Product Description
  • Guide rail heights are available in 350 mm, 400 mm, 500 mm, and 600 mm options.
  • The main frame is available with or without an epi-illumination arm. The main frame with an epi-illumination arm features a D1N female dovetail slot, with the slot center located 196.5mm from the edge of the guide rail. The main frame without an epi-illumination arm offers a larger installation space on top of the guide rail.
  • The guide rail has a 95mm wide linear dovetail mounting surface, allowing flexible module installation at any position along the rail.
The microscope main frame serves as the foundation for the entire modular self-assembled imaging setup, primarily consisting of a vertical support rail. The rail is available in four height options: 350 mm, 400 mm, 500 mm, and 600 mm. Each side of the rail features a 95 mm wide dovetail mounting surface, allowing for the installation of microscope modules from our self-assembled microscopy system. These microscope main frames are based on LBTEK's 95 mm optical construction rails, providing long-term stable support and excellent vibration damping. Additionally, they are precision-machined to ensure perpendicular alignment with the microscope stage. The microscope main frame is available with or without an epi-illumination arm. Each epi-illumination arm has a D1N female dovetail slot on top for mounting our wide-field observation and epi-illumination components. The optical path is positioned 196.5 mm from the edge of the rail, offering a very large working space below. For applications requiring more space on the top surface of the rail, we offer a 500 mm main frame without an epi-illumination arm. Each main frame includes a pre-installed mounting base with countersunk holes for mounting the main frame.

Microscope main stand, without epi-illumination arm
  • 95 mm wide linear dovetail mounting surface guide rail for flexible installation of microscopic DIY modules
  • The absence of an epi-illumination arm creates additional space on top of the main bracket
  • The mounting base at the bottom of the bracket features M6 countersunk holes

 LBTEK's microscope main body stand without epi-illumination arm is based on a 95 mm optical construction rail, providing long-term stable support and excellent vibration damping. The top area of the microscope main body stand (without epi-illumination arm) offers additional space to support the addition of other DIY compatible modules, making it widely applicable in imaging scenarios. The main body stand includes a mounting base with M6 countersunk holes, which can be fixed to an optical table or breadboard using the included M6 socket head cap screws.

The rail height of this main body stand is 500 mm, and it features the same 95 mm wide linear dovetail mounting surface rail as the microscope main body stand with epi-illumination arm sold by our company.

Microscope Main Body Bracket With Epi-Illumination Arms
  • 95 mm wide linear dovetail mounting surface for flexible installation of microscope modules
  • Female dovetail slot included
  • Mounting base features M6 countersunk holes

The LBTEK Microscope Main Body Bracket With Epi-Illumination Arm is based on a 95 mm optical construction rail, providing long-term stable support and excellent vibration damping. The top of the illumination arm features a female dovetail slot positioned at a 196.5 mm optical path from the rail edge, offering a large working space below, while the bottom has four M3 threaded holes for a 60 mm coaxial system. Additionally, there is a magnetic coupling bellows that creates a light-tight optical path for the objective mount. The length of this bellows can be adjusted within a range of 20 mm to 100 mm. The main body bracket includes a mounting base with M6 countersunk holes, which can be secured to an optical table or breadboard using the included M6 socket head cap screws.

The TBB35 male dovetail is installed into the female dovetail slot of the MSB400.
