AUC5-293A-LCD Inverted Digital & Optical Biological Microscope
Auckland Scientific
AUC5-293A-LCD Digital Biological Microscope
High-level inverted live-cell microscopy with a supplied mechanical stage, long-working-distance phase contrast and integrated 13.3-inch 4K imaging.
Live-cell observation with a large mechanical stage
The AUC5-293A-LCD is designed for continuous observation of cultured living cells, microorganisms, bacteria and tissue cultivation. Its infinity optical system, PL10×/22mm eyepieces, 4× brightfield objective and 10×/20×/40× long-working-distance 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
Large stage with flexible X–Y control
The large stage and supplied X–Y mechanical stage support 96-well plates and culture vessels. The coaxial stage-control knob can be positioned on the left or right to suit the operator.
Apple, Android and computer compatibility
The AUC5-293A-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.
