CKX 53 - Olympus Inverted Microscope

Compact, Ergonomic Inverted Microscope for Cell Culture

With improved image quality and ergonomics, the Olympus CKX53 inverted microscope delivers stable performance and a comfortable workflow for a variety of cell culture needs, including live-cell observation, cell sampling, and handling, image capture, and fluorescence observation.

Easy Live Cell Observations

Fast Cell Observation with the Integrated Phase Contrast (iPC) System

• High contrast provides a clear view of cells at 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x without the need to exchange or re-center the ring slit
• Phase-contrast system facilitates simple and efficient cell observation for a faster, more comfortable workflow

Efficient Cell Screening with a Clear, Wide View

• Efficiently screen for desired cells thanks to the ring slit for the PLN2X objective, which offers a 22 mm field of view and an 11 mm diameter
• 2X objective provides noticeably higher contrast than other objectives, so even transparent objects in the sample can be clearly identified
• The wide visual field makes it easy to observe the cells in individual wells of a 96-well plate without moving the stage
