Fluorescence Microscope (AFM-400)
The AFM-400 is a dedicated epi-fluorescence microscope designed for beginners. It features an infinity-corrected optical system and plan objectives for clear, flat images. The Seidentopf observation head, double-plate stage, and inward nosepiece reduce fatigue during long sessions. The system supports multiple observation methods and can be upgraded with phase contrast, simple polarizing, and dark field modules. Digital photomicrography allows easy image capture and sharing.

Case Study (Example Use)
A beginner biology lab installed the AFM-400 to teach students fluorescence microscopy. The clear, flat imaging of plan objectives allowed students to identify cell structures easily. Using the digital photomicrography feature, teachers shared real-time images on tablets for group discussions. The double-plate stage and ergonomic head reduced fatigue, allowing longer sessions without discomfort, making the AFM-400 ideal for learning and demonstration purposes.
