Frequently asked questions
What are the key advanced features?
The Unico G505 Plan Phase Microscope is engineered for high performance, incorporating several sophisticated features for superior imaging and ease of use:
- Plan Phase Contrast System: This is the core advanced feature, utilizing high-resolution, color-coded Plan Phase Objectives (10X, 20X, 40X, and 100X oil immersion). This system, along with the matching phase annuli, provides exceptional contrast for detailed viewing of living or unstained specimens.
- Precision Focusing: The low-position coaxial coarse/fine focusing system offers incredibly fine control, with fine focus graduations of just 0.002 mm. This system also includes adjustable tension control and a safety stop to protect both the objectives and the specimen.
- Koehler LED Illumination: Equipped with a built-in, high-intensity LED illuminator that provides professional Koehler illumination. This setup ensures bright, consistent, and even lighting across the field of view, controllable via a convenient rheostat.
- Heavy-Duty Mechanical Stage: The robust, graduated mechanical stage (180 mm x 150 mm) utilizes a smooth ball-bearing movement for precise specimen manipulation. The low-position coaxial controls allow for an ample 80 mm x 50 mm X-Y movement range.
- Ergonomics: The microscope is built on a rugged all-metal stand and features a comfortable 30° inclined Seidentopf head (Binocular or optional Trinocular) to reduce user fatigue during long sessions.
What high-quality objectives are included?
The Unico G505 Plan Phase Microscope is equipped with high-resolution optics, including a complete set of Plan Phase Objectives mounted on a 5-position nosepiece. These objectives are parfocal, parecentered, and color-coded for precise operation and high-quality imaging.
The included objective set is:
- 4X Brightfield
- 10X Plan Phase
- 20X Plan Phase
- 40X Plan Phase
- 100X Plan Phase (oil immersion)
Does the G505T have a camera-ready head?
Yes, the G505T model is configured with a camera-ready Trinocular Head (inclined 30°). This design is ideal for users who need to integrate digital imaging equipment for documentation, teaching, or analysis.
To complete the digital setup and utilize the trinocular port, please note that the following items must be purchased separately:
- Camera Adapter (G500-8020)
- Digital Video Camera (B6-8185)
What is the full magnification range?
The Unico G505 Plan Phase Microscope provides a comprehensive magnification range from 40X up to 1000X, making it suitable for detailed laboratory analysis.
This full range is achieved by combining the standard paired wide field 10X eyepieces with the included set of high-quality Plan Phase objectives:
- 4X Brightfield Objective: 40X total magnification
- 10X Plan Phase Objective: 100X total magnification
- 20X Plan Phase Objective: 200X total magnification
- 40X Plan Phase Objective: 400X total magnification
- 100X Oil Immersion Plan Phase Objective: 1000X total magnification
All objectives are parfocal, parecentered, and color-coded, which ensures sharp, high-resolution images and smooth transitions when changing magnification levels.
Does the Unico G505 feature high-intensity LED illumination?
The Unico G505 Plan Phase Microscope features a built-in high-intensity LED illuminator with a field diaphragm, providing Koehler-type illumination. It also includes brightness intensity control (rheostat) for optimal lighting, ensuring clear and sharp images.
What are the physical dimensions and weight?
The Unico G505 Plan Phase Microscope features a rugged, all-metal stand and a broad, low-profile base for stability.
The physical dimensions and unit weight are:
- Height: 16 inches
- Width: 6 inches
- Depth: 12 inches
- Unit Weight: 14.5 lbs.
Does the microscope have a good warranty?
The Unico G505 Plan Phase Microscope includes a 5-year limited warranty, ensuring peace of mind regarding its durability. The electrical system, however, has a 1-year warranty (excluding bulbs and fuses).
Does the microscope offer versatile power input?
The Unico G505 Plan Phase Microscope is designed for versatile use, accepting a wide power input range of 90-240 V. It also features a fuse rating of 250 V and 1.5 A for reliable operation.
Does the microscope feature a precision mechanical stage?
Yes, the Unico G505 utilizes a heavy-duty, built-in graduated mechanical stage that is specifically engineered for high precision and smooth operation.
Key features ensuring its accuracy and usability include:
- Precision Mechanism: The stage movement uses a reliable ball bearing and dovetail mechanism for exact X-Y positioning.
- Movement Range: It offers a wide, precise X-Y travel range of 80 mm x 50 mm.
- Dimensions: The stage platform measures 180 mm x 150 mm.
- Ergonomic Controls: For user convenience, movement is controlled via low position coaxial X-Y controls.
Which accessories are included?
The Unico G505 Plan Phase Microscope includes several accessories for immediate use and maintenance:
- Dust cover: Protects the instrument when not in use.
- 2 extra fuses: Provided as spares for the electrical system.
- Green filter: Included to enhance contrast when viewing specific specimens.
- Operation manual: A comprehensive guide for setup and operation.
