🔧 Product Description

The Olympus IX71 is one of the most capable and widely adopted inverted research microscopes ever produced, and this fully configured system is ready for immediate use in demanding cell biology and tissue culture environments. The inverted design places objectives below the stage, allowing unrestricted access to living specimens in culture dishes, flasks, and multi-well plates. Four objectives span brightfield and phase contrast imaging from low-power survey to high-resolution detail: the UPlanFL N 4x for wide-field overview, UPlanFL N 10x phase for routine cell culture monitoring, and LUCPlanFL N 20x and 40x long working distance phase objectives with correction collars for imaging through thick vessels without compromising resolution. The 6-position fluorescence filter turret accommodates three included cubes — Blue (DAPI), Green (TRITC), and UV (DAPI) — enabling immediate multicolor fluorescence workflows. The 100W mercury lamphouse and dedicated power supply deliver the intensity required for demanding fluorescence applications. The left-side camera port allows direct attachment of a digital camera or imaging system without disrupting the optical path. This system ships complete with all accessories and is in excellent condition.
