Paralens gives microscopes fluorescence abilities
QBC Europe
QBC Paralens
QBC Europe is offering the QBC Paralens in three formats and is about to introduce the QBC Paralens Solar Kit.
The QBC Paralens system converts a standard microscope into a fluorescence microscope, as cheaply and as easily as changing an objective; this enables fast, accurate detection and quantification of malaria, tuberculosis, trypanosomes and other blood-borne parasites.
Two versions of the standard QBC Paralens System are now available, both of which come in a portable carrying case and include a light source, power pack, paraviewer, workstation, starter kit, manual, oil and screwdriver.
The 424277 Paralens System has a Paralume light source while the 424280 has an Optilume light source.
The full Paralens System can now also come packaged with the Vision MRJ-03L cordless microscope.
The 424290 is a Paralens System with Optilume light source and MRJ-03L cordless microscope.
The MRJ-03L features a 30-degree inclined binocular Seidentopf head that can be rotated by 360-degrees; a pair of 10X widefield eyepieces; four DIN achromatic parfocal and parcentered objectives: 4X (NA 0.10), 10X (NA 0.25), 40X (NA 0.65), 60XR (NA 0.90), 100XR Oil (NA 1.25); magnification of 40 to 1000X; 120 x 125mm mechanical stage coaxial drive/rack and pinion adjustment; Abbe condenser NA 1.25; iris diaphragm with filter holder, including blue filter; a field diaphragm that offers more light control; coaxial coarse and fine focusing and low knob-position; variable intensity halogen illuminator, 6V 20W; and replacement bulb, fuse and immersion oil.
It measures 16.5 x 21 x 38.1cm and weighs 4.8kg.
It is CE certified.
