Cost effective fluorescence microscopy
Fluorescence, which began as a research microscopy technique, is now in increasing demand even for routine cell observation including GFP or other new fluorochromes
Fluorescence, which began as a research microscopy technique, is now in increasing demand even for routine cell observation including GFP or other new fluorochromes Olympus has therefore developed a cost-effective add-on fluorescence unit for the new CKX41 inverted microscope that delivers images of outstanding brightness and clarity

The CKX41 is a carefully priced system for routine cell observation.
Fluorescence capability is provided with a modular unit combining 50W mercury illumination and a filter slider.
The three position slider combines blue and green excitation filters together with a brightfield position.
Fluorescence excitation and emission filters, as well as dichroic mirrors out of the fluorescence cube range of BX2 and IX2 microscopes can be used to fine tune for a special fluorochrome.
A filter combination for UV excitation (Dapi etc) is also available.
The CKX41 also has an option for a trinocular tube for camera attachment.
Documentation of images can be carried out by incorporating the CKX41 into various Olympus systems for photographic capture, video monitoring or digital imaging.
The incorporation of Olympus UIS optics with outstanding contrast, resolution and working distance completes the profile of the CKX41 as a routine upright microscope with advanced capabilities. Request a free brochure from Olympus Life Science Europa ...
