Designed as a basic instrument for any life-science laboratory, the AE2000 comes in three different stand types. Besides the standard Binocular and Trinocular versions, Motic offers an astonishing ergonomic solution not before offered within this class of microscope: a Binocular Ergo model. The Ergo stand allows an adaption of the viewing angle to to the personal demands of the individual user, especially useful over prolonged hours of viewing.

Each eyepiece tube allows a 360° swiveling movement as well as a flexible adjustment of the interpupillary distance between 48 and 75mm. The "butterfly mode" increases the viewing height by 40mm.

The reasonable beam split of 20:80 in the trinocular tube allows the adaptation of any digital microscope camera.

Designed with a comfortable viewing angle of 45°, all AE2000 eyepiece tubes ( Binocular, Trinocular and Ergo) offer a 20mm Field of View (FOV 20). The binocular Ergo Version gives the user the additional freedom to vary the standard viewing angle in a range of +/-15°, allowing in total a 30°-60° angle.

Motic's Infinity Corrected CCIS Optical system displays a field flatness of 20mm. The high eye point optical sytem ensure true color and sharp images, while minimizing eye fatigue and strain. The diopter adjustment of each eyepiece aids eyeglass wearers.

In addition to the standard 10X eyepieces, the AE2000 series also offers higher magnification eyepieces.

Optimized for viewer posture and easy access the convenient low positioned stage has a new hard-coated surface for easy cleaning. All standard packages contain a glass stage insert as well as a new metal insert. An orientation pin in the metal stage insert insures the moment of the objectives follow exactly the shape of the semi-circular hole in the metal stage insert, preventing damage of the front lens.

The Resolution power of a microscope is deeply depending on an optimized an optimized condenser system. Motic's AE2000 offers a clever concept to find the best compromise between working distance and illumination quality.

The dove tail mounting of the condenser allows a quick change between the two condensers. Motic's concept has one phase ring set, covering both condensers ensuring maximum flexibility. When the condenser is removed, the maximum free working distance is 184mm.

One of the first impressions of the Motic AE2000 is a significantly brighter and more evenly illuminated image. Standard packages come with a 6V30W Halogen illumination.

The AE200 also supports LED illumination by the simple replacement of the Halogen bulb by a small LED module. One of the main advantages of LED is the extreme reduction of heat development, can now be achieved for the essential study of living samples.

As a new safety precaution the AE2000 has a "sleep mode", based on an IR-sensor. This motion sensor detects a user in front of the microscope and automatically turns off the microscope when it is left for more more than 15 minutes. By returning to the instrument, the power is reactivated - effectively making the

new motic AE200 a "power-smart" microscope.

Newly designed CCD adapters, following the ISO standard of 28mm diameter, have improved optical characteristics to enhance image reproduction quality.

The appropriate adapter has to be selected in relation to the chip size of the digital camera. These "magnifications' are available: 1X, 0.65X and 0.5X.
