CKX53 Inverted Phase Contrast Biological Microscope the Cell Culture Laboratory Solution
Product Description
The Cell Culture Laboratory Solution
Improved Imaging and Usability Facilitates Cell Cultivation
With improved image quality and easy handling, the Olympus CKX53 delivers stable performance and a more efficient cell culture process for a variety of cell culture needs including live cell observation, cell sampling and handling, image capture, and fluorescence observation.
Live Cell Observation
Acquire clear, reproducible, and high contrast images with a wide visual field, made possible by the CKX53's long-life LED and iPC system. Additionally, the newly developed inversion contrast (IVC) technique provides clear three-dimensional views.
Cell Sampling and Handling
CKX53 offers easier and more efficient cell sampling and handling in a clean bench environment, because of its small size and lightweight design. The user-oriented design and simple operation of the holder and manual stage maximize performance and usability.
Image Capture
Equipped with a standardized camera port, the CKX53 can be optionally paired with an Olympus camera, allowing users to quickly obtain clear images in brightfield illumination, phase contrast, newly developed inversion contrast,
and fluorescence imaging modes.
Fluorescence Observation
During fluorescence observation with the CKX53, a wide range of fluorescence dyes can be used by changing the mirror unit. With the increased filtering ability of the fluorescence mirror units, high contrast fluorescence images with a high S/N ratio can be reliably obtained even when fluorescence is relatively weak. Additionally, with the aid of the CKX53's 100W mercury lamp, clear and bright fluorescence observation is enabled.
Live Cell Observations
Fast and Effi cient Cell Observation with the integrated Phase Contrast (iPC) System
The high contrast achieved by the CKX53 iPC system quickly provides a clear view without needing to change the ring slit from the 4X to 40X objective. Performing simplified and efficient cell observation, for faster cell culture operations is made possible.
Clear View Empowered by Long-Life LED Light Illumination
Lasting longer than halogen bulbs, the energy-saving LED light source of the CKX53 delivers reliable color reproducibility as well as a uniform and clear image over the whole visual field with a field number (FN) of 22. The energy-saving performance of CKX53 guarantees a clear and stable view.
Wide and Clear View with the 2X Objective
The ring slit for the PLN2X objective, CKX-SLPAS, has a 22 mm field of view of 11 mm diameter. As a result, observation using the objective is perfect for efficient screening of the desired cells, allowing a faster cell culture process.
Additionally, the 2X objective provides noticeably higher contrast, allowing even transparent objects in the sample to be clearly identified.
Experience 3D Views Driven by the "Inversion Contrast" (IVC) Technique
With the use of this newly-developed IVC technique in CKX53, where the depth of field is narrower than that of the phase contrast, clear three-dimensional images can be obtained for objects of any shape, even transparent ones. In addition, IVC observation provides clear views without halos or directional shadows, preserving the integrity of object details during observation.
*10X objectives (PLCN10X, CACHN10XIPC) are lined up for this new IVC observation.
User-Oriented Design for Efficient Cell Sampling and Handling
Smooth Cell Observations in Sterile Conditions
With the hood kept down, CKX53 fits perfectly in a clean bench environment, allowing cell handling under completely sterile conditions. With its UV-resistant coating, CKX53 can also be left in the clean bench during the UV light sterilization process. Compared with previous CKX models, CKX53 weighs approximately 7kg and has a smaller base footprint. It can easily be moved with just one hand, using the neck of the observation tube for lifting as well as the sliding pad at the base of the microscope.
Easy Cell Sampling in a Clean Bench Environment
The shorter distance between the view point and the optical axis/focus knob on CKX53 offers natural hand positioning and makes focusing and cell sampling easier. Additionally, with full LED lighting available from the moment CKX53 is turned on, operation is less of a burden to the user, and cell sampling and handling can be finished in a shorter period of time.
Easy Handling of Any Type of Cell Culture Containers
Whether observing in a standing or seated position, the 45-degree optical access and the placement of the butterfly-shaped observation tube against the stage allows for ergonomic cell observation. Sterile work can be quickly started and finished, allowing cells to be returned to the incubator in a shorter time.
Additionally, the power switch is placed directly under the observation tube located along the stage. The operating components such as the power switch and the knob for switching the light path are placed close together to enhance the operability of the CKX53.
Microplates can be handled without a holder, and the well "address" of the microplate can be identified quickly using the grid for each well position on the CKX3-MVR manual stage. When viewing a 96-well plate, each 90-degree rotation of the stage knob moves the well position one at a time, allowing intuitive handling of the microplate during observation.
Fluorescence Observation
Clear Views with a Wide Range of Fluorescence Dyes
With the CKX53 standard fluorescence set, even weak fluorescence signal can be viewed clearly with the aid of the integrated 100W mercury lamp (U-LH100HG). The same type of mirror unit as those of IX3 and BX3 can be set at three slots of the mirror unit slider. Also, the same quality of performance in fluorescence observation as top of the line inverted microscopes can be obtained for wide range of fluorescence dyes according to the user's needs.
Compared to previous CKX models, the increased filtering ability of the fluorescence mirror units produces images at higher contrast.
