The inverted microscope has become the most popular laboratory workhorse microscope because of its flexibility to combine the high-resolution of a traditional upright stereomicroscope with the top-side working distance of a dissecting scope. Thus, it is convenient for routine observation of live cells in culture flasks and dishes, as well as procedures like microinjection, in vitro fertilization (IVF/ICSI) and electrophysiology recording. Now you can get a top-quality research-grade inverted fluorescence stereo photo microscope for a fraction of what you may have thought — with two or more filter cubes, such as GFP/Fluorescein(FITC), Rhodamine(TRITC), or DAPI/Hoechst filter cubes included!

Finally there is a great alternative to the traditional route of dealing with your local "traveling salesperson" from Nikon, Olympus, Zeiss or Leica.  These companies generally make very good products, but not only do you pay a premium for their microscopes, you also pay for the salesperson, the saleperson's family, the saleperson's car, the saleperson's bonus, etc.  And, you'll pay for every single item, a la carte, at top dollar... right down to the the power cord! After they make it all add up to $20k-$30k, they try to make you feel better with a 5-10% discount.

Wouldn't it be better to pay half the price, without even asking for a discount? When you order our microscope, you pay for the equipment, not the international marketing program and sales force.  We configure the microscope with exactly the options you need, set it up, test every function with real samples, and then ship it to you.  Within minutes of opening the box, you're ready to use the scope!  And we're here nearly 24/7 to answer any questions you may have... for free... forever.  Try getting a quick response like that after placing an order w/ a local "rep"!

Here is what you get:

Please note that the price above is for a basic functional configuration with a few objectives and 2 fluorescence filter cubes. Your IX-51-2 will be customized according to your needs and we'll prepare a quote for you so that you can see how various options affect the price. For example, objective lenses range in price from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars each and filter cubes are about $1000 each. The microscope can hold 3 cubes at one time, or 2 cubes and a blank.
