COLO.SCIENCE – OPTIC102BL (ECONOMICAL ROUTINE PERFORMANCE)
Why OPTIC102BL is an economical microscope with excellent routine performance
The OPTIC102BL binocular biological microscope is built for everyday brightfield microscopy where reliability and cost control matter.
It is a strong fit for routine laboratory work, veterinary labs, education and general inspection tasks that require stable mechanics and repeatable illumination.
Compared with halogen variants, the LED illumination offers lower heat load, fast start-up and long service life, helping reduce total operating costs while maintaining comfortable observation conditions.
The microscope uses an Infinity independent plan achromatic optical system (F=200 mm) for clear images across the field of view.
Key strengths (short)
- LED illumination for low running cost and long lifetime.
- Koehler illumination workflow for uniform, repeatable lighting.
- Binocular Siedentopf head (30° inclined, 360° rotatable, diopter adjustable).
- Abbe condenser NA 0.9/1.25 with iris diaphragm and filter holder.
- Coaxial mechanical stage with 0.1 mm division; holds 1–2 slides.
Typical users
- Routine labs looking for an economical microscope that still performs.
- Veterinary laboratories and clinics (daily microscopy, teaching).
- Education and training labs (stable viewing and low maintenance).
- Sites planning options later (phase contrast, darkfield) depending on configuration.
PRACTICAL USE & CHECKLISTS
Routine workflow (fast)
Set IPD/diopter, focus at low magnification, then optimize condenser height and iris diaphragm for contrast. With LED illumination, you get stable brightness without warm-up time in routine sessions.
For labs that must standardize images between operators, keep a simple SOP: same condenser position + iris setting per objective, and consistent slide thickness/cover slip practice.
COLO.Science & equipment
At COLO.Science, routine microscope bundles are positioned for fast deployment: clear specification, correct configuration options, and low total cost of ownership for everyday lab work.
If you need a camera-ready unit, consider a trinocular variant of OPTIC102 with C-mount adapters as an option.
