RPC – Relief Phase Contrast

RPC system is designed to increase visibility and contrast in unstained and living material by detecting optical gradients (or slopes) and converting them into variations of light intensity. Typical applications are transparent specimens, bacteria, tissue culture work, spermatozoa, cells in glass containers, protozoa, mites, fibers, etc.
When viewed under modulation contrast optics, transparent objects that are essentially invisible in ordinary brightfield microscopy take on an apparent three-dimensional appearance dictated by phase gradients in the specimen. There are also no halos exhibited in the image, unlike the images produced with phase contrast optics.
RPC is recommended over DIC technique in case of specimens like crystals (with effects upon polarized light), or contained in specimen carriers such as plastic culture vessels, Petri dishes, etc.

Multiple Observation Methods

IM-3 Series Inverted microscopes are useful for observing living cells or organisms at the bottom of a large container (e.g., a tissue culture flask) under more natural conditions than on a glass slide, as it occurs with a conventional microscope. IM-3 Series is engineered and designed to be your ideal solution for fast and reliable routine inspections, with the exclusive, state-of-the-art X-LED 8 illumination system. A particularly simple and ingenious optical design allows stable alignments and smooth and accurate movements. OPTIKA provides different configurations, including innovative LED fluorescence technology for a new, enhanced experience.
X-LED 8 Exclusive Lighting Source
Special technology is able to double the light intensity for incomparable performance, ensuring constant pure-white color temperature (6,300K color temperature).
Relevant money and energy saving thanks to the incredibly low energy consumption which allows you to cut the electricity bills by 90%!
The electric consumption (8 W only) proves the high efficiency of this system: incredibly high light intensity combined with low consumption. Large Specimen View (22 mm Field Number) The F.O.V. (field of view) is based on a comfortable diameter of 22 mm.
This means that an extra wide area of the sample can be inspected and allows a natural and easy view, particularly needed in a laboratory environment.

In fluorescence, we can offer several options.
According to your application and to the fluorochromes you are using, we can help you to identify the best light source.
