Incorporation of advanced UIS optics ensures the highest level of clarity for cell checking applications. CKX series microscopes make cell checking quicker and easier than ever — because they are simple to operate, require minimal optical adjustments and capture the best possible observation images with outstanding efficiency. Use of a tilting observation tube, which allows the user to make observations while standing, is an especially convenient feature. In addition, the compact design a

Clear, wide-ranging phase-contrast observation. Ideal phase plate for cell culture. Clear cell observation right to the edge of the container. PHC objective virtually unaffected by surface tension. Low magnification UIS video adapters can be used for 0.25X, 0.35X and 0.5X magnifications, enabling clear display of the complete cell on the monitor. Clear up to the edge of the view field. Flatness improved for 10 to 15% Standard field number 20 Maximum field number 22 The UIS optics provide unsurpa

Just set the specimen on the stage and observe immediately while standing, with no optical adjustments. Pre-centered phase-contrast slider for quick, Tilting binocular tube for observation while standing adjustment-free observation The binocular tube has a 30-60 degree tilting mechanism to let the With the pre-centered phase-contrast slider, there is no need to researcher make observations while standing. The specimen is repeat centering each time the objective magnification is changed. removed

Relief contrast observations High-resolution relief contrast with N.A.0.5: thick specimens like egg cells can be observed in three dimensions Olympus' relief contrast maintains the same shadow direction even if the magnification is changed. The two-stage exchange slider uses a common aperture for 20X and 40X magnifications, so exchange between 10X/20X and 10X/40X is performed quickly. The same feature enables easy optical adjustment: by simply using the lever, the contrast can be changed w
