TLB3000: Fiber Optic Substage Illumination Stand for Stereomicroscope

TLB3000: Fiber Optic Substage Illumination Stand for Stereomicroscope
The TLB3000's large work area and sliding/tilting mirror make it an economical and versatile choice for general brightfield use or for any study of relatively transparent specimens such as entomology or in-vitro fertilization.

Illumination for the TLB3000 is provided by a 150 watt halogen illuminator and fiber optic bundle. The condensing lens at the end of the bundle allows adjustment between intensity and field of illumination.

One of the outstanding qualities of the TLB series is the range of mirror motion. In addition to its tilting capability the mirror is mounted in a slot for front to back positioning. This allows for variable illumination from brightfield to darkfield, making the observation of low contrast specimens easy. Also included are a drop-in ground glass for increased NA at high magnification and an opal glass for low magnification ultra-uniform illumination. Epi-illumination can be provided with the addition of the optional Volpi fiber optic illuminator.

These stands support most microscope models making them a perfect replacement for inexpensive original equipment bases or as a base for orphaned stereo microscope heads.
The TLB3000 base can be purchased by itself with a Volpi fiber optic illuminator, or as a full imaging system. This system includes: SPOT camera with software, TLB base, Zeiss stereo microscope, and Volpi fiber optic illuminator.
