The Globe Scientific Delphi-X Inverso (EDI-1053-PLPHFI) is a research-grade trinocular inverted microscope built for laboratories that need phase contrast, fluorescence, and differential interference contrast (DIC) in a single instrument. With semi-apochromatic Plan Phase Fluarex Apo-PLPHFi 10x/20x/S40x IOS objectives and WF10x/25mm wide-field eyepieces, this microscope delivers color-corrected, high-resolution imaging of living cells, tissue cultures, and stained specimens in Petri dishes and culture flasks up to 1.2mm thick. Why Choose the Delphi-X Inverso Over Other Inverted Microscopes The Delphi-X Inverso occupies the top tier of the Globe Scientific microscope line. Where the Oxion Inverso (EOX-2053-PLPH) provides phase contrast imaging at a lower price point, the Delphi-X Inverso adds semi-apochromatic correction for superior color fidelity, a 6-position fluorescence filter turret for multi-channel fluorescence work, and DIC-ready optics for revealing fine structural detail in transparent specimens. The collar adjustment ring on each objective ensures perfect compensation for varying dish thickness — critical when switching between standard Petri dishes, culture flasks, and glass-bottom chambers. Optical Configuration Eyepieces: WF10x/25mm wide-field, providing a generous 25mm field of view Objectives: Semi-Apochromatic Plan Phase Fluarex Apo-PLPHFi 10x, 20x, S40x IOS with collar adjustment rings Nosepiece: 6-position revolving, accommodating the full objective set plus future additions Phase Contrast: Rotating disc for phase contrast annuli, DIC-prepared Fluorescence: 6-position filter turret (filters and cubes not included — configure for your specific fluorophores) Illumination: 10W NeoLED transmitted, adjustable intensity for gentle live-cell observation Designed for Live Cell and Tissue Culture Work Inverted microscopy keeps the optics below the specimen, allowing you to observe cells in their culture environment without removing lids or disrupting sterile conditions. The Delphi-X Inverso accommodates large culture vessels, multi-well plates, and custom chambers. The long working distance objectives clear the 1.2mm thick bottoms of standard plastic culture dishes, and the backwards-tilting condenser arm swings out of the way for easy specimen placement. Applications This microscope serves advanced cell biology research, IVF and reproductive medicine laboratories, pharmaceutical drug discovery screening, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, immunofluorescence imaging, live-cell time-lapse studies, and pathology laboratories requiring DIC observation of unstained tissue sections. The fluorescence turret supports B, G, V, and UV excitation wavelengths when equipped with the appropriate filter sets.
