This unique device comes from FRAEN in Italy. Visit: www.fraensrl.com. The photo shown is a LED module that is connected to the dust window of an upright microscope and the LED modules are fully interchangeable for the visable spectrum. Three models are offered … one with fixed intensity and another with variable intensity. A third option includes variable intensity adjust for up to three LED modules connected at one time. Older microscopes can be easily adapted to accept the LED module and usually will fit directly to the dust window below the substage condenser.

These are ideal systems for clinical fluorescence microscopy or retro-fitting your existing microscope for fluorescence. The LED is going to run for at least 30,000 hours and that translates to very efficient energy use without using a mercury arc lamp. Expected lifetime is 14 years if you use the system five days a week at 8 hours per day. This also would save you over $30,000.00 in mercury arc lamps and may play a part in cleaning up our environment while offering a very efficient solution for your fluorescence studies.

A battery pack is offered as an option and the system shown (with Motic BA300) is easily linked to a Peltier-cooled digital camera for image capture and archiving.

Typical retro-fits will be under $5000.00 — contact us for further details or a quote.

This new camera uses the latest Sony CCD and cools that sensor to 30 degrees C below ambient temperature. It is one of the only Peltier cooled digital cameras on the market with USB2 connectivity.

Modern design with c-mount fixturing allows this new camera to be used with just about any microscope with a photoport. 30fps focusing mode and 5fps at high resolution. Use in Windows with your laptop or desktop. Amazing selling price of $1999.00!! This is the perfect imaging solution for use with the FRAEN LED Fluorescence set up. A 1.3MP version is also available at $1399.00 (as shown on Motic).

See our Digital and Video Microscopy Page for details on several other new cameras and couplers … including a 9MP CMOS camera!

The Motic K400 is an ideal (and reasonably-priced) stereo microscope for use in research or the classroom. We sell a lot of this model with camera lucida (drawing device). A recent order at a USA school of art and design will now enable faculty to train their students for scientific illustration skills … and jobs in the scientific world upon graduation from art school. Here you will see a happy instructor and the classroom housing these new instruments with fiber optic illumination. If you can see it, you can draw it!

The Bunton MACROZOOM-FL is made in America. We use the fine zoom optic (12:1) from Qioptiq LINOS (formerly OPTEM) and integrate with a single cube housing that is quickly attached to any support stand via ¼-20 bolt (as shown in photo) The microscope may be equipped with low power front lenses 0.5x to 2x or you may use conventional infinity corrected objectives including water immersion type for intravital studies.

A Peltier-cooled digital camera is suggested. Bunton offers two sub-$2000 cameras and the fine digital camera products from Jenoptik and Motic may also be selected. Cameras may be used in Windows or Mac operating systems. The latest metal halide lamps with liquid light guides are offered and precision stepper motor stages may be used for sample movement and focus control via computer.

The latest stage and focus products from Marzhauser in Germany are now offered by Bunton Instrument. The photo shows the new Marzhauser EK14 stage with precision fine focus drive, optional coaxial drive shaft and FRAEN LED illumination mounted on a Motic BA 400 microscope stand. Visit www.marzhauser.com We will also represent Marzhauser’s existing manual/measuring stages and their fine family of micropositioners and micromanipulators. Contact Bunton for details and prices.

NEW SOFTWARE … to control stages and focus drives with your computer. Visit: www.objectiveimaging.com and check out the Oasis BLUE PCI card and Surveyor software.

If you want to do z-stacking and image stitching and keep the price under control, we offer the fine IMT Solution software from IMT-iSolution, Inc. from Canada/Korea. This software runs in Windows and the Jenoptik Progres cameras are supported. The IMT software also is used with the latest USB2 connected DSLR cameras from Canon … such as the Rebel Xsi DSLR with “Live View” feature. We also have a new series of special DSLR couplers to connect these cameras to your microscope without optical problems … optimized for large format sensors in the DSLR camera. Software includes measurement functions and options for motion control of the Marzhauser stage/focus drives. Visit: www.imt-digital.com Prices start at $600.00! Windows only.
