Product description

High-performance IOS IM-3 inverted phase contrast microscope with 400x magnification and X-LED8 illumination for live-cell imaging.

The IOS IM-3 Inverted Phase Contrast Microscope is engineered for advanced live-cell imaging and routine cell culture inspections. Featuring a 400x maximum magnification and LWD PLAN optics, it enables precise visualization of living cells and tissues under natural conditions within culture flasks or large containers.

Key technical specifications and features include:

  • X-LED8 illumination system: A proprietary LED lighting technology doubling light intensity while maintaining a stable pure-white color temperature, critical for consistent fluorescence analysis and molecular diagnostics workflows.
  • Inverted microscope configuration: Facilitates observation of cells at the bottom of vessels, essential for biotechnology applications such as bioprocessing and gene editing research.
  • Large Specimen View with 22 mm Field Number (F.O.V.): Provides a wide viewing area for efficient scanning of samples, improving workflow efficiency in biomedical engineering and clinical diagnostics laboratories.
  • Stable optical alignment and smooth, accurate mechanical movements: Support reproducible imaging and enhance operational reliability in synthetic biology and biomanufacturing research environments.

The IOS IM-3 model is widely adopted among molecular biology researchers and is instrumental in essential molecular cloning workflows and live-cell phase contrast microscopy in biotechnology and clinical research fields. The combination of advanced illumination and ergonomic design makes it a pivotal tool for laboratories focused on cell imaging and fluorescence-based investigations.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
