Product description

Relief contrast condenser with four-position turret, compatible with Olympus IX series microscopes.

The Olympus IX2-MLWCD is a specialized relief contrast condenser designed for mid-long working distance microscopy applications. It features a four-position turret equipped with three relief contrast inserts (RC1, RC2, RC3) and one open position for brightfield illumination, allowing enhanced contrast visualization without staining.

Key specifications include:

  • Compatibility with Olympus IX series microscopes, widely used in biomedical engineering and live-cell imaging applications.
  • Part number: 6-U240
  • Four-position turret supporting rapid switching between relief contrast and brightfield modalities, suitable for cell imaging and other biotechnology research fields such as molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology.
  • Designed for use in laboratories conducting microscopy work that demands clear visualization of transparent specimens with minimal sample preparation.

This condenser is essential for researchers and scientists needing precise contrast enhancement in clinical diagnostics, molecular biology workflows, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. Its compatibility with mid-long working distances makes it ideal for robust imaging setups where sample accessibility and flexibility are required.

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?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options 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.
