Olympus IX81 Inverted Fluorescence Motorized Microscope with Motorized XY Stage and Z-Axis Drive
Product Description
The Olympus IX81 Inverted Fluorescence Motorized Microscope is a versatile, fully automated microscopy system tailored for advanced fluorescence imaging and multi-dimensional live-cell experiments. It incorporates Olympus’s UIS2 optical system for superior image clarity, high contrast, and efficient light transmission, making it essential for biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and bioprocessing research.
Key features include:
-
Motorized components:
- 6-position motorized filter cube turret with three brand-new fluorescence filter sets (DAPI, FITC/EGFP, TRITC/Cy3, Texas Red, Cy5 options) compatible with a variety of fluorochromes for multiplex fluorescence imaging vital to gene editing and synthetic biology applications.
- Motorized 6-position objective turret with a range of UplanFL objectives (4x, 10x, 20x, 40x) enabling magnifications from 40x up to 1000x for detailed cellular and subcellular imaging important in molecular cloning workflows.
- Motorized XY stage and motorized Z-axis drive designed for automated sample positioning and fine/coarse focus control, supporting multi-position, multi-slice (Z-stacking), and time-lapse imaging essential in live-cell imaging and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
-
Illumination:
- Fluorescence light source: EXFO 120 Metal Halide with collimating adapter and light guide, optimized for fluorescence intensity uniformity and spectral fidelity.
- Brightfield illumination: Olympus 100W halogen lamp with integrated power supply.
-
Optical configuration:
- Inverted microscope base with side camera port for enhanced imaging flexibility.
- Binocular head with dual eyepieces and 1x C-mount adapter for camera integration.
-
Imaging capabilities:
- Included Bestscope 8.3MP color CMOS camera supports high-resolution fluorescence image capture.
- Software compatibility with open-source Micromanager and ImageJ for image acquisition, annotation, calibration, and quantitative analysis supporting applications such as synthetic biology research and molecular diagnostics.
- Multi-dimensional imaging supporting time-lapse studies, Z-stacking, and XY stitching for comprehensive spatial and temporal data acquisition.
-
Customization options:
- Additional microscopy modes (Phase Contrast, DIC, Polarization) can be integrated to enhance contrast in unstained specimens, enriching cellular biology and developmental studies.
- Upgrades available for high-performance light sources (LED, Xenon) and advanced cameras (CCD, sCMOS, EMCCD) to improve sensitivity and image resolution required for cutting-edge biotechnology research.
- Expanded motorized automation including high-speed shutters and alternative sample stages for multi-slide or microplate high-throughput screening, critical for pharmacology and biomanufacturing workflows.
This microscope is widely adopted in biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, and pharmaceutical research laboratories for its automated operation, fluorescence versatility, and modular design, making it invaluable for complex experimental protocols including live-cell imaging, fluorescence analysis, and quantitative microscopy.
The Olympus IX81 supports advanced research fields such as neuroscience, cellular imaging, synthetic biology, and gene editing, providing researchers with precise control over imaging parameters and sample handling to optimize data quality and throughput. Its extensive motorization and fluorescence filter options make it an indispensable tool for bioprocessing and molecular biology labs aiming to streamline workflow efficiency and maintain reproducible imaging results.
A comprehensive 180-day continental USA warranty and 60-day international warranty accompany the microscope, along with expert technical consultation, remote training sessions, and software overview to ensure seamless integration into your laboratory environment.
