Oil Darkfield Condenser
Darkfield microscopy uses refracted light to make live, unstained specimens appear with bright contrast against a dark background. By blocking the center of the brightfield of light and not allowing direct rays to enter the objective, only the outer oblique rays of light strike the specimen.
This oil darkfield condenser works with objectives up to 40x.
With the "oil" version, a drop of immersion oil is used on top of the condenser (beneath the slide), creating a perfect, air-free light path from condenser to specimen.
Simple Polarizer Kit
Only looking at crystals in urine or other fluids? The Simple Polarizing Kit for I4 microscope includes the upper Analyzer and lower Polarizer for urinalysis and other routine polarization applications.
When used properly, this two part filter set makes many things visible that under normal microscopy would remain unnoticed. From crystals in specimens to tensions in transparent structures such as glass and plastic, these adapters make a whole new realm of tests and procedures possible.
This low-cost Simple Polarizing Kit does not include the First Order Red Compensator Lens and is not suited for rheumatology applications.
i4 Gout Polarizer Kit
The Gout Kit for the i4 Microscope includes the Simple Polarizing Kit plus the First Order Red Compensating Lens (whole wave plate), which allows easy identification of the specific crystals which cause arthritis.
Gout is a type of arthritis that can occur when uric acid builds up in blood and causes joint inflammation. Gout is caused by Sodium Urate Crystals, which are needle-like with sharp edges with strong birefringence.
Pseudo-gout (rheumatoid) is caused by Calcium Pyrophosphate Dehydrate Crystals (CPPD), which are small rods, squares, or rhomboids with weak birefringence.
Utilizing a Uric Acid control slide for reference, the user can easily determine which crystals are present in the synovial fluid by observing the color shift as the First Order Red Compensating Lens is rotated.
The Gout Kit is an economical and simple alternative to a fully polarizing microscope. When used with the i4 Infinity microscope the Gout Kit is a valuable tool for identifying crystals in synovial fluid.
- Simple to use
- Works with the I4 microscope
- Fraction of the cost of a fully polarizing Rheumatology microscope
- Includes Uric Acid control slide
*If only viewing urine crystals, the Simple Polarizing Kit on this page is the best option.
Neubauer Hemacytometer
A Neubauer Hemacytometer is a counting chamber used to determine sperm concentration.
16x Eyepiece Pair
A pair of 16x Eyepieces will increase your magnification (over standard 10x) by 60%.
i4 Phase Contrast Upgrade Kit
Live, unstained, and semi-transparent specimens come into view easily with the Phase Contrast system. The path of transmitted light is altered to refract light through the specimen, creating contrast and detail on internal structures not visible in normal brightfield microscopy.
The i4 Phase Contrast Kit features 10x, 20x, 40x, and 100x Infinity PLAN Phase objectives for the highest resolution and a flat field of view. The turret condenser adjusts easily between phase, brightfield, and darkfield settings. The centering eyepiece allows the user to see the phase annulus rings for precise alignment.
The Darkfield setting works with the 10x, 20x, and 40x objectives.
