The B3 Compound Microscope offers features required by more demanding microscope applications

The B3’s binocular head is inclined at 45° and can rotate 360° for comfortable viewing. The coaxial coarse and fine focus adjustments provide high precision (0.002mm) in focus adjustment. The focusable 1.25 N.A. Abbe condenser and Iris diaphragm with filter holder enable phase contrast and darkfield microscopy through the optional add-ons. Lighting is supplied through halogen illumination (12V/20W) with intensity control giving users full control over specimen illumination. Superb engineering and crystal clear optics ensure that the B3 will be a laboratory work-horse for years to come.

With built-in Koehler illumination and a standard Siedentopf head, the B3 is suitable for both educational and laboratory use. The standard achromatic super contrast (ASC) objectives provide superb image clarity and contrast. Upgrading to the optional plan achromatic objectives provides increased image flatness.
