The Olympus CK30 Inverted Phase Contrast Tissue Culture Microscope is a robust, field-proven inverted system configured with 4x, 10x, and 20x LWD phase contrast objectives β a reliable and cost-effective solution for routine cell culture observation and tissue culture workflows. π¬ 4x brightfield, 10x, and 20x LWD phase contrast objectives covering the core tissue culture magnification range ποΈ Inverted design providing open, unrestricted access to culture dishes, flasks, and multi-well plates π 20x LWD objective for high-contrast phase contrast imaging through standard culture vessel walls π‘ Reliable, field-proven platform with a long track record in cell biology and tissue culture laboratories β Condition: Refurbished, Excellent β inspected and performance-verified π§ Product Description The Olympus CK30 is a dependable inverted phase contrast microscope with a long track record in cell biology and tissue culture research. Its inverted design places objectives below the stage, providing unrestricted access to culture dishes, flasks, and multi-well plates without disturbing living specimens. Three objectives cover the core tissue culture workflow: the 4x brightfield for wide-field specimen survey, 10x phase contrast for routine cell monitoring, and the 20x long working distance phase contrast objective for detailed cellular imaging through standard culture vessel walls. This 3-objective configuration offers an excellent balance of versatility and value, making it an ideal primary or secondary station inverted microscope for busy cell culture environments. Professionally refurbished to excellent condition, this system is ready for immediate deployment. π Typical Applications Routine cell culture monitoring and confluency assessment Cell viability and morphology observation Phase contrast imaging of unstained cells in flasks, dishes, and multi-well plates Stem cell and primary cell culture observation Primary or secondary station inverted microscopy Teaching and training in cell biology and tissue culture techniques π Key Specifications Specification Details Frame Olympus CK30 Objectives 4x Brightfield, 10x Phase Contrast, 20x Phase LWD Fluorescence Not included (phase contrast only configuration) Condition Refurbished, Excellent SKU CK30 Country of Origin Japan Weight 35 lbs University and institutional purchase orders are welcome.
