Auckland Scientific
AUC5-291-LCD Digital Biological Microscope
High-level inverted live-cell microscopy with long-working-distance phase contrast, intelligent ECO illumination and integrated 13.3-inch 4K imaging.
Live-cell observation with integrated 4K imaging
The AUC5-291-LCD is designed for observing cultured living cells, tissues, microorganisms and bacteria in medical, university and research laboratories. Its colour-corrected infinity optical system, PL10×/22mm eyepieces and long-working-distance positive phase-contrast objectives provide clear imaging through culture vessels.
Its all-in-one digital system incorporates 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 outputs support teaching, documentation and collaborative viewing. Dedicated applications support wireless viewing on compatible Apple iPhone, iPad and Android devices, while Windows, macOS and Linux computer platforms are also supported.
Key features
Designed for cultured living cells
The long-working-distance condenser and positive phase-contrast objectives support observation through culture vessels. Optional mechanical stages and holders accommodate Petri dishes, glass slides, Terasaki plates and other specimen formats.
Apple, Android and computer compatibility
The AUC5-291-LCD can be used as a completely self-contained microscope through its integrated 13.3-inch display, so a separate phone, tablet or computer is not required.
Connection note: Smartphone and tablet connectivity uses Wi-Fi. A compatible 5GHz USB Wi-Fi adapter may be required depending on the supplied configuration. Direct USB connection to an iPhone or iPad is not specified.
