OLYMPUS CK30 Inverted Tissue Culture Microscope

The Olympus CK30 is a field-proven 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. Four objectives deliver a complete magnification range for tissue culture work: the 4x brightfield for wide-field specimen survey, 10x phase contrast for routine cell monitoring, and 20x and 40x long working distance phase contrast objectives for detailed cellular imaging through standard culture vessel walls. The inclusion of the 40x LWD objective sets this configuration apart, enabling high-resolution phase contrast observation of subcellular features and fine morphological detail that lower-magnification systems cannot resolve. In excellent condition, this is a versatile and immediately deployable inverted microscope for demanding cell culture environments.
