CKX41 / CKX31 - A New Advance in Routine Inspections
Incorporation of advanced UIS2 optics ensures excellent clarity for cell checking applications
CKX series microscopes make cell checking quicker and easier than ever— because they are simple to operate, require minimal optical adjustments and capture superb observation images with outstanding efficiency. Use of a tilting observation tube, which allows the user to make observations while standing, is an especially convenient feature. In addition, the compact design allows installation right beside the incubator, improving safety and saving time spent on carrying specimens elsewhere for observation. Multiple observation methods are supported, and the range of applications has been further increased. The CKX series: designed to make routine cell checking quicker, easier and more efficient.
The UIS2 optics provide high optical performance
The UIS2 optical system combines the simplicity of the light path and the imaging excellence of a relay lenses to maintain excellent image intensity and to achieve an exceptional level of optical correction. Thanks to this feature, the UIS2 infinity-corrected optical system delivers high resolution and contrast. In addition to improved image quality, the maximum field of view has been extended to FN 22. This allows the use of various observation tubes provided for upright microscopes (patented, CKX41 only)
Enhanced clarity makes it easier to observe cell activity status
Incorporation of the world-renowned Olympus UIS2 optical system in the CKX series makes a dramatic improvement in flatness for 10 to 15% and enables very clear, high contrast images to be obtained up to the edge of the field view
Adoption of a UIS2 phase plate optimized for cell culture observation provides higher image contrast
The UIS2 phase plate adjusts the contrast according to the thickness of the cell culture, producing higher contrast images than those obtainable from conventional system
PHC type objectives minimally affected by surface tension around the container edge
The PHC type objectives are minimally affected by surface tension of the culture fluid, which can compromise clarity at the image periphery. Easier multi-well observation is one of several benefits. Combined with the improved flatness resulting from the use of UIS2 optics, this feature facilitates clear observation of cells even at the edge of the container
UIS2 infinity-corrected optical system
The advanced Olympus UIS2 optical system maximized the advantages of infinity correction. Light travels through the body tube as parallel rays as it passes through the objective. These are focused by the tube lens to form a completely aberration- free intermediate image. Attachments can be added between the objective and the built-in tube lens in the observation tube without any magnification factor alterations to total magnification. Additional correction lenses are not required The UIS2 optical system delivers optimum image quality with any configuration.
Relief contrast observations
High-resolution relief contrast with NA0.5: thick specimens like egg cells can be observed in three dimensions
Olympus' relief contrast maintains the same shadow direction even if the magnification is changed. The two-stage exchange slider uses a common aperture for 20x and 40x magnifications, so exchange between 10x/20x and 10x/40x is performed quickly. The same feature enables easy optical adjustment: by simply using the lever, the contrast can be changed while centering is being performed.
Vertical installation avoids interference with manipulators
Vertical installation helps the user to avoid accidentally touching the manipulators while operating the slider or making optical adjustments
Fluorescence observations
Fluorescence observation system with tree-position allows the use of U excitation.
Adopted renowned UIS2 optics, this system provides B and G excitations and optionally U excitation as well. All three can be provided simultaneously, with quick, easy exchange among them. Many different UIS2 filters can also
be installed, according to requirements, enabling this system to meet a wide range of fluorescence observations needs. Also, thanks to newly developed fluorescent illuminator, which secured UV transmission rate, and a variety of UIS2 fluorescent objectives, clear and high contrast fluorescent images are provided
Just set the specimen on the stage and observe immediately while standing, with no optical adjustments.
Pre-centered phase contrast slider for quick, adjustment-free observation
With the pre-centered phase contrast slider, there is no need to repeat centering each time the objective magnification is changed. Likewise, ring slit exchange when swapping between objectives is also unnecessary, since the ring slit is standardized for 10x, 20x and 40x magnifications. The CKX series makes phase contrast observations quick and easy, without optical adjustments, for much more efficient performance of routine tasks. Since the phase plate transmission rates are dictated by the objective in use, the brightness remains constant even when the magnification is changed
Tilting binocular tube for observation while standing
The binocular tube has a 30–60 degree tilting mechanism to let the researcher make observations while standing. The specimen is removed from the incubator and placed straight onto the microscope stage, so that cell checking can be done immediately. "Quick observation, quick return"—that’s the new style of routine inspection made possible by Olympus.
Slim, compact design takes up minimum laboratory space
The slim, compact design minimizes the depth of the microscope, allowing easy installation right beside the incubator or clean bench. Specimens can be taken and immediately set on the microscope stage for quick, efficient inspection.
Easy observation at the clean bench
The tilting binocular tube combination makes it unnecessary for researchers to adopt uncomfortable postures like lowering their face to the inside of the clean bench. Simply observe down the tube while working, and raise the tube afterwards: this method is much more convenient, since the clean bench can be opened/closed without moving the microscope.
