Optika IM-300 Inverted phase contrast microscope, 400x, IOS LWD PLAN
€2.754,00 excl. VAT
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.
Inverted Trinocular Microscope for Routine Cell Culture Observation
The Optika IM-300 is built for laboratories that need dependable brightfield and phase contrast observation of live cell cultures from an inverted stand. The condenser extends its working distance up to 135 mm, and a phase contrast slider switches technique without changing hardware.
- IOS LWD W-PLAN PH objectives at 10x, 20x, and 40x
- Condenser working distance extendable up to 135 mm for tall culture vessels
- Built-in phase contrast slider (BF, 4x/10x, 20x/40x)
- Fixed stage with glass and metal round inserts
- Suited to routine inverted 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.
