Replacement dummy illuminator cover insert for Olympus CK40 and CKX41 microscopes.
The Olympus Dummy Illuminator Cover Insert is designed specifically for the CK40 and CKX41 microscope models. This accessory slides into the back of the microscope under the nosepiece, occupying the slot typically reserved for a fluorescence illuminator. It ensures proper light path alignment and protects the internal optical components when a fluorescence illuminator is not installed. Ideal for research laboratories requiring reliable illumination management during brightfield microscopy or imaging workflows. The insert supports maintaining optimal optical performance in biotechnology applications, molecular diagnostics, and live-cell imaging setups where modular illumination configurations are necessary. Compatible with standard fluorescence microscope configurations, this dummy cover is critical for preserving microscope integrity during non-fluorescent observation periods.
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.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
