Motic AE2000 Inverted Phase Contrast Microscope with Halogen Illumination

The Motic AE2000 is a refurbished inverted microscope optimized for live-cell imaging and analysis of culture plates, widely used in cellular biology, molecular diagnostics, and biomedical research. It features:

• Koehler illumination with a 6V 30W halogen lamp for uniform transmitted light critical in phase contrast microscopy.
• Plan achromatic objectives: 4X/0.10 PH, 10X/0.25 PH, Long Working Distance (LWD) 20X/0.40 PH and 40X/0.50 PH, supporting detailed observation of live samples and tissue cultures.
• Widefield 10X/22 mm eyepiece delivering clear, sharp images essential for precise cell imaging workflows.
• A mechanical stage designed to accommodate Petri dishes (35, 50, 54 mm) and standard microscope slides, supporting various bioprocessing and synthetic biology sample formats.
• A quadruple inverted revolving nosepiece, enabling rapid objective changes to facilitate multi-magnification workflows in molecular biology and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
• Phase contrast condenser optimized for 4X, 10X, 20X, and 40X objectives to enhance contrast without staining, crucial for non-invasive live-cell observation.
• Integrated blue and green matte filters to adjust illumination and improve visualization of transparent biological samples.
• Voltage range of 85-230V and compact dimensions (54x33x53 cm) with a weight of 11 kg, ensuring stable operation in various lab environments.

This microscope supports critical applications in biotechnology fields such as gene editing research and cell culture analysis, providing reliable, high-contrast imaging for molecular diagnostics and live-cell studies. Its inverted configuration minimizes contamination risk by allowing observation from below, making it ideal for sterile biomanufacturing environments and advanced synthetic biology research.
