This Nikon Diaphot Inverted Microscope is a professional-grade instrument designed specifically for the high-resolution observation of live cell cultures, tissue samples, and biological specimens in flasks, Petri dishes, or multi-well plates. Its inverted configuration allows for ample workspace above the stage, making it an essential tool for advanced life science research and clinical diagnostics.
Optics: Equipped with 4 High-Quality Nikon Objectives (see photos for specific magnifications).
Observation Mode: Set up for Phase Contrast, providing excellent detail in transparent living cells without the need for staining.
Ergonomics: Inverted design with a stable, heavy-duty frame to minimize vibration during high-magnification viewing.
Illumination: Features a powerful halogen light source; the bulb was recently replaced to ensure bright, consistent illumination.
Service History: This unit was recently inspected, cleaned, and tested. It is in full working order.
Mechanicals: Focus knobs (coarse and fine) move smoothly; the nosepiece rotates and clicks into position accurately.
Cosmetics: The microscope is in good "lab-used" condition. There is some minor tape residue and small surface chips/scratches on the enamel, which are purely aesthetic and do not affect performance.
