01

 

MICRON LEVEL MEASUREMENT ACCURACY 
The HD1500MET is capable of delivering measurements with a resolution of 10 nanometers which provides an incredible metrology capability in the most demanding situations.

02

MEASUREMENT FOR VARIOUS APPLICATIONS
In addition µm, the HD1500MET also provides calibrations in mm and cm, which will meet various measurement requirements in different applications. And these results provide objective and reliable data to support quantitative analysis.

03

CONVENIENT MEASUREMENT DATA MANAGEMENT
Two measurement results exporting modes (Excel and text) make the measurement data management more convenient.

03

30FPS HIGH SPEED LIVE IMAGE
With 30fps data transfer at an uncompressed resolution of 1920X1080, sets a precedent. It is one of the fastest USB2.0 cameras in the world.

05

EXCELLENT CAPABILITY FOR FLUORESCENCE
Taking advantage of the ultra high signal to noise ratio sensor, the HD1500MET provides for up to 10 seconds exposure time and gets finest detailed images, even for low light fluorescence.

06

Brightfield:
The simplest of all the optical microscopy illumination techniques. Sample illumination is transmitted (i.e., illuminated from below and observed from above) white light and contrast in the sample is caused by absorbance of some of the transmitted light in dense areas of the sample. Brightfield microscopy is the simplest of a range of techniques used for illumination of samples in light microscopes and its simplicity makes it a popular technique. The typical appearance of a brightfield microscopy image is a dark sample on a bright background.

The TC-5100 & TC-5200 Series inverted biological microscopes have been designed to be versatile, modular, ergonomic, system ideal for use in research, educational and clinic applications. The TC-5100 & TC-5200 Series are well suited for wide variety of routine examination of tissue culture, precipitates and high resolution video microscopy.

The TC-5100 & TC-5200 Series microscopes deliver crisp, distortion-free, high resolution images in multiple modes of operation. A wide range of components, objectives and contrasting methods are available to suit your specific application. Available models are Brightfield, Phase Contrast or Epi-Fluorescence in the TC-5000 Series.
