Product description

Fully motorised inverted microscope with UIS2 optics, modular deck, and Z-drift compensation for live-cell imaging.

The Olympus IX83 is a fully motorised, inverted microscope system designed to meet the diverse needs of life science researchers. Released in 2012, this advanced instrument offers exceptional flexibility and precision, making it ideal for a wide range of applications, including live-cell imaging and high-content screening.

Key features include:

  • Modular deck system: Allows easy integration of various optical components, such as magnification changers and filter turrets, enabling customisation for specific research requirements.
  • Motorised components: Features motorised fluorescence mirror turrets, fast filter wheels, and a high-precision Z-drive for automated and precise control.
  • Advanced optics: Utilises Olympus UIS2 infinity-corrected optics, delivering sharp, bright images with minimal light loss across various illumination methods.
  • Live-cell imaging support: Compatible with the Olympus ZDC Z-drift compensation system, ensuring consistent focus during long-term time-lapse experiments.
  • User-friendly interface: Equipped with a touch-panel operating system and open-access frame design, allowing researchers to tailor the microscope to their workflow.

The IX83 is widely used in fields such as cell biology, neuroscience, and biotechnology, supporting applications like live-cell imaging, fluorescence microscopy, and high-content screening. Its versatility makes it suitable for various institutions, including university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and biotechnology companies. By providing reliable, high-quality imaging, the IX83 continues to be a valuable tool in advancing scientific research.

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.
