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.
An inverted biological microscope is a type of microscope where the light source and condenser are located above the stage, while the objectives are below. This design allows for the observation of living cells and organisms in culture dishes or flasks, without the need to disturb the samples.Inverted microscopes are particularly useful in cell biology, tissue culture, and other fields where specimens need to be observed in their natural state or in liquid environments. The unique configuration makes it easier to focus on specimens at the bottom of containers, providing clear images of cells and structures that might be difficult to view with a traditional upright microscope.
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.
