Olympus CKX53 Inverted Microscope with Phase Contrast & Fluorescence Capabilities
Product Description
The Olympus CKX53 Microscope is a compact, ergonomic inverted microscope optimized for live-cell observation in biotechnology and biomedical research. It integrates an advanced phase contrast system with a slider mechanism allowing rapid switching between brightfield, phase contrast, and fluorescence (blue-green and ultraviolet excitation) modalities, facilitating diverse cellular analyses essential for molecular diagnostics and cell culture monitoring.
Key technical features include:
- Optical system: Widefield (FN 22) trinocular observation tube set at a comfortable 45° angle, supporting camera attachment for digital imaging in biotechnology workflows.
- Objectives: Equipped with 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x lenses ideal for detailed cytological inspection and bioprocessing applications.
- Illumination: Transmitted LED illuminator for brightfield imaging and a 100W mercury lamp fluorescence illuminator; light guide illumination enhances fluorescence excitation critical in fluorescence analysis and gene editing research.
- Stage & condenser: Manual plain stage with manual ultra-long working distance condenser providing flexibility for use with varying cell culture vessels, including dishes, flasks, and microplates commonly used in synthetic biology and biomanufacturing laboratories.
- Durability: UV-resistant coating enables safe bench-top placement even during UV sterilization processes, maintaining optical integrity for sterile cell imaging workflows.
Measuring 12 × 22 × 19 inches and weighing 20 lbs, the CKX53 offers a space-efficient design suitable for crowded lab environments, delivering reliable performance critical in clinical diagnostics and biomedical engineering research settings. Its four-position manual revolving nosepiece allows ease of lens switching during microscopy sessions, enhancing efficiency in complex experimental protocols.
Widely adopted in biotechnology laboratories, the Olympus CKX53 supports essential microscopy techniques required for molecular cloning workflows and live-cell fluorescent imaging. This model is also noted for its compatibility with multiple culture containers, aligning with workflows in cell biology and tissue engineering research.
Backed by a full inspection and standard warranty from Olympus, the CKX53 is an essential tool for researchers demanding versatility and precision in optical microscopy applications.
