Frequently asked questions
Are high-quality Plan Phase Objectives included?
Yes, the Unico IP735 is an advanced phase microscope specifically equipped with high-quality Plan Phase Objectives to deliver crisp, clear imaging, especially for unstained specimens.
The set of objectives included is:
- 4X Plan Objective
- 10X Plan Phase Objective
- 40XR Plan Phase Objective
- 100XR Plan Phase Objective
These objectives are mounted on a precision 4-Hole Reverse Nosepiece for smooth operation.
What head configurations are available?
The Unico IP735 Advanced Plan Phase Microscope is available with two ergonomic Seidentopf head configurations:
- IP735 (Binocular Head): This standard configuration is optimized for comfortable visual observation.
- IP735T (Trinocular Head): This version is ideal for digital documentation and imaging, as it includes an 80/20 beam splitter for easy attachment of a microscopy camera.
Both the Binocular and Trinocular heads offer excellent user comfort and flexibility, featuring:
- 360° Rotation
- Adjustable Interpupillary Distance (from 55 mm to 75 mm)
- Diopter adjustment on one eye tube for precise focusing
What is the maximum magnification?
The maximum standard magnification power for the Unico IP735 microscope is 1000X.
This high magnification is achieved by pairing the standard High Eyepoint Widefield 10X/20mm eyepieces with the most powerful objective, the 100XR Plan Phase objective.
The microscope features a 4-hole reverse nosepiece and includes the following high-quality Plan and Plan Phase objectives:
- 4X Plan
- 10X Plan Phase
- 40XR Plan Phase
- 100XR Plan Phase
Does this microscope use Koehler illumination?
Yes, the Unico IP735 uses a built-in illuminator with a field diaphragm to provide Koehler Type Illumination. This sophisticated system is crucial for delivering steady, even lighting across the specimen.
You can easily control the brightness intensity using a variable intensity rheostat wheel located on the base, allowing for optimal viewing clarity and contrast.
What are the physical dimensions and weight?
The Unico IP735 is designed with a sturdy, robust framework suitable for prolonged use in professional laboratory settings. Its specific physical specifications are listed below: * Overall Dimensions (L x W x H): 10 in x 8.5 in x 15.4 in * Unit Weight: 18 lbs
What are the benefits of the Plan Phase Objectives?
The Plan Phase Objectives are a primary feature of the Unico IP735, offering specialized contrast imaging crucial for advanced biological and laboratory applications.
Phase contrast microscopy allows you to view highly transparent or translucent specimens (such as living cells, microorganisms, and tissue slices) without the need for chemical stains. This dramatically increases the visibility of structures that would otherwise be nearly invisible under standard brightfield illumination.
Key benefits of this capability include:
- Enhanced Contrast and Detail: It converts subtle differences in light phase into visible brightness variations, revealing internal structures and features of unstained samples.
- Live Specimen Viewing: By eliminating the need for toxic stains, you can observe cells and biological processes in their natural, viable state.
The microscope is equipped with the following high-quality objectives:
- Standard 4X Plan
- 10X Plan Phase
- 40XR Plan Phase
- 100XR Plan Phase (Oil immersion capability)
What essential items are included with the microscope?
The Unico IP735 Advanced Plan Phase Microscope package includes everything needed for initial use and maintenance:
- Dust Cover: To protect the instrument and optics when stored.
- Blue Filter: Used to optimize illumination and enhance contrast during observation.
- Two extra Fuses: Provided for convenient electrical maintenance.
- Operation Manual: Detailed instructions for setup, operation, and care.
What is the stage's X-Y travel range?
The Unico IP735 features a Large Heavy Duty, Built-In Mechanical Stage (180mm x 150mm platform) designed for precise specimen manipulation and user comfort. Key specifications include:
- X-Y Travel Range: 76 mm x 50 mm
- Precision: Movement is highly accurate, graduated in 0.1 mm increments.
- Controls: The stage is operated using ergonomic low coaxial controls.
Does the microscope have versatile power options?
Yes, the Unico IP735 is designed for global use with highly versatile power compatibility.
Key electrical features include:
- Wide Input Range: Compatible with electrical standards ranging from 110V-60Hz to 240V-50Hz, allowing for operation across different regions.
- Safety Approvals: Electrical parts are UL & CSA Approved, ensuring high standards of reliability and safety.
- Grounding: Includes a three-wire grounded electric cord.
Is the design ergonomic?
Yes, the Unico IP735 is specifically engineered with an ergonomic platform to minimize user fatigue, making it suitable for prolonged laboratory use. The design focuses on comfortable, low-strain operation through several features:
- Low Position Coaxial Focus System: The coarse and fine focusing knobs are positioned low for natural hand placement and reduced strain. This system also features Coarse Focus Tension Control and provides extremely precise focusing (0.002 mm graduation).
- Adjustable Seidentopf Head: The Binocular or Trinocular head rotates 360°, features diopter adjustment, and has an adjustable interpupillary distance (55-75mm) for a comfortable, personalized fit.
- Low Coaxial Stage Controls: The large, heavy-duty mechanical stage (180mm x 150mm) utilizes low coaxial controls for comfortable and precise X-Y specimen manipulation.
