• Infinitely variable light intensity
• True height and image rendition
• Field of view: 23 mm
• Exchangeable condensers for contrast sliders or with built-in modular disk, 0.55, 0.4 or 0.3 numerical
apertures
• VAREL (variable relief contrast) with continuous transition from oblique bright field to one-sided dark
field, contrasting of microtiter plate cavities up to the edge
• PlasDIC for relief-like rendition, notably of thick objects, with variable contrasting from oblique bright
field to one-sided dark field; contrasting of microtiter plate cavities up to the edge
• Ph - the classical phase contrast according to Zernicke
• iHMC for relief-like rendition with variable contrasting; contrasting of microtiter plate cavities up to
the edge
• DIC - differential interference contrast
• Reflected light fluorescence contrast as an alternative to or simultaneous with transmitted light
contrasts
• It is possible to adapt reflected light fluorescence to the application task concerned by changing the
fluorescence filter combination (reflector module FL).
