Features of IX53
Ergonomy The optional tilting binocular tube reduces operator neck strain. While the low positioned stage handle and focus knobs make long term use comfortable.
Stability The IX53 inverted research frames are unsurpassed in compactness without any compromise in their rocklike stability, making them ideal for any application in which specimens are frequently changed.
Digital imaging Olympus digital cameras can be adapted via the standard left side port. The wide range of cameras available offers a choice of models to best fit the required application. Olympus cellSens software packages enable archiving and analysis of multistained specimens. Basic and integrated software solutions are available and Olympus specialists will support you in choosing the best option.
High performance fluorescence For fluorescence labelling in cell culture, Olympus fluorescence illumination systems and high definition ion coated filters provide the highest signal to noise performance. They incorporate the wavelength accuracy, edge steepness and low autofluorescence of UIS2 HQ fluorescence filters. Different fluorescence illumination systems are available to offer the best dye excitation according to individual application requirements.
Outstanding working distance Condensers with different working distances and long working objectives allow professional observation and documentation in even the most complex sample devices. Even more micromanipulation, microinjection or IVF processes (ICSI or IMSI) can now be performed easily.
UIS2 - making the invisible visible The UIS2 reveals previously unseen detail and protects cells from radiation. Superb signal to noise performance and enhanced spectral range deliver maximum signal with minimum excitation power. All contrast techniques for living cells can be selected, including pre-centred phase contrast and relief contrast for accurate and clear 3D-like images. The flexible UIS2 DIC enables contrast adjustment for thin and thick specimens in every magnification.
