MikroAge | Darkfield Microscope MADF 600 – Standard darkfield microscope with advanced technology

The MADF 600 from MikroAge is a state-of-the-art darkfield microscope built from high-grade optical and mechanical components. It features wide-field eyepieces with diopter compensation for individual vision differences and adjustable interpupillary distance for optimal user adaptation. The ICS optics are infinity-corrected to ensure fatigue-free observation, even during long sessions.

Equipped with dimmable NLT LED illumination, it provides consistent, neutral white lighting and is engineered for continuous operation. With a typical service life of 50,000 hours, the LED system is highly efficient and maintenance-free. The ICO Plan Achromat objectives produce consistently sharp images, and when paired with a video camera, deliver excellent documentation results.

Protective sleeves on the 40x and 100x objectives prevent damage to both specimens and optics. The 100x oil immersion lens delivers exceptional detail resolution even at the highest magnifications – essential for live blood analysis. The device enables clear visualization of filites, neutrophil and eosinophil granules, and inclusion bodies in lymphocytes. The structure of symplasts and erythrocyte morphology, including the central dip of target cells, are rendered with precision.

The 400x and 1000x magnifications provide resolution suitable for thorough diagnostics, as described by Prof. Enderlein. Dual-sided fine focus adjustment with lock mechanism and a backlash-free XY-stage are ergonomically positioned. The darkfield condenser is removable for cleaning while maintaining its alignment.

This microscope is an advanced tool ideally suited for high-level darkfield blood diagnostics.
