IX81 Inverted Motorized Research Microscope

• Superior frame stability and vibration-free operation make the IX81 well suited for stable observations such as patch clamping
• Built-in Z-axis motor with a 0.01m step size is ideal for deconvolution and laser confocal imaging
• 9 ports offer incredible flexibility with 4 ports offering simultaneous access to a primary image. Allows spectral separation with multiple detectors for real time co-localization imaging
• Frame is computer designed, cast from ADC-12 aluminum and utilizes an external power supply for improved structural and thermal stability
• Ultra-precise Z-axis motor with 10nm step size is ideal for optically sectioning during deconvolution or confocal imaging
• Frame includes pre-tapped mounts for easy attachment to a vibration isolation table
• The fully automated FluoView 500 Confocal scan unit mounts to the lower rear port of the microscope keeping the bench space on both of the frame open for other accessories and equipment. FV500 can also be mounted on the optional bottom port
• Two 12V/100W illumination columns tilt rearward giving excellent access to the specimen area for manipulator setup. Condenser rack also tilts rearward independently of the illumination column
• 100W illumination columns have a pre-tapped hole for manipulator mounting. Provides rearward tilt to manipulator assembly for easy specimen access
• Exclusive dual condenser 100W illumination column permits the attachment of two condensers and the ability to quickly switch between them

The IX81's modular frame and optical design provides 9 access ports for multiple input or output devices. Up to four ports can have simultaneous access to a primary image. With its built-in motorized Z-axis drive, 6-position nosepiece and light path selector, the IX81 is ready for multi-wavelength, advanced fluorescence and deconvolution techniques.
