IX2-SLP: a Device Designed for Biomedical and Research
The IX2-SLP is a pre-centred phase contrast slider designed specifically for Olympus IX2 series inverted microscopes. In medical observations or research on living cells, optical precision is paramount. With this system, users can switch between different magnifications without having to interrupt their analysis to manually adjust the optical settings. This ensures continuity in the observation of cell cultures, which is particularly important for prolonged studies of cell viability or manipulations under a sterile hood.
Time Savings and Enhanced Reliability
One of the major advantages of the IX2-SLP is its ability to maintain constant light transmission even when changing magnification. This stability ensures consistent observation, avoiding variations in light intensity that can alter the interpretation of results. The integration of a common ring for 10X, 20X and 40X objectives eliminates the need to move the slider according to the magnification selected, reducing the risk of error and increasing efficiency in routine analyses.
An Essential Tool for Precision Cell Analysis
Designed with Olympus's robustness and optical expertise, the IX2-SLP is an essential tool in biomedical and pharmaceutical research environments. It is particularly recommended for laboratories performing cell cultures, live tissue observations or analyses requiring high reliability over time. By facilitating the acquisition of clear images, even in the peripheral areas of culture dishes or multi-well plates, it contributes to reproducible and consistent results.
