Olympus CKX41 Inverted Phase Contrast Microscope with UIS2 Infinity Optics and Trinocular Head
Product Description
The Olympus CKX41 Inverted Phase Contrast Microscope is designed for routine live-cell imaging and cell culture observation, featuring advanced UIS2/UIS infinity optics with a pre-centered phase contrast setup for consistent, high-contrast images. Its inverted optical design supports the examination of culture vessels and plates without adjusting the stage position, ideal for biomedical engineering and molecular biology workflows.
Key technical specifications include:
- Optical system: UIS2 infinity optical system optimized for phase contrast microscopy, ensuring sharp imaging quality essential for fluorescence analysis and cell imaging.
- Illumination: Built-in Koehler transmitted illumination powered by a 30W halogen bulb (6V30WHAL), with frosted and heat-absorbing filters for stable, bright light.
- Focusing mechanism: Vertical movement focusing via revolving nosepiece, maintaining stage stability with coarse and fine adjustment knobs featuring tension control. Stroke per rotation provides 7 mm upward and 2 mm downward travel for precise focusing.
- Working distance: Ultra-long working distance condenser NA0.30 W.D. 72 mm supports various sample containers in live-cell and biotechnology applications.
- Ergonomics: Tilting trinocular head enables comfortable observation and supports camera attachment for digital imaging and documentation, crucial for clinical diagnostics and bioprocessing documentation.
- Footprint and dimensions: Compact bench footprint measuring 12″x21″x20″ (WxDxH), weighing approximately 21 lbs, suitable for standard lab benches in cell biology and synthetic biology research environments.
- Power requirements: Operates at 115V, 50/60Hz, compatible with common lab power standards.
This microscope is widely used in molecular diagnostics, biopharmaceutical production pipelines, and live-cell monitoring, making it a reliable tool for biotechnology professionals requiring stable phase contrast imaging in routine laboratory workflows. Its straightforward operation and stable optical configuration make it ideal for daily use in research, clinical, and teaching laboratories focused on cell morphology and culture viability assessment.
