Motic^® BA210 Basic Biological Light Microscope

Teaching and Lab Microscope

The Motic^® BA210 provides high resolution and excellent optical performance for all microscopy needs. The BA210 is designed for both educational and teaching environments from basic life sciences to medical biological applications. The BA210's standard configuration along with the newly formulated Motic^® Infinity Optics (CCIS^®), best meets the needs of the College, University, and Medical school markets. The BA210 delivers a high level of performance in education and training.

The BA210 is setting the standard in microscope performance through improvements in optical, mechanical and student proof features. The new generation of EF-N Plan Achromatic objectives provide a fully corrected intermediate image for crisp and clear visual and digital results. Whether using the powerful 6V/30W Halogen or the 3W LED light source version, light consuming contrast methods like phase contrast, polarization or darkfield microscopy are easily performed. A complete range of options and accessories are available to configure the BA210 to your application. See all options available on the BA210 Microscope Systems Diagram .

Trinocular Head

Siedentopf Observation Tube The BA210's sidentopf observation tube is designed with an ergonomic viewing angle of 30° and incorporating an interpupillary distance of 55-75mm. The BA210 observation tubes guarantee fatigue-free viewing for hours. An optional large field of view (20mm) enables fast and comfortable screening of a specimen. The trinocular tubes allow digital documentation and integration to a wide variety of digital cameras, with optional 20/80 or 0/100 light splits for the trinocular exit.

Eyepieces The standard eyepieces are made of high quality optical glass and have a high eyepoint for eyeglass wearers. The eyepieces provide consistent diopter adjustments for both eyes. This enables perfect usage of reticles for measuring, counting, etc. Standard lockable eyepieces guard against inadmissible removal.

Reversed Quadruple Turret Revolving Nosepiece The BA210 has the capability for mounting up to four quality objectives, allowing easy access to the slide. Precision positive click-stop mechanism ensures precise alignment of objectives. Objectives To improve overall optical performance of the BA210, Motic® introduces a newly designed generation of Plan Achromatic Objectives made of high quality optical glass: CCIS® EF-N Plan. These new lenses are now multilayer coated for improved contrast to enhance images even with weak slide staining. Together with a newly calculated tube lens, the result is a fully coated, perfected intermediate image without colored fringes. The trinocular BA210 gives digital access to the same for even sharper imaging and improved digital output quality for professional results at the student level. RMS thread.

 Fine/Coarse Coaxial Focusing

Coaxial fine and course focusing mechanism is precision brass manufactured using a reliable triangular rail system, with adjustable tension, providing durable operation of the microscope. The focusing range is 25mm with minimum increments of 2µm.

Condenser To ensure the perfect height adjustment of the condenser, a condenser lock is available. While using phase/darkfield sliders, the teacher can pre-set the condenser position to prevent potential student mis-adjustments.

Illumination

The BA210 introduces a new collector lens assembly with a secure, threaded holder for the frequently used blue daylight filter, which is an integral part of the illumination package. The fixed cap prevents the filter from dropping and breaking when the instrument is moved or stored. The BA210 offers multiple illumination options to use on the microscope- 6V/30W Halogen, 3W LED or mirror.

Mechanical Stage The BA210 offers an optional left/right hand control and the slide holder enables consistent sample movement across a 76x30mm range. The BA210 also offers a hard coated surface, resistant against routine usage abrasion and most lab chemicals.

Light source with integrated power supply

The universal power supply (110-240V) is integrated inside the frame for increased stability. The 6V/30W halogen lamp with intensity controls provides bright and even illumination at any magnification. Alternatively, a bright white 3W LED illumination is available.

Anti-Fungus Coating

To protect the system from fungus formation in high-humidity environments, an anti-fungus coating is used to prolong the life of both microscope and objectives.

Simple Phase Contrast Offered as an option, simple phase contrast is available for magnification 10x and 40x.

Simple Darkfield Darkfield is possible with a separate DF slider.

Simple Polarization (not applicable with LED illumination) Convenient and simple, the BA210 polarization system consists of an analyzer filter placed between the head and body; and a polarizer filter placed on top of the collector lens.

Documentation

The importance of documentation has expanded into every aspect of microscopy, as has the method of documentation. The BA210 is available with both a traditional method (photomicrography) and a digital method.

Standard Photomicrography Selecting the trinocular version of the BA210 allows the user to capture the images observed through a photomicrography system. The system consists of a mechanical adaptation combined with a photo eyepiece (2.5X or 4X) The T2 adapter referring to the camera model is supplied by the camera manufacturer. Digital Documentation The integration of the BA210 Trinocular Microscope and Moticam® series of digital cameras delivers crisp and live images. All Moticam® cameras come equipped with software to transfer the BA210 into an analysis and documentation station. With a USB2.0 output to the computer, the system provides high resolution imaging in both real time and capture modes. Should you choose a Motic® or third-party camera, Motic® provides a range of C-mount adapters which are necessary for trinocular port attachment.Another option is the BA210 digital microscope with integral 3.0 megapixel camera, listed below.

Key Improvements on BA210

• The WF10x/20 eyepieces are non-compensated, removing the yellow fringe.
• A Siedentopf Head with chromatic compensated tube lens, therefore the image at the trinocular port is also compensated.
• A new lead free and multi-layer coating EF-N Plan objectives with a new sleeve.
• New capabilities for stage movement either with the right or left hand.
• A new stage with a new slide holder. The slide holder for the BA210 has a wider slide holder fixing screw distance to fix the holder firmer. There is also a smoother surface paint and finish.
• Now comes with a condenser position lock for fixed-Koehler illumination for optimal light intensity.
• A new stage and condenser support assembly to increase the movement range for the condenser. The upper position of the condenser can be adjusted to within 1mm from the specimen to avoid formation of the ground glass image on the image plane. It also prevents the left hand control knob from getting too close to the condenser focusing knob and interfering with its operation.
• A new collector with a filter lock. The blue filter can be fixed onto the collector lens by a screw cap to protect the filter from being removed or dropped and broken during system movement.
• A new lamp module for increased light intensity and improved heat dispersion.
• Has new rubber feet with softer material to reduce vibration from the work environment.
• A new white body color giving a better impression as professional laboratory equipment with model name and a new logo.
• A new ISO adapter with a 38mm diameter.
• Many accessories are compatible with the new BA210 including 2.5x and 4x photoeyepieces, phases sliders, darkfield sliders, polarizer and analyzer, and a reflector mirror.
