Inverted microscopes present a particular ergonomic challenge — the eyepieces are typically positioned lower and at a more horizontal angle than upright microscopes, requiring the operator to lean forward and look nearly horizontally for extended periods, placing sustained strain on the neck, shoulders, and upper back. The tilting eyepiece mechanism of this head allows the user to adjust the viewing angle to find the most comfortable position for their individual height, posture, and working setup, significantly reducing musculoskeletal fatigue and improving productivity and comfort in high-use cell culture, live cell imaging, and clinical laboratory environments where CK series inverted microscopes are commonly used. This is the correct OEM ergonomic head for the CK2 and CK40 — an important upgrade option for researchers and institutions maintaining these 160mm tube length Olympus inverted microscopes in active service. This unit is in excellent, as-new condition at a significant discount from the list price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🔎 Typical Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCell culture and live cell imaging — reducing neck and back strain for operators spending extended time at CK2 or CK40 inverted microscopes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClinical and diagnostic labs — ergonomic improvement for technicians performing routine inverted microscope observation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCore facility and multi-user environments — accommodating users of different heights and postures with a single adjustable head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErgonomic upgrade for existing CK2 or CK40 inverted microscopes with standard fixed-angle heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny CK2 or CK40 application where operator comfort and sustained productivity during extended observation sessions are priorities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📊 Key Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOlympus Part Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCK40-ERGO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eErgonomic Tilting Binocular Observation Head\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eErgonomic Feature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustable tilting eyepiece angle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTube Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Microscopes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOlympus CK2, CK40 inverted microscopes\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\u003eHS Code\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e901190\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExcellent — As New\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'Segoe UI Emoji', sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eUniversities and research institutions are welcome to purchase using an official purchase order.
