Olympus IX71

The Olympus IX71 is a high-performance inverted microscope designed for advanced biological research, including live-cell imaging and fluorescence microscopy. Its modular design and UIS2 infinity-corrected optical system ensure high-resolution, high-contrast images across various applications.

Key features:

• Versatile imaging modalities: Supports fluorescence, phase contrast, brightfield, and differential interference contrast (DIC) techniques.
• Advanced fluorescence capabilities: Equipped with a six-position fluorescence filter turret and high signal-to-noise ratio filter cubes for bright, low-noise fluorescence imaging.
• Modular multi-port design: Features a unique two-tiered, V-shaped optical path with multiple input/output ports, allowing simultaneous access to primary images and facilitating integration with cameras and laser scan heads.
• Ergonomic and stable construction: Incorporates a highly rigid, compact frame with an external power supply to reduce heat generation, enhancing stability for prolonged observations.
• Wide range of objective lenses: Compatible with Olympus UIS2 objectives, offering magnifications from 4x to 100x, including oil immersion options for high-resolution imaging.

The Olympus IX71 is widely used in neuroscience, cell biology, oncology research, drug screening, and clinical diagnostics. Its applications include live-cell imaging, fluorescence microscopy, immunofluorescence, and phase contrast imaging of unstained cells. This microscope is commonly found in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and clinical environments. Introduced in 2002, the IX71 remains relevant and in use today, reflecting Olympus's commitment to innovation and quality in scientific instrumentation.
