Inverted Microscope System for Advanced Live Cell Imaging

The IX73 inverted microscope system sets new standards in advanced live cell imaging with its stable compact frame, outstanding optical performance and maximum flexibility. Manual encoded or semi-motorised options enable configurations with a variety of component combinations. The IX73 is available as a one-deck system with ergonomic low stage height or as a two-deck system with additional expansion capabilities. Both provide the ability to perform a multitude of imaging techniques, ranging from long term time-lapse imaging and other demanding cutting edge techniques to routine testing and documentation.

Features:

  • Unique deck system
  • Unsurpassed stability and compactness
  • Dedicated to fluorescence imaging
  • Modular motorization - Motorised modules include fluorescence and transmitted light condensers, filterwheels for illumination and observation light paths, shutters, stages and nosepieces
