Typical capacity

Commonly accommodates multiple T-flasks or microtiter plates, typically up to six at a time for this class of equipment.

Imaging objectives

Units of this type commonly support 4×, 10×, and 20× objectives.

Fluorescence channels

Typically includes green (e.g., 440–480 nm excitation, 504–544 nm emission) and red (e.g., 565–605 nm excitation, 625–705 nm emission) channels.

Image resolution

For a 4x objective, resolutions are typically around 3.05 µm/pixel; for 10x, around 1.22 µm/pixel; and for 20x, around 0.61 µm/pixel.

Throughput

Can typically process over 2,000 images per hour, depending on configuration and assay type.

Operating environment

Designed for operation within a standard tissue culture incubator.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a standard laboratory power supply, often 230V, 50Hz for UK operation, with specific requirements for the external controller and incubator.

• What types of assays can this system perform?

  This system is commonly used for live-cell assays including cell proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth, and various reporter gene assays.

• Is specialised software required for operation?

• Can this system be integrated with other laboratory equipment?

• What are the typical maintenance requirements for this equipment?

• Does this unit require a dedicated operator?

Used microscopes are widely regarded as reliable investments when sourced from reputable suppliers. Buyers typically prioritize optical quality, mechanical condition and calibration history. Key considerations include lens cleanliness, stage functionality and electronic components if applicable. Industrial and laboratory users consistently value equipment with documented maintenance records and original accessories. Established brands tend to retain functionality well across decades. Buyers should verify light source operability and request detailed condition reports before purchase to ensure equipment meets specific magnification and resolution requirements.
