This category features the most common and fundamental types of optical microscopes in the laboratory – the “upright” microscopes equipped with two eyepieces (binocular) or two eyepieces plus an additional port for a camera (trinocular). These microscopes are essential tools for magnified viewing of specimens placed on glass slides, used across a wide range of scientific, medical, and industrial applications.
Binocular and trinocular microscopes share a similar basic structure: a light source (usually LED or halogen) located beneath the stage illuminates the specimen through a condenser that focuses the light. The light passing through the specimen is collected and magnified by the selected objective lens, and the magnified image is transmitted through a prism system to the two oculars (eyepieces) for comfortable viewing with both eyes.
The main difference lies in documentation capability: A binocular microscope is designed solely for direct observation. A trinocular microscope includes a head with three optical outlets – two for the eyepieces and an additional third port (usually vertical) that allows the connection of a dedicated digital microscopy camera. This connection opens up extensive possibilities for capturing images and videos, sharing findings, performing measurements, and conducting computerized image analysis.
These microscopes are used for a wide variety of tests and analyses in different laboratories:
Labotal is proud to offer a wide range of binocular and trinocular microscopes from the Italian company OPTIKA, a leading and respected manufacturer in the world of microscopy. OPTIKA microscopes, such as the B-66, B-290, and B-510 series, are known for their high-quality optics that deliver sharp and bright images, reliable and durable mechanical construction, and excellent value for money.
