The Optika IM-300 is an inverted trinocular microscope for brightfield and phase contrast observation of live cell cultures. It carries IOS LWD W-PLAN PH objectives at 10x, 20x, and 40x, and the condenser extends its working distance up to 135 mm for tall culture vessels. The fixed 250×160 mm stage accepts glass and metal round inserts for slides, Petri dishes, and Terasaki plates. It suits laboratories that need a straightforward inverted platform for routine cell culture brightfield and phase contrast work.
Optika IM-300 Inverted Trinocular Microscope
The Optika IM-300 is an inverted trinocular microscope for brightfield and phase contrast observation of live cell cultures.
IOS LWD W-PLAN PH objectives cover 10x to 40x, with an extendable working distance condenser for tall culture vessels.
IOS LWD W-PLAN PH Objectives
The objective set covers 10x, 20x, and 40x, infinity corrected and anti-fungus treated with a 45 mm parfocal distance, giving 100x to 400x total magnification.
Extendable Long Working Distance Condenser
The Abbe condenser, N.A. 0.30, has a standard 72 mm working distance that extends up to 135 mm, with a phase contrast slider (BF, 4x/10x, 20x/40x) and a color filter slider.
Fixed Stage with Interchangeable Inserts
The 250×160 mm fixed stage accepts glass and metal round inserts, with holders for Petri dishes and a 96-well Terasaki plate available as options.
X-LED8 Illumination
The X-LED8 light source runs at 8 W with manual brightness control and a lifetime over 65000 hours at 6300 K.
Ideal Applications
The IM-300 suits laboratories that need routine inverted brightfield and phase contrast observation.
- Live cell culture observation
