Its inverted configuration places the objectives below the stage, allowing direct observation of cells growing in flasks, dishes, and multi-well plates without disturbing the culture environment. The LED illumination system delivers stable, uniform light with minimal heat output — critical for maintaining cell viability during extended observation sessions. The four-objective turret provides a complete magnification range: a 4x brightfield objective for low-power culture surveys, and 10x, 20x, and 40x long working distance phase contrast objectives for detailed morphological assessment without cover slips. Phase contrast optics reveal intracellular structures, cell boundaries, and motility in unstained living cells with exceptional clarity. The integrated camera port enables seamless connection to C-mount cameras for documentation, time-lapse imaging, and quantitative analysis. This unit has been professionally refurbished and is in excellent optical and mechanical condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🔎 Typical Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\"\u003e\n• Routine cell culture monitoring and viability assessment\u003cbr\u003e\n• Live cell observation in flasks, dishes, and multi-well plates\u003cbr\u003e\n• Stem cell and primary cell culture workflows\u003cbr\u003e\n• Time-lapse imaging and cell motility studies\u003cbr\u003e\n• Morphological screening and quality control in biotech\/pharma\u003cbr\u003e\n• University and research laboratory cell biology courses\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📊 Key Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 50%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOlympus CKX53\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicroscope Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInverted, Phase Contrast \/ Brightfield\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIllumination\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLED (transmitted)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10x Widefield\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eObjectives Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4x BF, 10x Ph, 20x LWD Ph, 40x LWD Ph\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCamera Port\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes (C-mount compatible)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExcellent – Professionally Refurbished\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eUniversity purchase orders welcome.
