Bright, Fluorescence Illumination

With a super bright, 7 watt fluorescent illuminator the 3080 Series delivers excellent illumination with a long lasting (10,000 hour rated) fluorescent lamp. Light adjustment is controlled by either the disc or iris diaphragm depending upon the model that is ordered.

Mechanical Stage

Our mechanical stage is a true mechanical stage – not an attachable one – providing the user with ergonomic low position coaxial controls. As an added benefit all of our mechanical stage configurations also include an iris diaphragm giving the user even more control over making adjustments to the light settings.

Option for a 100x objective

As an option our 3080 Series can be supplied with a 100xR oil achromat objective. This requires a specific configuration with an N.A. 1.25 abbe condenser. Models with a 100x objective are supplied under our catalog numbers 3081.
