Designed for research

Comfort and control in every detail.

The BM-R’s large, double-way linear-drive stage can be controlled from either side and supports two slides for comparative study. Its anti-corrosive, anti-friction surface and arc-transition platform help improve durability and protect against impact.

A modular frame separates the cross arm from the main body, improving compatibility between biological and fluorescence systems. Low-position coaxial controls, adjustable tension and an upper limit stop provide accurate focusing and comfortable extended use.

Multiple trinocular light-splitting options direct light to the eyepieces, camera, or both simultaneously. Inverted- and erect-image heads are available for observation, documentation and motorized workflows.
