EUROStar III Plus
Purpose-Built for IIF Diagnostics

The EUROStar III Plus LED fluorescence microscope is designed for laboratories that demand precision, efficiency, and uncompromising reliability in indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) diagnostics. Unlike conventional microscopes overloaded with unnecessary, costly extras, the EUROStar III Plus is streamlined to deliver exactly what scientists, clinicians, and diagnostic labs need—high-quality fluorescence imaging with maximum ease of use.

Optimized for Digital Imaging and Workflow Efficiency

Thanks to its integrated photo tube and convenient 50/50 beam splitter, the EUROStar III Plus allows seamless switching between direct ocular observation and digital image capture. No time-consuming adjustments, no compromises in accuracy—just effortless transition. With EUROIMMUN’s EUROPicture software, users can capture, display, and manage digital images with professional precision, turning every slide into reliable, documented evidence for diagnostics or research.

Reliable, Consistent, and Environmentally Friendly Illumination

The heart of the EUROStar III Plus is its regulated LED fluorescence excitation, ensuring constant light intensity for reproducible results every time. With an impressive life span of over 50,000 hours, instant full brightness, and exceptionally low energy consumption, this LED system is not only cost-effective but also environmentally sustainable—completely mercury-free. For labs looking to upgrade existing systems, the EUROIMMUN cLED module is also available separately for use with various Zeiss microscopes.

Flexible Microscopy Capabilities for Modern Diagnostics

Standard configuration includes a halogen lamp for bright-field and dark-field microscopy, making EUROStar III Plus versatile for a wide range of applications. For more advanced diagnostic needs, the system can be easily upgraded for phase contrast microscopy, ensuring laboratories stay future-ready. This adaptability makes it a smart long-term investment for clinical laboratories, universities, and research centers.
