In this section you will find information and the technical data sheets of the individual components, which compose our packages (sets). The individual components (e.g. the dark field microscope or the camera) are available also separately in our webshop.

The dark field microscope OPTIKA B-510DK manufactured by OPTIKA has been designed for use in laboratories and especially for LBA examinations. It can be combined by adapter with SLRs or microscope cameras for the live image transmission to a monitor and for recordings.
Microscope Head Type: Trinocular observation head, inclined 30° and rotatable 360°.
Objektives: Plan-achromatic, infinity corrected objectives: 4X, 10X, 40X and 100X. The 100X-objective is an oil immersion objective with built-in iris (see image below). All objectives are treated with an anti-fungus treatment.

Condenser: This is the core part of the dark field microscope. It has an integrated high-power LED with adjustable intensity (Colour temperature: 6.300K, LED life time: ca. 50.000 hours)

For the live view and recording we offer many high resolution camera models - a selection follows below:

The ideal addition to your darkfield equipment is a high-quality and robust monitor.
All monitors offered are reflection-free (matte surface), come from reputable manufacturers such as SAMSUNG or Intehill, and are 100% tested and compatible with our cameras.
Currently, we offer both 32" and compact 13" monitors – both in UHD resolution (3840 × 2160 pixels).

With our adapters, you can connect our microscope cameras to the trinocular tube of the B-510DK darkfield microscope and thus take photos and UHD videos.
The included adapters feature either a variable focal length (0.5X adapter) or a variable length (1X adapter). This allows the image you see through the eyepieces to be matched with the image on the screen – and both can be focused sharply at the same time.
As a result, you will not need to constantly refocus (in contrast to more budget-friendly adapters) when switching between viewing through the eyepieces and viewing on the screen.

Our darkfield starter kit includes everything you need in order to operate with the darkfield microscope and start working immediately. The contained products come from reputable manufacturers. The individual products can also be purchased separately via our webshop.
The following sets are pre-configured combinations for live view and recording in darkfield. Some sets also include a compatible monitor. Find more sets and current daily prices in our webshop. Below you'll find the price ranges of our offerings for orientation. All prices listed are exclusive of VAT.

In the following video, you will see a capture through the trinocular of the OPTIKA B-510DK dark field microscope, which was recorded on our demo unit.
In the following video you can see the practical use of the HDC DF1 camera - the HDC DF4L has exactly the same functions. You'll see the mouse control mechanism, zooming, recording, comparison and playing back recorded images. This setup corresponds to the HDMI mode where no PC or software installations are required for camera control and record/playback. In this video, the camera is connected to the previous model of the B-510DK which was the B-500TDK.
Calibrating the darkfield condenser is known to be the biggest challenge for any darkfield beginner. To help you get started, the following video shows the typical condenser calibration process for the OPTIKA B510DK microscope.
