Just set the specimen on the stage and observe immediately while standing, with no optical adjustments.
Pre-centered phase-contrast slider for quick, adjustment-free observation
With the pre-centered phase-contrast slider, there is no need to repeat centering each time the objective magnification is changed. Likewise, ring slit exchange when swapping between objectives is also unnecessary, since the ring slit is standardized for 10X, 20X and 40X magnifications. The CKX series makes phase-contrast observations quick and easy, without optical adjustments, for much more efficient performance of routine tasks. Since the phase plate transmission rates are dictated by the objective in use, the brightness remains constant
even when the magnification is changed.
*The IX2-SL with centering mechanism enables maximized phase-contrast performance with precise optical adjustments.
Tilting binocular tube for observation while standing
The binocular tube has a 30-60 degree tilting mechanism to let the researcher make observations while standing. The specimen is removed from the incubator and placed straight onto the microscope stage, so that cell checking can be done immediately. "Quick observation, quick return"— that’s the new style of routine inspection made possible by Olympus.

Slim, compact design takes up minimum laboratory space
The slim, compact design minimizes the depth of the microscope, allowing easy installation right beside the incubator or clean bench. Specimens can be taken and immediately set on the microscope stage for quick, efficient inspection.
Easy observation at the clean bench
The tilting binocular tube combination makes it unnecessary for researchers to adopt uncomfortable postures like lowering their face to the inside of the clean bench. Simply observe down the tube while working, and raise the tube afterwards: this method is much more convenient, since the clean bench can be opened/closed without moving the microscope.
