Intended Use
The Primovert microscopes are universally applicable light microscopes of inverted design (inverted
microscopes). They are primarily used to examine cell and tissue cultures as well as sediments in culture
flasks, Petri dishes and microtiter plates.
Typical applications (examples):
Observation of intracellular processes on living cell cultures, cell-cell interactions, motility, growth,
examination of blood and tissue samples from the human body.
When handling hazardous substances, observe the instructions on intended operation, correct use and
statutory safety precautions.

Instrument Description and Main Features
The Primovert microscopes are inverted transmitted-light microscopes of compact design with a small
footprint.
The user can choose from among five types of stands for the brightfield and phase contrast in
transmitted light microscopic techniques.
−
Stand-type Primovert with binocular tube
−
Stand-type Primovert Photo with binocular phototube for photo and video documentation
−
Stand-type Primovert Ergo with binocular ergotube, continuous angle adjustment from 30° to 60°
−
Stand-type Primovert HDcam with integrated HD IP CMOS camera and various interfaces and setting
options
−
Stand-type Primovert iLED with integrated LED-fluorescence unit (one channel) and binocular
phototube
Important features of the microscope are:
−
Stand equipped with a binocular tube or a binocular phototube (50 % vis, 50 % doc) with an
ergonomically favorable tube angle of 45°. The binocular part can be tilted upward and downward
and adapted to the individual eye distance. As there is an upper and lower binocular part position, the
user can choose between two viewing heights.
−
Stand equipped with an ergotube with variable tube angle, continuously tiltable in the range from
30° to 60°; the binocular part can be tilted upward and downward and adapted to the individual eye
distance.
−
Illumination either by a 6 V / 30 W halogen lamp insert or an LED.
−
Continuously adjustable illumination intensity.
−
Blue light-intensity indicators installed on both sides, which are visible from a distance.
−
External plug-in power unit with cable (incl. cable with multiple plug and country-specific plug inserts).
−
Plastic-coated carrying handle integrated in the stand for setting up, demounting and transporting the
device.
−
Convenient coaxial coarse and fine focusing drive; adjustable torque of coarse focusing drive.
−
Fixed specimen stage suitable for inserting metal or glass plates and attaching the stage enlargement
plates and the specimen guide.
