Upgradeable Live Cell Microscope Platform

Upgradeable Live Cell Microscope Platform ith the introduction of its premium AE30 Series of Inverted Microscopes, Motic joined the group of manufacturers capable of providing High-End optics, ergonomic design and craftsmanship as well as durable product quality. Motic doing so, however, all at an affordable price point. The AE 30 Series quickly became the perfect solution for all kind of routine microbiological work in clinical and pharmaceutical laboratories as well as in demanding University teaching and research environments. Designed for Routine as well as Research applications, the...

Stands Designed as an Inverted microscope series with multiple applications in mind, the AE30 is available in 3 stand variations: a Binocular and (2) different Trinocular versions - each coming with a small footprint to meet limited space conditions in modern laboratories. Also, the instrument’s “Y” shaped base provides extra lateral stability. Effective ergonomic design has been implemented in the AE30 Series to allow easy and quick access to all important functions. The focussing knobs and the controls of the attachable mechanical stage are placed conveniently at the user’s fingertips....

Eyepiece tubes For all stand types, a viewing angle of 45° is realized for comfort and posture management. The interpupillary distance can be adjusted between 55-75mm, ensuring fatigue-free observation. Besides the standard Binocular stand, the Trinocular versions come with 2 different beamsplit options. For light-sensitive methods like Fluorescence, Motic recommends the 100:0/0:100 beam split, allowing 100% of the light to pass through to the photo exit and thus simplifying imaging work especially with living samples. For standard applications like Bright field and Phase contrast, the...

With its ball-bearing mechanism, the AE30’s quintuple nosepiece Long working distance (LWD) objectives are essential for use with ensures maximum parcentration and repeatability with every all Inverted Microscopes. This lens design allows easy focussing magnification change. The side-facing orientation allows a quick through the bottom of various culture media into the nutrition view on the objective when changing manually the magnification. media, especially in cases of non-adherent cells. Further, optical compensation is designed for thick vessel bottoms of Petri dishes When dealing with...

Stage The AE30’s convenient low positioned fixed stage plate, optimized for viewer posture and easy access, has a hard coated surface resistant against abrasion and corrosion. All standard microscope packages come with both a glass and metal stage insert. The glass insert gives an easy view of the objective used. The standard stage plate of 200x260mm can be enlarged by adding a pair of auxiliary extension plates. The optional attachable x/y stage comes with a well plate holder of 128x86mm included. Inserts for all common Petri dish sizes, cell culture vessels, standard glass slides and...

Condenser The standard condenser of Motic’s AE30 Series has a working distance of 72mm, giving sufficient working space for most vessels. It can be adjusted in height by a brass rack and pinion system. This material ensures a long life time and precise movement. Together with the field diaphragm located in the illumination arm, Koehler illumination is easily set up. The phase ring slider carries 2 phase rings (Ph1 for 10X/20X; Ph3 for 40X) as well as a bright field position. All Phase lenses are therefore covered with one Phase ring set. Adjustment of the phase rings is performed by 2 Allen...

Built-in field diaphragm Filter holder Knobs for centering the condenser Illumination The AE30’s 6V/30W Halogen light source provides a bright and even illuminated image at any magnification. Its centerable lamp house can be adjusted by external knobs without any special tool. The illuminated field can be varied by a built-in field diaphragm; while a filter holder may carry different glass filters for colour temperature adjustments or other imaging requirements. Together with the condenser system, perfect Koehler illumination setup can be performed.

Fluorescence The modular concept of the AE30 Series allows an easy upgrade to an EPI-Fluorescence microscope by using the fluorescence attachment. This slider-device may carry up to 3 filter cubes. The optional Fluorescence package consists of: Fluorescence attachment with 3 filter positions XBE-HBO 100W lamp house with mirror for improved brightness Starter unit A complete range of filter cubes is available, covering all routine applications from UV to NIR excitation. Supplied with band pass barrier filters, multi colour applications can also be performed. Specialized filter combinations...

Standard filters of the price list: The newly designed XBE-HBO lamp house with improved light management offers a more powerful excitation, resulting in brighter signals. In combination with a Moticam Pro Digital camera, excellent images are ensured. Designed for improved contrast and high resolution, Motic recommends also the Plan Fluorite objective series for weaker fluorescence signals. Higher Numerical apertures lead to brighter fluorescence signals and easier documentation, but working distances are shorter than conventional LWD objective types. Petri dishes with 0.17mm glass bottoms...

Documentation Today accurate image documentation is becoming an increasingly important part in most, if not all, natural science applications With the AE30 Series the end-user may choose between several different imaging options CCD Adapter Based on the chip size of the C (CS)-mount camera in use, and the desired field of screen display, Motic has developed a series of video adapters for the AE30 Series. From 0,5X to 1X: the customer may follow his preference for Field of Display or Resolution. The smaller the adapter’s factor (0,5X < 0,65X < 1X), the larger the displayed field. At the same...
