Inverted Microscope

The most durable, easy-to-use microscope for inverted applications and long working distance optics

The exclusive design utlizes interchangeable sliders, thus allowing a researcher to use the same set of objectives for Bright Field, Phase Contrast and Nomarski DIC examination of living cells, cultures, sediments, precipitates and other specimens. This also eliminates the need for costly second and third sets of objectives, making this microscope both versatile and economical.
The Microscopes come loaded with valuable extras that would cost hundreds of dollars from any other manufacturer -- because we believe that you are entitled to start using your microscope right out of the box.
.
  • Micrometer eyepiece with two interchangeable reticles (a 10 mm/100 div scale and a 10 mm x 10 mm/400 sq grid) for convenient measuring and counting.
  • Set of six high-quality filters to enhance your image.
  • Set of polarization filters (Polarizer and Analyzer).
  • Centering telescope to help you align the phase annulus rings.
  • Replacement bulb for uninterrupted operation. (not shown)
  • Set of stage inserts and extention plates (not shown) to accomodate a variety of vessels such as Petri dishes, flasks, microtest plates, etc.
