Ergonom 4000 Series

High Definition Scope in Vivo, in Vitro, in Situ

The ERGONOM-400 Series of high definition optical microscopes provide superior images of cells, tissues, organs and whole preparations in vivo, in vitro and in situ. The major strength of these instruments are their ability to deal with preparations that are difficult with conventional microscopes, such as whole-mounted preparations, living unstained cells, and living organ cultures.

Offering extremely high optical resolutions in both incident (<100nm) and transmitted light (<100nm) in true color and full contrast. Ideal for life sciences, the Ergonom microscopes allows prolonged observation of biological samples in their living state without any staining or immersion oil. Ideal for medical and pharmaceutical research, this microscope allows you to view specimens within seconds. Clinics using such microscopes have reported a significant reduction in research time due to the ability to see the reactions of living tissue in- vitro to various medicines which can also significantly reduce the need for animal testing. We recommend the use of our range of heated Olbrich chambers with self sealing openings to allow nutrients and drugs to be injected into it as required. Our unique illumination system does not heat the sample beyond 5°C (typically 2°C) and contains no damaging rays - ideal for long term observation of living samples. Our system is entirely optical using natural colors and does not require any computer imaging or processing systems.

Built entirely to Kurt Olbrich's exacting specifications, this allows the microscope to be built to the very highest precision using components almost entirely designed and built in Germany. Only the very best quality components are used to allow our microscopes to achieve the high optical standards needed to reach such high resolutions.

• Operates at room temperature for maximum flexibility
• Uses unstained samples to avoid damage and false observations
• Non-destructive technique enables living objects to be observed
• Extended Depth of field adjustable to penetrate deep samples
• Full natural color images for detailed analysis at all magnifications
• Full contrast images without staining even with tranparent samplesEffective alternative to scanning electron microscope
• High true optical resolution <100nm incident, <100nm Transmitted
• No messy oil immersion required, objectives remain dry
  

The Ergonom 4000- (Universal) is the our top of the range flagship microscope for both incident and tranmitted light when the very highest resolutions and magnifications are required in real time and with true unstained colors.

The Ergonom 4000-I (Incident) is like the 4000- U model, yet designed for incident light only. It is NOT possible to add transmitted light capability at a later date. Ideal for imaging electronic wafers, plastics, metallurgy, etc. not requiring transmitted light.

The Ergonom 4000-T (Transmitted) is like the 4000- U model, yet designed for transmitted light only. It is NOT possible to add incident light capability at a later date. Ideal for imaging biological samples, etc. not requiring incident light.

The Ergonom 4000 series of microscopes are available in a wide range of configurations and prices to match your exact needs. Built in a modular way, it is possible to add a wide range of additional features as your requirements and budget allow. As we are a small company, each Ergonom microscope is tailor made to your needs and budget while allowing for future upgrades as required.
