The Olympus IX51 Inverted Fluorescence & Phase Contrast Tissue Culture Microscope is a compact, fully configured research-grade inverted system delivering exceptional performance for live cell imaging, multicolor fluorescence, and routine tissue culture observation. π¬ 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x Plan Fluor objectives including LWD phase contrast optics with correction collars π‘ 100W mercury fluorescence illumination with 6-cube turret and vertical illuminator π Three fluorescence filter cubes included: Blue (DAPI), Green (TRITC), and UV (DAPI) π· Left side camera port for seamless digital imaging integration π§« ULWD condenser with phase inserts and XY mechanical stage for precise specimen navigation β Condition: Excellent β complete with mercury bulb, halogen bulb, UV guard, instruction manual, power cords, and dust cover π§ Product Description The Olympus IX51 is a stable, compact inverted microscope platform that delivers research-grade optical performance with practical convenience and excellent cost efficiency. Its inverted design places objectives below the stage, providing unrestricted access to living specimens in culture dishes, flasks, and multi-well plates. Four Plan Fluor objectives cover the full range of routine and advanced cell culture workflows: the 4x for wide-field survey, 10x phase for standard monitoring, and 20x and 40x long working distance phase objectives with correction collars for high-resolution imaging through thick culture vessels. The 6-position fluorescence filter turret accommodates three included cubes β Blue (DAPI), Green (TRITC), and UV (DAPI) β enabling immediate multicolor fluorescence imaging. The 100W mercury lamphouse and dedicated power supply deliver the intensity required for demanding fluorescence applications. The left-side camera port allows direct attachment of a digital camera or imaging system. This system ships complete with all accessories and is in excellent condition. π Typical Applications Live cell fluorescence imaging and time-lapse microscopy Tissue culture monitoring and cell health assessment Multicolor immunofluorescence with DAPI, TRITC, and compatible channels Phase contrast imaging of unstained cells in culture vessels Stem cell and primary cell culture observation Publication-quality fluorescence photomicrography π Key Specifications Specification Details Frame Olympus IX51 with left side camera port Objectives Plan Fluor 4x, Plan Fluor 10x Phase, Plan Fluor 20x Phase LWD, Plan Fluor 40x Phase LWD Fluorescence Filter Cubes Blue (DAPI), Green (TRITC), UV (DAPI) Filter Turret 6-position Fluorescence Illuminator Vertical, 100W mercury lamphouse Condenser ULWD with phase inserts Stage XY mechanical stage Eyepieces 10x Widefield Accessories Included Mercury bulb, halogen bulb, UV guard, instruction manual, power cords, dust cover Condition Excellent SKU IX51-FL Country of Origin Japan Weight 75 lbs University and institutional purchase orders are welcome.
