Olympus CK40-F200 Inverted Fluorescence Microscope with Phase Contrast and Digital Imaging

The Olympus CK40-F200 is a refurbished inverted fluorescence microscope designed for precise cellular and molecular analysis in biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, and biomedical research. This optical microscope system features an objective turret loaded with Olympus Plan 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x objectives, enabling detailed imaging at multiple magnifications. The ergonomic binocular viewing head accommodates extended usage, complemented by a mechanical stage compatible with culture plates and cell culture flasks, optimized for live-cell imaging workflows.

Key technical features include:

• Phase contrast configuration for enhanced visualization of live cells without staining, critical in molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology research.
• Reflected fluorescence illumination system using the Olympus U-LH50HG lamphouse with a 50W HBO lamp powered by the dedicated U-RFLT50 power supply with an integrated hour counter.
• Fluorescence intensity adjustment via the CKX-RFA sliding filter with 10x, 20x, and 40x settings to accommodate varied experimental requirements in gene editing and bioprocessing applications.
• Olympus DP12 digital camera mounted on the upper port for high-resolution image capture and documentation, facilitating data recording in biomanufacturing and live-cell imaging studies.
• Power requirements: 220–240 V.

This instrument is widely used in synthetic biology, neuroscience, and cellular biotechnology, making it essential for molecular cloning workflows and fluorescence analysis. Its durable optical components support biopharmaceutical production pipelines, ensuring reliable performance and consistent imaging quality in demanding research environments. The included user manual supports ease of integration into existing laboratory setups.
