Olympus CK2 Inverted Microscope with Stage and Camera Port

The Olympus CK2 is a classic inverted phase contrast microscope that has served cell biology and tissue culture laboratories for decades, and this configuration adds both an XY mechanical stage and a trinocular camera port — making it significantly more capable than a basic CK2 setup. 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. The XY mechanical stage enables precise, repeatable specimen positioning — essential for revisiting specific regions of interest across observation sessions. The trinocular head with camera port supports simultaneous binocular observation and digital image capture. In excellent condition, this is an outstanding value for any cell culture laboratory seeking a complete, camera-ready inverted microscope.
