Culture Microscope The Cell Culture Laboratory Solution

Improved Imaging and Usability Ease Cell Cultivation With improved image quality and easy handling, the Olympus CKX53 microscope delivers stable performance and efficiency 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 microscope's long-life LED and iPC system. Additionally, the inversion contrast (IVC) technique provides clear threedimensional views. Cell Sampling and Handling...

Live Cell Observations Fast and Efficient Cell Observation with the Integrated Phase Contrast (iPC) System The CKX53 iPC system’s high contrast provides clear images without having to change the ring slit from a 4x to 40x objective. This simplifies your cell observation and makes your process more efficient. Clear View with Long-Life LED Light Illumination With a much longer life than halogen bulbs, the microscope’s energy-saving LED light source delivers reliable color reproducibility as well as a uniform, clear image over the entire visual field up to FN22. Clear view over the whole visual...

Wide and Clear View with a 2X Objective The ring slit for the PLN2X objective—CKX3-SLPAS—has a 22 mm field of view and an 11 mm diameter. This enables you to efficiently screen cells for a faster cell culture process. In addition, the 2x objective provides higher contrast so that transparent objects in the sample can be easily identified. 3D Views using the Inversion Contrast (IVC) Technique The IVC technique uses a narrower depth of field than phase contrast, enabling you to obtain clear three-dimensional images for objects of any shape, including transparent ones. IVC provides clear views without...

User-Oriented Design for Efficient Cell Sampling and Handling Easy Cell Observations in Sterile Conditions The CKX53 microscope easily fits in a clean bench environment with the hood down, enables cells to be handled in sterile conditions. With a UV-resistant coating, the microscope can be left on the clean bench during UV light sterilization. The CKX53 microscope weighs only 7 kg (15.4 lb) and has a smaller footprint than previous models. It’s designed to be lifted by the neck of the observation tube using one hand and has a convenient sliding pad on its base. Easy Cell Sampling in a Clean Bench...

Accommodates a Variety of Cell Culture Containers Using the universal holder, you can easily view cells that were cultured in a variety of containers, including dishes, microplates, and flasks. When the optional holder is attached, up to three 35 mm dishes can fit on the stage. Microplates can be viewed without a holder, and you can quickly identify the well address using the grid showing 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 one position at a time, making it easy to keep track of the microplate...

Fluorescence Observation Clear Views with a Wide Range of Fluorescence Dyes With the CKX53 standard fluorescence set, even weak fluorescence signals can be viewed clearly using the integrated LED and LDP light source (U-LGPS). The same high-performance mirror unit found on IX3 and BX3 microscopes can be set at three slots of the mirror unit slider. You can obtain the same high-quality fluorescence observation as high-end inverted microscopes for a range of fluorescence dyes. Compared to previous models, the improved filtering ability of the fluorescence mirror units produces images with higher...

Olympus Cell Culture Solutions Quickly Capture Clear Images The CKX53 microscope has a standard camera port. When paired with a DP23 camera, the software’s cell culture mode captures the appropriate color for cell culture samples, enabling the microscope to quickly capture highquality images. For even more versatility, any camera with a C-type lens mount can be used with the microscope. Efficiently Check Fluorescence Protein Expression The DP23M digital microscope camera is highly sensitive and equipped with a backside illuminated monochrome CMOS sensor to provide the image quality needed to...

CKX53 Configurations Four Upgradeable Base Configurations Brightfield This package features brightfield objectives (4X and 10X) and is used for observing stained samples e.g., protoplasts, other plant parts, plankton, and similar specimens. Phase Contrast Standard This package features phase contrast objectives (4X, 10X, 20X, and 40X) and the manual stage (CKX3-MVR). It is useful not only for observing the condition and activity of transparent live cells, but also for observing detailed structures within the cells. Phase Contrast Entry This package features an LED and LDP light source (U-LGPS)...
