Inverted Microscope

Inverted Microscope
The Motic AE30/31 Series Provides you with Excellent optical quality and unmatched operational convenience.

Colour Corrected Infinity Optical System
The CCIS optics allows new accessories and functions to be incorporated into the AE30/31 inverted microscope.

The CCIS infinity design has succeeded in achieving longer working distance objectives with higher numerical apertures. This represents a significant development in optical performance and versatility.

The Microscope Stand
The design of the AE30/31 inverted microscopes optimally integrates all functions enabling effective ergonomics and maximum expandability.

The wide base provides strength and rigidity. In addition, the inverted "Y" support in the back of the microscope provides extra lateral stability.

The AE30/31 has been designed to meet the needs of demanding users. The size of the microscope is compact to minimize the footprint and conserve limited desk space available in modern laboratories.

The ergonomic design has made AE30/31 compatible with the manner in which you work. The coaxial coarse/fine focusing knobs, controls for the attachable mechnical stage and light intensity, are placed conveniently at your fingertips to minimize user fatigue. The ideally positioned focus knobs and stage controls make their manipulation stress free.

The Light Source
The koehler illumination system with a 6V-30W Quartz halogen lamp provides bright, even illumination at any magnification. The "only one in its class" centerable lamp is housed externally and has an externally operated mechanism for control of all facets of illumination. A segmented illumination intensity indicator is ideally located for easy viewing.

The Revolving Nosepiece
The revolving side facing nosepiece accepts five objectives. It runs on ball bearings and has internal click stops so that the image remains centered after each change in magnification.

Spill Resistant Design
Internal components and optics are sealed against accidental fluid spills. This allows the user to concentrate fully on the specimen and not to worry about accidentally damaging the microscope.
The Motic AE30/31 ensures reliable and trouble-free usage.

Observation Tubes
In order to maintain parfocality, the AE30/31 Siedentopf eyepiece tubes will not change their length when interpupillary distance adjustments are made. An inclination angle of 45° is chosen for comfort and posture management.

Stage and Accessories
The standard stage is a fixed stage plate. The stage can be widened on both sides with auxiliary stage plates. A hard coating protects the stage surface from abrasion and wear. The tempered glass stage insert allows for checking the objective being used without removing the specimen from the stage.

An optional attachable mechanical stage with low positioned coaxial controls is available. The controls are ergonomically positioned so that your hands can rest on the desk while scanning the specimen.

The object guide accepts interchangeable specimen holders: 65mm Petri dish holder (optional 35mm Petri dish holder), 54mm Petri dish holder, standard glass slides.

Eyepieces
A field of view of 22mm has now been adopted as the standard for 10X eyepieces. This enlarged field provides for faster scanning and easier viewing.

Parfocality  of focus is assured by independent diopter adjustment provided on each eyepiece.

Various graticules for measurement and counting can be used with the adjustable eyepieces.

Condenser Mount
The centerable condenser mount is height adjustable with rack and pinion and is dovetail mounted on an illuminating pillar with a clamp screw.

The ELWD condenser with a numerical aperture of 0.30 and a working distance of 72mm is suitable for objectives of magnification from 4X to 40X with an aperture diaphragm in the brightfield Koehler illumination and for phase contrast.

For easy and quick change of magnification, two annular rings on a standard non-centerable for more demanding examinations, are available.

The phase annular ring Ph1 for 10X and 20X and Ph3 for 40X are centered by Allen Hex keys on the centerable slider. The center position on each slider is designated for brightfield usage.

Objectives
The Motic CCIS objectives for inverted microscopes have long free working distances in comparison to normal objectives of the same magnification. The objectives are optically corrected to compensate for different base thickness of specimen holders and provide easy routine operation.

These objectives also make it possible to turn the objective nosepiece, even at the highest magnifications, without fear of coming into contact with the object stage.
