CKX53: a Complete Solution for Cell Culture Observation
The Olympus CKX53 microscope stands out for its ability to adapt to the requirements of cell culture laboratories, particularly for observation in sterile environments. Equipped with a UIS2 optical system and a 4000K colour temperature LED light source, it provides accurate colour reproduction while ensuring comfortable and fast observation without sample heating. The 45° inclined trinocular tube combined with the compact design ensures ideal ergonomics, whether sitting or standing under a laminar flow hood.
The CKX53 can be configured for different uses: Brightfield for coloured samples, Phase Contrast for unstained living cells, or Fluorescence for observing specific markings. The available objectives, combined with integrated phase contrast (iPC) or Inversion Contrast (IVC) technology, ensure excellent visualisation, even of transparent or low-contrast objects.
The stage is suitable for a wide range of containers: multi-layer vials, Petri dishes, microplates, etc., and can accommodate several types of media thanks to the accessories available. This allows the user to observe, sample and manipulate cells with ease, while reducing the time spent outside the incubator. A standard camera port allows clear images to be captured, facilitating cell tracking.
In medical and research laboratories, the CKX53 is a robust and effective solution for optimising cell culture, observation and analysis processes in sterile environments.
The CKX53 meets the requirements of medical and hospital environments where precision and speed of analysis are paramount, particularly in the monitoring of cell cultures in cell therapy, virology and reproductive biology. Its compatibility with low-magnification objectives (PLN2X, PLCN4X) allows for a comprehensive view of cell morphology, while high-magnification objectives provide a detailed examination of intracellular structures.
