OPTIKA B-352PL/B-353PL COMPOUND PROFESSIONAL MICROSCOPE WITH ULTRA-BRIGHT LED & PLAN LENSES
An incredibly bright idea that’s really going places.
The Optika B-352PL microscope offers all the advantages of LED illumination with the light output of halogen, in a professional-quality system with the option to run on battery power.
Designed for use in advanced teaching situations and laboratories, we believe that the B-352PL’s unique LED illumination system is vastly superior to any other microscope in its price range - halogen or LED. It provides as much light output as a halogen but with all the advantages of LED. Because Optika’s patented Super-Bright, 5-volt LED lasts five times longer - a full 50,000 hours - and provides up to 35% higher efficiency than other manufacturers’ 3-volt LEDs. So users can enjoy a spectacular viewing experience even at the highest magnifications.
The B-352PL's light output is equivalent to a 35-watt halogen bulb. This is possible because of the Super-Bright 5v LED and Optika’s special condensing lens, precision-crafted in Europe and designed specifically for LEDs.
Best of all, the B-352PL's cordless option makes it, according to our research, the most sophisticated microscope on the market to offer this level of transportability with the ability to be run entirely off-the-grid. Using the cordless option requires 4AA Alkaline or 2300-2600 mAh rechargeable batteries (recommended). External charger
NOT included. The B-352PL will operate for two to six hours per charge, depending on use of illuminator. The B-352PL has an easy-to-use switch to change from 110/230vac power to the battery option.
The B-352PL has the option to add a phase contrast kit, which can be a huge time-saver for users whose needs require both brightfield and phase contrast capabilities. Optika also offers binocular (B-352PH) and trinocular (B-353PH) models that come with phase contrast standard. Plan Infinity models (B-352PLi and B-353PLi), as well as Metallurgical and Epi-Fluorescent models are also available, making the B-350 series incredibly versatile. Please

The B-352PL is supplied with WF10x/20mm eyepieces which accept 22mm O.D. eyepiece reticles. We offer hundreds of other reticles that are available separately.
Click here to see our huge selection. (Note: Only 10x/20mm eyepiece accepts reticles.) You will also need a 22mm eyepiece reticle retainer which can be found
here.
The B-352PL's semi ergo head comfortably accommodates users of all heights.
The quintuple nosepiece includes four plan achromatic, parfocal, parcentered objectives: 4x, 10x, 40xR and 100xR (oil immersion). A wide range of affordably-priced options, including Darkfield, Polarizing and more, make this system extraordinarily flexible.
Optical System--
The B-352PL features a 160mm standard optical system with a 20mm field diameter eyepiece included. It is supplied with WF10x/20mm eyepieces which accept 22mm O.D. eyepiece reticles. We offer hundreds of other reticles that are available separately.

Microscope Stand--
Modern and ergonomic, the stand is made from die-cast aluminum and offers a graduated double layer mechanical stage (graduated, 0.002mm) with coaxial controls, adjustable focus tension and focus stop.
Heads--
All heads are 360° rotatable and 30° inclined. The B-352PL has a binocular head; the B-353PL’s is trinocular. Both heads are equipped with interpupillary distance control. The eyepieces are designed with diopter adjustment for separate focusing for people who wear glasses.
Illuminator--
The extraordinary 5-volt LED illuminator includes variable intensity control via a rheostat on the microscope base. Users requiring the cordless options get 5v, 110v/230v white LED with variable intensity control via a rheostat on the microscope base. Requires 4AA Alkaline or 2300-2600 mAh rechargeable batteries (recommended). External charger
NOT included.
Condenser--
The N.A. 1.25 Abbe-type condenser can be centered through a double-control system and adjusted in height through a rack-and-pinion mechanism by means of control knobs located on both sides of the microscope stand. The condenser also includes an iris diaphragm with an aperture that can be adjusted through the use of a graduated reference scale.
