Carl Zeiss Invertoskop Inverted Phase Contrast Microscope with 3 objectives, USED

Overview:

The Carl Zeiss Invertoskop remains a gold standard for reliability in the life sciences. Its inverted design places the illumination source above the stage and the objective turret below, providing the necessary clearance for large culture vessels. Equipped with a Triple Objective Turret and Phase Contrast rings, this microscope excels at monitoring cell confluence, observing mitosis, and performing routine contamination checks in a sterile lab environment.

Key Features:

• Zeiss Precision Optics: Features the classic Zeiss optical train, known for exceptional contrast, flat fields, and edge-to-edge sharpness.

• Integrated Phase Contrast: The condenser includes a specialized annulus disk that works in tandem with phase-ring objectives to visualize unstained, low-contrast biological specimens.

• Ergonomic Binocular Head: Designed at a fixed comfortable angle for long-term use, featuring high-eyepoint eyepieces suitable for users wearing glasses.

Applications:

• Live Cell Imaging: Monitoring the growth and health of primary cells or immortalized cell lines.

• Microbiology: Observing motile bacteria or protozoa in liquid suspension.

• In-Vitro Studies: Performing drug-sensitivity assays or toxicity testing in 96-well plate formats.
