Clinical
Microscopes

Olympus’ clinical microscopes provide significant improvements and technological advances in key areas such as ergonomic design and observation capabilities, resulting in greater productivity and user comfort with uncompromising quality and versatility

CKX31 & CKX41

Microscope

The CKX microscopes utilize the infinity-corrected optical system for improved visibility and operability in cell checking. The CKX31 is a cost-effective inverted microscope suited to routine applications in a range of fields--from tissue culture and embryology to immunology and pharmacology. Olympus has taken this one step further with the CKX41 developing a modular design approach with the capability of a fluorescence illuminator for GFP; documentation of images with digital imaging and video monitoring. The CKX41 is routinely used for checking cell viability in petri dishes, culture flasks, and multi-well plates.

Features and Benefits

• CKX31 & CKX41 are designed using the (UIS) infinity-corrected optical system
• A robust, small footprint frame with triangular base and solid front-to-back support provides exceptional stability and allows the user more room on tabletop
• Improved optical performance for Phase Contrast and new Relief Contrast
• A pre-centered slider saves time in configuration of the phase annulus
• Unique tilting observation tube offers ergonomic positioning for sitting and standing observation (optional on the CKX41 only)
• Powerful 6V/30W halogen bulb provides significantly enhanced image quality and brightness for observation of cells
• Glass stage insert provides quick recognition of objective lenses (optional on CKX41 only)
• Features a fluorescence illuminator; a dual slider for blue and green excitation cubes, and offers a cost effective 50w mercury system (optional on the CKX41 only)
• Centering-free, common phase annulus for 10x, 20x, and 40x; needs no adjustment (standard with the CKX31)
