This bench-top inverted microscope offers a robust stand with coarse and fine focus knobs, a four-position objective turret, and a manual X–Y stage designed to hold culture dishes, microfluidic chips, or slides. The built-in Köhler illumination system includes a halogen lamp and adjustable condenser for even bright-field lighting from below the sample. Eyepiece tubes are camera-adaptable for image capture. Ideal for live-cell monitoring, tissue culture checks, microfabricated device inspection, and routine optical microscopy in research and teaching labs.
