offers a completely upgraded class of Plan Achromatic lenses within the CCIS Infinity Optical concept. This upgrade covers a complete range of the following magnifications for bright field and phase contrast: 4X, 10X, 20X and 40X. New in this level of microscopy is the special designed 4X Phase objective for fast overview and screening examinations. An optimized multi-layer coating for improved contrast as well as carefully selected glass quality for better...

Stage The convenient low positioned stage for optimized viewer posture and easy access has a new hard-coated surface for easy cleaning. All standard packages contain a glass stage insert as well as a new metal insert. Due to an orientation pin in the metal stage insert the movement of the objectives when changed follow exactly the shape of the semi-circular hole, preventing damage of the front lens. To enlarge the standard size of the stage (200 X 239mm), auxiliary extension plates are available. This allows the width of the working plate to be extended up to 333mm. The optional mechanical...

Condenser The resolution power of a microscope is deeply depending on an optimized condenser system. Motic´s AE2000 offers a clever concept to find the best compromise between working distance and illumination quality. The dovetail mounting of the condenser allows a quick change between the two condensers. Surprisingly Motic´s concept has one phase ring set, covering both condensers and thus ensuring maximum flexibility. When the condenser is removed, the maximum free working distance is 184mm.

Illumination Halogen bulb One of the first impressions of the Motic´s AE2000 is a significantly brighter and more even illuminated image. The light management of both Halogen and LED versions has been improved in terms of transmission rates and optimization of the light path. Standard packages come with a 6V/30W Halogen illumination, which will give sufficient power throughout the complete line of objectives offered - especially for the light consuming PH40X. The AE2000 also supports the most recent requirements for LED illumination by a simple replacement of the Halogen bulb by a small LED...

CCD Adapter Newly designed CCD adapters, following the ISO standard of 38mm diameter, have improved optical characteristics to enhance image reproduction quality. The appropriate adapter has to chosen in relation to the chip size of the used digital camera. The following “magnifications” are available: 1X, 0.65X and 0.5X.

Documentation Today accurate documentation is becoming an increasingly important part in most if not all natural science applications. In the new AE2000 system the end-user may choose between several different imaging options. Standard Photomicrography The traditional use of a single lens reflex camera, today mostly digital, requires the trinocular version of the AE2000. The adaptation of the camera consists of a mechanical adapter combined with a photo eyepiece (2.5X or 4X). The necessary T2 adapter referring to the camera model is supplied by the camera manufacturer. This setup delivers...
