🔧 Product Description
The Olympus IMT2 is one of the most cost-effective and capable inverted fluorescence microscopes available, offering a complete phase contrast and fluorescence platform at a fraction of the cost of newer systems. Its inverted design provides unrestricted access to living specimens in culture dishes, flasks, and multi-well plates. Four phase contrast objectives cover the full range of tissue culture workflows: the SPlan 4x and 10x for survey and routine monitoring, and ULWD CDPlan 20x and 40x long working distance objectives with correction collars for high-resolution imaging through thick culture vessels. The vertical fluorescence illuminator and 100W mercury lamphouse deliver reliable excitation intensity for Blue and Green fluorescence channels. Three camera ports — side and front ports on the frame plus the trinocular head camera port — provide exceptional flexibility for integrating cameras, video systems, or multiple imaging devices simultaneously. The 3-plate XY stage with right-hand controls and ULWD condenser with phase inserts accommodate standard culture vessels with ease. This system ships complete with all accessories and is ready for immediate use.
