Frequently asked questions
Does this kit enable phase contrast visualization?
Yes, the Unico 10X Semi-Plan Phase Kit is designed to enable phase contrast observation on compatible Unico microscopes (G380/G390 and H600 Series).
Phase contrast microscopy is a critical technique for visualizing transparent or nearly transparent specimens, such as unstained biological samples.
- The kit transforms subtle differences in light phase (caused by density variations within the specimen) into measurable differences in brightness.
- This process yields a high-contrast image, making cellular structures and fine details visible without the need for specimen staining.
Which Unico microscopes are compatible?
This 10X Semi-Plan Phase Kit is engineered for precise compatibility with specific Unico microscope models, allowing you to add Phase Contrast capabilities. It is compatible with:
- Unico G380/G390 Series Microscopes
- Unico H600 Series Microscopes
Note: When ordering, it is crucial to select the correct configuration tailored for your specific microscope series (G380/G390 or H600) to ensure seamless integration and full functionality.
Is a 1-Year warranty included?
Yes, the Unico 10X Semi-Plan Phase Kit is backed by a 1-Year warranty from the manufacturer. This warranty coverage supports the product’s Factory New condition and provides assurance for your purchase.
What Unico microscopes is this kit compatible with?
The Unico 10X Semi-Plan Phase Kit is designed to integrate with specific Unico microscope series to enable phase contrast imaging. It is essential to select the correct configuration upon ordering, as the kit is specifically compatible with two series:
- Unico G380/G390 Series Microscopes
- Unico H600 Series Microscopes
Is this Unico phase kit supplied factory new?
Yes, the Unico 10X Semi-Plan Phase Kit is supplied in Factory New condition, ensuring you receive pristine components for laboratory use. This kit is designed to convert compatible microscopes for phase contrast examination.
Key features and specifications of this accessory kit include:
- Condition: Factory New
- Magnification: 10X (Semi-Plan Phase Objective)
- Included Components: The kit contains the 10X Semi-Plan Phase Objective and the necessary 10X Slide-In Annulus Ring.
- Compatibility: It is specifically configured for use with Unico G380/G390 Series or H600 Series microscopes.
- Warranty: The kit is supported by a 1-Year warranty.
Is the phase conversion kit factory new?
Yes, the Unico 10X Semi-Plan Phase Kit is supplied in Factory New condition and includes a 1 Year warranty for assurance.
This accessory is designed to convert compatible microscopes to perform Phase Contrast imaging, which is ideal for increasing the visibility and contrast of transparent specimens.
The kit includes all necessary components:
- 10X Semi-Plan Phase Objective
- Corresponding 10X Slide-In Annulus Ring
Important: Ensure you select the correct configuration, as this kit is compatible with either the Unico G380/G390 Series or the H600 Series microscopes.
Is this a complete upgrade kit?
Yes, this kit includes both the 10X Semi-Plan Phase Objective and a matching Slide-In Annulus Ring, providing all necessary components for phase contrast microscopy.
What specialized components are in the kit?
The Unico 10X Semi-Plan Phase Kit provides the necessary components to upgrade compatible microscopes to perform Phase Contrast microscopy, which is ideal for viewing unstained, transparent biological specimens. The kit includes two essential, precision-engineered components: * 10X Semi-Plan Phase Objective: This specialized objective provides 10X magnification and integrates the phase optics. * 10X Slide-In Annulus Ring: This ring works in conjunction with the objective to create the necessary contrast for phase viewing. Please note this kit is engineered specifically for use with Unico G380/G390 Series or H600 Series microscopes.
Which samples benefit most from phase contrast?
Phase contrast microscopy, enabled by this accessory kit, is ideal for visualizing optically transparent and unstained biological specimens that are difficult to observe using standard brightfield illumination. The technique works by converting subtle phase shifts into observable differences in contrast.
This makes the technology essential for viewing:
- Live Cell Cultures: Observing cellular movement and processes without needing fixation or staining.
- Unstained Microorganisms: Enhancing the visibility of bacteria, protozoa, and other microbes.
- Transparent Tissue Slices: Revealing crucial internal structural details.
This specific kit upgrades compatible Unico microscopes by supplying the 10X Semi-Plan Phase Objective and the required Slide-In Annulus Ring for immediate phase contrast capability.
What does the 10X Slide-In Annulus Ring do?
The 10X Slide-In Annulus Ring is an essential accessory that works in conjunction with the 10X Semi-Plan Phase Objective to enable Phase Contrast microscopy.
Its functions include:
- Light Path Management: The annulus ring precisely controls the light that passes through the condenser.
- Contrast Generation: This light management creates the necessary contrast, allowing users to clearly visualize the internal structures of unstained, transparent biological specimens (such as living cells) that would otherwise be invisible under standard brightfield microscopy.
The ring is designed to easily slide into compatible Unico G380/G390 or H600 Series microscopes.
