The AELAB Inverted Biological Microscope AE-IM400 is designed for advanced cell biology, tissue culture, and live specimen observation. With wide-field optics, phase contrast capability, and ergonomic design, it ensures accurate imaging while preserving sample integrity. A reliable choice for professional laboratories and research facilities.
A biological microscope is used to view tiny biological specimens by magnifying them with lenses and light. It allows detailed examination of cells, tissues, and microorganisms. The specimen is placed on a stage, illuminated, and magnified to reveal intricate details. This tool is vital for research, medical diagnostics, and education.
Features
The AE-IM400 positions the objectives beneath the specimen stage while the illumination and condenser sit above. This inverted configuration allows researchers to observe live cells at the bottom of culture dishes and flasks without disturbing them. Combined with infinity plan optics and optional phase contrast, the microscope delivers sharp, high-contrast images suitable for both routine and advanced biological studies.
