AUC5-253 / AUC5-254 LCD Digital & Optical Biological Microscopes – 13.3″ 4K Display
Auckland Scientific
AUC5-253/254-LCD Digital Biological Microscope
Two ergonomic infinity optical microscopes with rackless stages, anti-mould optics and integrated 13.3-inch 4K digital imaging.
Reliable infinity microscopy with two levels of illumination control
The AUC5-253-LCD and AUC5-254-LCD combine the NIS infinity optical system with ergonomic trinocular microscope frames. WF10×/20mm eyepieces and infinite semi-plan achromatic objectives provide clear, high-contrast images across a 20mm field of view.
Both variants incorporate a 13.3-inch Full HD display and Sony IMX678 camera. Capture 8MP still images, record 4K video and perform measurements using mouse control. HDMI 2.0, USB 2.0 and Wi-Fi support teaching, documentation and collaborative viewing, with compatible Apple, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux workflows.
