Olympus IX70 Inverted Fluorescence Microscope with U-DICTS DIC & Planapo 60X BFP1 Objective

The Olympus IX70 is a highly capable inverted research microscope from Olympus's flagship IX series, and this configuration is purpose-built for demanding DIC and fluorescence applications. The U-DICTS shift-type DIC/Nomarski slider, paired with the IX-LWPO polarizer and IX-AN analyzer, delivers exceptional contrast and optical sectioning of unstained living cells — revealing subcellular structures with clarity that phase contrast cannot match. The PlanApo 60x/1.40 BFP1 objective provides flat-field, high numerical aperture imaging optimized for both DIC and fluorescence, making it the ideal choice for single-cell and subcellular studies. The 4-position fluorescence filter turret and 100W mercury vertical illuminator support multicolor fluorescence imaging, while the front and side camera ports offer flexible options for digital documentation. The 3-plate XY mechanical stage with right-hand controls and LWD condenser accommodate standard culture dishes and multi-well plates. Additional objectives and DIC prisms can be added upon request; fluorescence components can be removed if not required. This system is in excellent condition and ships complete with all accessories.
