🔧 Product Description

The Olympus CKX41 is a purpose-built inverted microscope for cell culture observation and fluorescence imaging, combining a compact footprint with the optical performance of Olympus's Universal Infinity System 2 (UIS2) optics. Its inverted design provides open access to culture dishes, flasks, and multi-well plates without disturbing living specimens. Four objectives cover the full range of tissue culture workflows: the 4x brightfield for wide-field survey, and 10x, 20x, and 40x long working distance phase contrast objectives for high-contrast imaging of unstained cells through standard culture vessels. The high-angle tilting trinocular head is ergonomically designed for comfortable visual checks and simultaneous camera documentation. Two fluorescence filter cubes — Blue (FITC) and Green (TRITC) — enable immediate dual-channel fluorescence imaging including GFP and TRITC-labeled specimens. The 100W mercury lamphouse and dedicated power supply deliver reliable fluorescence excitation intensity. This unit has been professionally refurbished and ships complete with power cord, dust cover, and instruction manual.
