The Olympus CKX41 Inverted Phase Contrast Tissue Culture Microscope is a compact, reliable inverted system built for routine cell culture observation — featuring Olympus UIS2 optic s and LWD phase contrast objectives for high-contrast imaging of living cells, configured here in a streamlined 3-objective setup. 🔬 4x brightfield, 10x, and 20x LWD phase contrast objectives for wide-field survey through detailed cell culture imaging 📷 Trinocular head with camera port for simultaneous observation and digital documentation 🧬 UIS2 optical system for high-contrast, sharp phase contrast imaging 📍 High-angle tilting head for ergonomic, comfortable viewing during routine cell checks ✅ Condition: Refurbished — includes power cord 🔧 Product Description The Olympus CKX41 is a purpose-built inverted microscope for cell culture observation, combining a compact footprint with the optical performance of Olympus's Universal Infinity System 2 (UIS2) optics. Its inverted design provides open, unrestricted access to culture dishes, flasks, and multi-well plates without disturbing living specimens. This configuration features three objectives: the 4x brightfield for wide-field specimen survey, and 10x and 20x long working distance phase contrast objectives for high-contrast imaging of unstained cells through standard culture vessel walls. The high-angle tilting trinocular head is ergonomically designed for comfortable routine visual checks, while the camera port enables straightforward digital documentation. UIS2 optics ensure sharp, high-contrast images across all magnifications. This is an excellent entry-level or secondary-station inverted microscope at a competitive price point. This unit has been professionally refurbished and ships with a power cord, ready for immediate use. 🔎 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 Secondary or satellite station inverted microscopy Digital documentation via trinocular camera port 📊 Key Specifications Specification Details Frame Olympus CKX41 Optical System UIS2 (Universal Infinity System 2) Head Trinocular with camera port (high-angle tilting) Eyepieces 10x Objectives 4x Brightfield, 10x Phase Contrast, 20x Phase LWD Fluorescence Not included (phase contrast only configuration) Accessories Included Power cord Condition Refurbished SKU CKX41 Weight 25 lbs University and institutional purchase orders are welcome.
