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. The range includes basic models for educational purposes and routine checks, alongside more advanced models for research and diagnostics, including options for special illumination and advanced optics.
Furthermore, OPTIKA offers innovative digital solutions, such as microscopes that come with a built-in tablet (like the B-290 Tablet or B-292 Tablet) or with integrated 4K cameras (like the B-510BF4K), enabling convenient and efficient documentation, measurement, and sharing.
